Heretic's Idol: How a Nameless Village Deity Conquers the Pantheon

After a study-abroad student is doxxed and killed by fanatic idol fans for speaking out, his dying wish is simple: to become an idol in his next life. To his shock, he reincarnates as a heretic stone statue in a Western theocratic world, where the Church deems all “non-Luminous faiths” as heresy, and Purifiers erase every trace of unbelievers wherever they go.

His only hope lies in the devotion of ordinary people: a village woman’s wheat cake offering can mend his cracks; a farmer’s prayer helps his shrine take root and grow; a red string tied to his stone wrist by a young girl transforms into his very first divine power. As more and more villagers burn incense before his ruined temple, his humble shrine gradually evolves into a celestial domain.

The mightiest divinity is born from the sincere faith of mortals. Amid incense and prayers, he will rise from obscurity to become the Supreme God.
