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

"Hiliard, let's go, take me to a place."


"All right. Wait, you want to go to the far south border? The coastal mountain area of Harrison Bay... That's too dangerous!"


"With your protection, where would be dangerous? Let's go."


"...There's nothing different here, except the sea is light green, very clear, and there are many large coconut trees and redwood trees along the coast, nothing particularly special."


"What you've described is already beautiful, learn to appreciate them. Hiliard, look, do you see any huge and profound shadowy outlines on the seabed in the distance? With your strength, you should be able to see them more clearly than I can."


"Yes, indeed there is, its outline is square and majestic, like a collapsed sky pillar... wait, is that a man-made object? Is that a relic from a previous era's civilization?!"
