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.

Only through exploration can we conquer nihility.


He left the shouting Dragon Kings behind him and strode toward the breach of Infernal Heaven.


"I don't care how the people of this world live."


"I don't care if they have enough to eat, if they can stay warm, have good shelter, or have dreams and hopes."


"I don't care about their loves and hates."


"Hate me or love me, I only hope, only hope this all has meaning, even if it truly must come to an end, to face The End."


"I only wish that everyone can carry their love, be filled with courage, without regret, and wholeheartedly walk toward their own end."


Lifting the Black Hole, Ian arrived beside this Gaseous Giant Star, the second-largest in Terra after the Sixth Planet, Deus. Like Deus, it has the potential to evolve into a brown dwarf.
