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

"Is it the Origin Quality of the Sand Armor Apprentice that makes you feel close?"


As he spoke, Ian raised his hand, and a golden radiance of Origin Quality converged in his palm.


Seeing this, the Ironclad Shark increased its swimming speed slightly, the light flickering in its shark eyes growing more vivid.


Magical Beasts possess intelligence far greater than their kind, or rather, Origin Quality itself allows them not to focus all their energy on survival but to contemplate more efficient hunting methods. This, in turn, stimulates active thinking, and with the help of Origin Quality, they can reshape their brain regions and thinking patterns, laying the foundation for evolving into higher-intelligence Wise Magical Beasts in the future.


Clearly, this Ironclad Shark could understand what Ian was saying, or at least, it could comprehend the meaning represented by Ian's emotions.
