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.

The sudden battle of a Sublimator in the afternoon, as well as the first massive thunderstorm of the early summer that followed, left everyone from Viscount Grant down to the most ordinary port residents with lingering fear.


The continuous thunderclaps and lightning made the night sky half-filled with intense light, and even though all the residents knew that the storm wouldn't come back so soon, the sensitive nerves of the people of the Southern Territory still prevented them from finding peaceful sleep.


In the office on the second floor of the Elder's Hall at Harrison Port, the old man gazed out at the night rain and dark clouds, with Elan breathing gently in his embrace, already fast asleep.
