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

He seemed to be saying something; it was but a projection from a vastly distant place, manifested here by the strength of a Fifth Energy Level being crossing endless distances. Thus, when the grand and resounding declaration that seemed like the simultaneous voices of countless people arose, Ian could only hear the latter half.


"...So, this is our despicable human nature,"


The silver figure in mid-air stated passionately to the empty void of the sky and earth before him, his head slightly bowed, his eyes firmly closed, yet his voice carried a heart-shaking power: "In our times of misfortune, we always ponder if it is the fault of outsiders, or if there will be a savior to rescue us. But when the savior truly arrives, no one wishes to speak for him because what he aims to do is not to remove our personal misfortunes, but to change this hellish world."
