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

In the blizzard of the Ice Abyss, the young man holding his breath quietly gazed at his fingertip, locking eyes with the tiny fairy.


With a slight bend of his elongated index finger, Ian brought the 'butterfly' radiating coldness closer to himself, attempting to observe it closely, yet the 'butterfly' leaped from his fingertip, fluttering around his hair and then crawling up to the top of his head through the boy's soft sideburns, where it comfortably lay.


The residual wave of Origin Quality from the Fairy Wings still lingered on Ian, the familiar fluctuation that surrounded the young man was precisely why the fairy butterfly drew close to him.


It was like one breeze naturally gravitating towards another, such was its existence.


A frown lightly creased Ian's forehead; he too was somewhat at a loss.


Looking towards Yisen Gard at his side, the boy found his peer simply stupefied, staring intently at the top of his own head before the surprised gaze slowly lowered to meet his.
