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 Dragon's Chant wafted from a distant beyond, compelling the two young people to peer into the infinite expanse of ice and snow.


They were currently perched above a solidly built range of icy hills, and beyond lay a glacier replete with peaks and valleys of uneven ice, with jagged crevasses and sharp icebergs intertwined in a complex landscape. On the seemingly flat glacier fields on the other side, hidden beneath were many perilous ice holes leading to unknown frigid depths.


The wind and snow howled fiercely, with gusts coming swiftly from all directions. Clearly, this place was connected to the outside, or perhaps the ruins' air exchange system was still operating continuously a thousand years after the Calamity of Heavenfall.


Aside from these sounds, within the Ruins of Ice Abyss, the Dragon's Chant resonated.
