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

"——Wife, I'm back——" "You good-for-nothing, the children are still around!" "Hehe, then we'll wait for nighttime, nighttime!"


"Boss, are we really not going to collect protection money? All that cash is making me envious…" "Idiot, those are workers hired by Lord Viscount himself, you dare make a move, and it'll be your neck that's heating up!"


"Alas, the price of chicken has gone up again, the chicken farm got blown away last year, no amount of subsidies can make something out of nothing." "Should we raise our prices too?" "How could we? The city hall said they want to stabilize prices…" "Then let's go get subsidies!" "Silly woman, how could a small vendor like us get our hands on subsidies…"
