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.

There are a lot of Magical Beasts on the Golden Plains, with numerous nests of magical beasts settling only in the local Abyssal Hole ecosystem. Due to the complex terrain, large-scale development is challenging, so most resource extraction is conducted by smaller township units like Knight Manors.


Karma Knight's Domain is one of the oldest Knight Manors in the Golden Plains' history. It once flourished because two Mithril mines were discovered in the nearby caves, making it one of the region's wealthiest domains.


Knight Karma is exceptionally strong. His private armed forces are comparable to those of official Imperial Nobility, consisting of experienced warriors from combat with Magical Beasts on the Golden Plains. His castle is a small fortress considered a "safe" landmark by travelers.


But now, this fortress has encountered an enemy it absolutely cannot withstand.


The Demonic Army of the Fiery Flame Land.
