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

With just a simple potato, Ian could concoct four or five dishes with vastly different flavors, all delicious... This incredible transformation was akin to alchemy!


And every time, Ian would tell him that an alchemist who was no good at swordsmanship was no good as a chef.


As a knight who was adept in alchemy, it was only natural that he could cook.


Even Yisen Gard would mock Ian saying, "Aren't I an alchemist too? Don't I know swordsmanship? Why can't I cook?!"


"Is your swordsmanship as good as mine?"


With that simple counter-question from Ian, Yisen Gard immediately recalled the feeling of being easily overpowered during their sparring, left with no ground to argue.


This afternoon, Yisen Gard had accompanied Master Gossay to the Upper City District for several meetings and was planning to continue working on the armor suit's improvements with Ian in the evening.
