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

Ian used his sword to pry open the chest of the mutant, and discovered that the parasite was not 'entwined' around the spine but that it was actually a part of the spinal cord—the parasite enveloped the mutant's spine like a neural structure, causing the brown-red worm body to spread throughout the mutant's entire body, wrapping around the stomach and extending into the intestines, taking over the digestive system.


At its tip was the mutant's original brain.


—This parasitic worm had completely replaced the mutant's neural structure and had taken full control of the body!


The original mutant was left with just a carcass, its spinal cord and all neural systems had been consumed and replaced by the parasite!


Narrowing his eyes, Ian's mouth curved into an arc of interest as he raised his sword to lift the mutant's still relatively intact skull, revealing its inner side full of viscous mucus and the brain cavity with bizarre pustules.


The youth couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
