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

Ian realized that his mental state had just shown a slight crack, failing to maintain the seamless state of mind, but he didn't think it mattered much. If a person truly experienced no emotions at all, then that life would be devoid of flavor.


The psychic attack from the Nest Will was indeed accurate, and this was where the opponent excelled.


But it couldn't truly cause the youth to succumb. He carefully guarded his core, beginning to reject these memory fragments originating from other souls.


The play of light and shadow continued.


The gathering ended, and dim light illuminated the cramped underground living area, while the boy had become an adult at some unknown time. He arrived at an ecosystem full of frost, with a dim artificial light source hanging overhead.
