You are the god of a forgotten village, how do you make it a better place?

This was posted a long time ago but I'm feeling nostalgic for it right now so I'm posting it again, with my comments in parentheses.<br><br>I am the god of a village that no one has heard of, a village that was forgotten by time. I was once a god of great power and authority over a grand empire, but I lost my godhood when the empire fell. It was not a good thing, but I learned to live with it. I wandered the earth for many years, and eventually, I found this village. It was a small village, not even a dot on a map. I knew that this was where I belonged, and I decided to become its god once more. I had no powers, but I still had the will to make things better.<br><br>I began by fixing the houses. They were in disrepair, and the villagers had to constantly patch them up. I used my bare hands to repair them all. The villagers looked on in disbelief as I worked, but they said nothing.<br><br>Next, I improved the fields. The villagers worked hard to plant and harvest crops, but the yields were always small. I used my bare hands to till and plow the fields. The villagers looked on in disbelief as I worked, but they said nothing.<br><br>Then, I improved the village's water supply. The villagers had to walk long distances to fetch water from a nearby stream. I used my bare hands to dig a well in the village square. The villagers looked on in disbelief as I worked, but they said nothing.<br><br>Finally, I improved the village's defense. The villagers were afraid of bandits and wolves. I used my bare hands to build a wall around the village. The villagers looked on in disbelief as I worked, but they said nothing.<br><br>When I had finished, the villagers approached me. "Thank you," they said. "We did not expect you to do these things for us."<br><br>I smiled. "I am your god," I said. "It is my duty to help you."<br><br>The villagers nodded and smiled. "We will always remember you as our god," they said.<br><br>I nodded. "I will always remember you as my villagers."<br><br>And so, the village flourished. The villagers grew rich and happy, and the village became a place of wonder and magic. And I, the god of the forgotten village, was happy to be of service to them.<br><br>&#x200B;
