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

the old man said softly, and even now, he was filled with great doubts: "At that time, His Majesty was completely different from what was later propagated. He was an emperor both resourceful and gentle... He reformed the labyrinth industry, restarted the expansion movement, vigorously developed the economy, cultivated merchants, and united a whole new batch of Military Merit Nobility and factory owners under his command."


"But when faced with the relics we submitted, he flew into a terrible rage, like the true Black King, and without explanation arrested our entire family, executed all the Sublimators with a family inheritance, or stripped them of their Sublimation Organs and exiled them."


"Only I... because I inherited part of my father's bloodline, never touched the family's Sublimation Bloodline, and was always exploring outside, was thus able to survive."
