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

The whizzing of the water gun piercing the air rose with the rumbling of the cave's collapse, echoing continuously underground.


For a moment, everyone instinctively looked in the direction of the incoming water flow, but they could only catch a glimpse of a fleeting glint of water!


The knight, as if facing a formidable enemy, raised his shield, and immediately heard a crisp sound of a heavy object striking!


Strangely, though the water gun seemed quite stable, the force of the final burst of water was several times stronger than the initial impact.


The knight took a half step back, and his sturdy bronze shield, capable of withstanding the simultaneous fire of alchemical firearms, shockingly now had a deep dent in it.


—But that was just a stream of water?! 


The leading knight bellowed, both as a question and to pass the alarm to their headquarters nearby.
