What, why would they think I am a village chief, is it because I mention chief that they think I am the one, hm this situation is tricky if I say I am the chief maybe I could rip some benefits but there could be dangers as well. Let's go with a poker face first.
"What if I am the chief sent by Valor City Lord?"
A crowd of villagers starts whispering as if they are scared of the man who just arrived.
'Did they send another bastard to bleed us out of the last coins we have?'
'Shh, don't say that, what if he hears you?'
'I don't care what can he do kill me? It's better to die than to live under tyranny.'
'Dont say that maybe he is different from the previous chief'
'Don't mention that bastard he just took all the money we had and bought Baron's title so that he can now live a luxurious life in the Meleg town.'
'Cough, cough'
The whisper among the villagers stopped as soon as the man who was speaking with David coughed. Then he turned to David and asked him the same question again.
"Are you the new chief that Valor's City Lord sent?"
David knew that he must make a decision that could probably be life-changing to him.
"Yes, I am."
The silence filled the square where everyone was gathered and suddenly David's voice once again broke the silence.
"From today I am the chief does anyone have objections?"
The man who was talking with David and who also seemed like the one who led the villagers bowed his head, clenched his fists, and somehow managed to say:
"Welcome village chief I am Huzim, ready to serve under your command.'
David makes a face that resembles the worst demons of hell and mumbles
"I hit the jackpot"
Some of the villagers were scared to death after seeing his devil-like face, and some babies and kids even started crying, after witnessing this scenery Huzim dropped to the ground and started to beg David.
'Village chief please don't make us suffer we got nothing left after the last chief took everything from us.'
David's face changed to one which was filled with despair and barely got the strength to say:
"Did I just become the chief of the poor village?"
Silence begins after David finishes that sentence. Aghh, my luck sucks, I thought that being chief would bring me a lot of money and I would be able to buy good gear with that money and level up like crazy, but what's with this system message that says the village gold is zero.
A purple window appears.
Congratulations on becoming a village chief of Peil village.

Okay, it's bad but at least I could use those villagers in some way if I think hard enough, for now, let's see if I can get a place where I could sleep, let's ask this Huzim dude he seems to be the one that people here see as their leader.
"Your name was Huzim, right?"
'Yes chief, I am Huzim.'
"Can you show me where is a place I am supposed to stay in?"
'Yes chief, follow me.'
This village is so small, I wonder what kind of shabby place I will be staying in, ugh, let's just follow this Huzim guy and hope for the best.'
'Here we are, this is a village hall and also the place where you will be staying starting today.'
"Thank you, Huzim you may leave."
Hohoho, even if the village is small, they still build such a nice mansion for the chief I guess I will be living a good life here. But this system window has been bothering me since earlier, what should I do about it?
Dark colored window appears.
The village is on the verge of falling.
