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

Yisen Gard indeed came specifically to see Ian today.


This morning, Master Gossay discussed many task-related matters with him, entrusting him with quite a few things, one of which was to contact Ian and inform him that he had been selected for the exploration team and to relay some essential information he needed to know.


So the blond youth brought two guards with him to look for Ian, only to discover that the White Folks appraiser had already left the house and headed outside the city gates.


Yisen Gard felt that there was nothing secretive about looking for someone, so he straightforwardly asked The Gate Guard about Ian's whereabouts, tossing quite a few Talle in the process—not that The Gate Guard revealed Ian's location. It was mainly because Ian himself did not hide it; to attract potential enemies, he even intentionally mentioned his destination openly to others.
