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

"After you wash the dishes, go to Elder Prude's place. I won't be home for some time, and the Elder will take care of you,"


Having instructed Elan and received an obedient "Okay~" in response, Ian smiled and went to check on his future-predicting tool, the fish.


Hmm, the result isn't bad, just ordinary red, and surprisingly no black.


This was quite astonishing to Ian—the deadly black and dangerous red often appeared together, since some dangers are inevitable, like a great storm; even if you know about it in advance, what can you do? It takes nearly half a month to leave South Ridge, and anywhere within South Ridge could be affected by the storm. At most, you'd either be killed by hail and giant waves or by flash floods and mudslides.


But this time, it was purely a red danger... confirming that in this mission, there wasn't even a hint of a natural environmental factor.


"Humans are indeed much more terrifying than nature."
