Gloomy Sky Hidden God

The first star that passed away extinguished two thousand years ago.
Four hundred years later, the mysterious Calamity of Heavenly Fall destroyed the civilization of the previous era, returning thriving cultures to ignorance.
Since then, stars gradually vanished, the Firmament grew dark and dim, and a new civilization rose from the starless wilderness, flourishing once more.
Yet, what accompanied this were war, death, destruction, and hatred.
The flames once aimed at the Firmament were used to slaughter the people of enemy nations, and the raining clouds once engineered to alter deserts were turned into floods that engulfed the land.
Humans once again began to kill each other for wealth and power... but no one looked up at the sky.
They lost the Guidance of the stars Above the Sky, forgetting the awe of gazing upon the Milky Way.
They were all prisoners.
One thousand six hundred years after the Calamity of Heavenly Fall, a young child awakened memories of his past life.
He wanted to break the Cage, to throw off the shackles.
He wanted to become a star.
To return to Above the Sky.
"I don't care about how the people of this world live, whether they're well-fed or not, whether they can dress warmly or live comfortably, whether they have dreams or hopes. I don't care about their loves and hates."
"I just want to go Above the Sky."
——Ian.

Above The Sky

With the gradual brightness of the dawn, Harrison Port seemed to awaken and bustle with renewed energy.


The port had already resumed work, and the sounds of merchant caravans, horses, and pedestrians filled the air. Mountain oxen, nearly one and a half times taller than a man, dragged massive carts over the mud and stones, kicking up clouds of dust.


The cries from the street stalls and shops, the aroma of fish soup and wheat cakes, and the shouts of the dockworkers all gave the city's residents a sense of familiarity and comfort.


Twenty days had passed since that terrible storm and invasion.


In just over twenty days, it was not possible to rebuild the damaged districts, repair the broken city walls, reorganize the city guard troops who had suffered heavy casualties, nor restore the network of towns centered around Harrison Port. Even the outer wall of the Viscount's Mansion hadn't been fixed.
