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

As Ian took the crystal plate in his hands, silvery halos shimmered in his eyes.


He didn't care about any evidence of guilt or innocence, after all, it was the Yisen Gard who really needed to worry about these things; he estimated they could glean many clues from it.


To him, however, the youth discovered that this crystal plate contained a multitude of extremely intricate structured inscription crystals... or rather, integrated inscription groups!


"The level of precision in this craftsmanship is quite impressive..."


Closing his eyes, he scanned the overall structure of the communication crystal plate in his mind. When he opened his eyes again, Ian had a smile on his face: "A fine piece indeed. Although it's a bit challenging to replicate, I've completely grasped its principle."


"That being said, there probably isn't a patent system on the Terra Continent, right? Good, that will make things much easier in the future."
