Most life forms, even if they live their entire lives, cannot compare to the fleeting brilliance of a star. No matter how great a civilization or nation may be, it is nothing more than a momentary glimmer of light under the stars. But what if even the starlight dims? In this dark night when the stars have disappeared, only the flames on the earth burn. But there will always be those who choose to look up at the dark starry sky rather than gaze at the dazzling light above the earth. Then, try to reach for the highest heavens. "I don't care at all how people in this world live, whether they have enough to eat, whether they can stay warm and have good housing, or whether they have dreams and hopes. I don't care about their likes and dislikes." "I only want to go to the highest heavens." —Ian. The prisoners looked out of the window of fate, and most of them stared at the earth. Only one person is gazing up at the stars. The protagonist is a prophet, so there won't be any pointless or frustrating battles of wits. That's not the focus of the story. Readers looking for setbacks and conflicts instead of a smooth progression might be disappointed, hence this advance notice.
