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

"...then I really have no way to refuse."


Ian's gaze fell, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of irony—back then, the Origin Dew that Weyges sought made him rack his brains without finding an opportunity for achievement, even having to resort to aiming for the former Empire's First Knight.


And now... just by protecting such a young master, he could obtain it, and even an inheritance of a higher class?


The difficulty levels were worlds apart, it was a society with staggering inequality... Although this indeed included the element of recruiting him, the "genius," it was really hard to keep a straight face.


The young man let out a long sigh, "But if you know it's so dangerous, why not just stay in Harrison Port? No matter how bold an assassin is, they couldn't possibly pose any harm to Yisen under the care of three Second Energy Level protectors."


"To willingly set sail and place oneself in jeopardy, along with preparing an escape route, is indeed overly risky."
