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

"How could this be… no, nothing is impossible…"


Uttering those words in astonishment, the Elder raised his head to look Ian in the eye. Elder Prude himself didn't know how bizarre, excited, fearful, and bewildered his expression must be.


He didn't even know what he was thinking, his thoughts surged like a tide, and then quickly settled down.


"Whatever I say, you will leave, won't you?"


The old man who knew the significance of revealing everything stared intently at the young man before him and said solemnly, "I can't stop you, you only wish for me to carry out your will, to see the future you want to see, correct?"


Ian replied without a second thought, without hesitation, without worrying that his words might enrage the Elder before him: "But, it's the future that we both want to see."


"The future I can see is not solely my own, Elder, it's also your will."


"It's just that you don't know it yet."
