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

"And I must tell you, they were wrong! The steadfast Imperial People will not be felled by conspiracy and trickery!"


"Now, thanks to the efforts of governors and lords everywhere, and the Alchemy Association's alchemists, our farmlands are recovering, seedlings are growing, our cities are returning to tranquility, workshops are resuming production, and though we are in pain, we have also clenched our fists. Their days are numbered; retaliation is next."


"I declare that the Western Territory and South Ridge are entering full military preparedness. We will no longer allow ridiculous jesters to continue using dark methods to spill the blood of our people. They will be crushed, toppled by all citizens possessed of zeal and ideals, never to rise again!"


"It is time to swing this fist and smash it into the faces of the Fiery Flame Land thugs!"
