This is an amazing response written by halcyonhue to a writing prompt about being given a Godmark. This story goes hand in hand with the Farmer Builds a Temple story. Here is the full prompt: “A mark on your forehead identifies the god you must worship to stay alive, usually by joining its local church or temple. Your mark is unknown, meaning an old, forgotten god sponsored you. To survive, you must either find an old temple to worship at, or do the arduous task of building a new one.”

Read Arepo’s backstory here: Farmer Builds a Temple – Writing Prompt Response
Reading Arepo’s name brought back a small memory of the first story, this is such a good continuation
This makes the original story worse by implying that worship of gods is little more than an extortion racket.
Isn’t it though?
Superb
So good!
Well-written. I enjoyed this story immensely.
