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

Heart-stopping moments and surging tides are always in the minority, life gradually returned to calm.


As the Natives fell silent, South Ridge regained its peace, and with the contractions of the four core Native tribes, many small and medium-sized Native tribes chose to submit to Harrison Port, accepting restraint, and trade between the two parties recommenced.


And this time, control was entirely in the hands of the Imperial People.


Through exploiting the Natives, Harrison Port enjoyed a brief period of prosperity, and even with a significant reduction in trade with the Imperial Center, it did not slip into economic recession.


City reconstruction gradually unfolded, leaving aside other impacts, Ian thereby gained a considerably long period of development time.
