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

"Ultimately, there are too many high-ranking figures in the Imperial Capital, and I feel constricted with much I can't do—just like you don't wish to return to the Northern Territory and prefer to avoid your father, I feel the same staying in the Imperial Capital. If I were to stay, I would just keep on with some research and pick up a few awards."


"What's the use of getting a large sum of money? It can't revive my family or make my territory thrive."


"Especially now, with so many high-power level giants gathered in the Imperial Capital... Rather than getting involved or just watching, I would rather leave as soon as possible."


"Now that the Cyclops Giant is almost complete, and with my strength at the Second Energy Level, I have enough power to make a place for myself in South Ridge."


Ian said this, and he was not lying. These were indeed his honest thoughts... part of them.
