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

"What's wrong, Jegarna, cat got your tongue?"


—Go ahead and rely on that pretty face from The Empire!"


Jegarna brushed the dust off his robe with a sullen expression, wanting to say that, but realized it lacked any real sting… living off Ian? God, if he could, he'd be happy to!


Saying such a thing would obviously make Anfa burst into laughter, so even though his face was changing colors in embarrassment, he held his tongue and turned to leave without a word.


However, despite getting utterly beaten by Ian, one could even say he was wiped out in seconds, Jegarna bore no ill feelings towards Ian. Before leaving, he even waved to Ian, indicating he wouldn't retaliate—only a fool would feud with such a talent. The power and potential Ian displayed were enough to gain the Ten Kings Blood's attention.


Anfa shook her head and laughed for a moment at Jegarna's retreating, disheveled figure, then turned to scrutinize Ian, as if seeing this friend in a new light.
