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

A gust of cold wind whooshed through the sky, carrying rainwater from the distant top down onto the reef, where the droplets streamed down the slanted stone surface like a waterfall, converging into a surging underground rock river.


Lying on the ground, the young man with white hair twitched his eyelashes and opened his eyes. A clear, water-like sheen lit up, followed by the glimmer of silver stars, and the two intertwined into a glint of silver-green fluorescence that flowed through his pupils.


Ian quickly awakened from his momentary daze, stood up, and silently surveyed his surroundings.


The air was filled with water vapor, and a dense fog completely enveloped the area, making it feel as if one were in the clouds.


But the young man knew very well that he was under the ground.


Deep, deep underground, even beneath the abyss of the sea.
