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

Imperial Capital, Master Gossay's private research tower.


Ian opened his eyes, awakening from a brief rest.


The mild sensor light on the ceiling dimmed as he gazed at it directly, only to brighten once he shifted his gaze, allowing clear visibility throughout the room.


Apart from this rather advanced intelligent lighting system, the single room in Master Gossay's private laboratory was actually quite spartan.


The room contained only a table, a bed, and an adjoining washroom, devoid of anything else, not even a nightstand for placing items.


Clearly, none of the people who stayed here had personal lives in mind; this was merely a place for sleeping and resting, with work in the laboratory awaited upon awakening.


Ian didn't mind this design; he even felt a sense of familiarity.


Moreover, he hadn't really been unconscious for several days, only now coming to.
