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

Watching his student become extraordinarily simplistic in his thinking upon this subject, even revealing a confidently resolute expression, the old man couldn't help but smile helplessly, "Where would I be concerned about his safety? Have you not noticed that the lad seems to have known about the existence of the Southern Sea Ruins all along?"


"He previously instructed me to dive straight to the bottom, although it was also for the sake of safety, to avoid everyone falling to their death should I lose my strength... But that excitement, that fervor, that joy as if he became a different person - didn't you notice any of it?"


Yisen Gard's face was a picture of bewilderment, but now that his teacher had mentioned it, he also vaguely sensed that something was amiss.


Indeed... Ian had not been like this before.
