The history of the world of Seerland, from the oldest Age of Chaos, to the prosperous Age of the Gods, and finally after a terrible catastrophe, the current Cloud Age was ushered in above the sea of clouds.

At the beginning of the Cloud Age, the ancient magic web collapsed, the ancient gods no longer answered the prayers of their worshippers, and overnight, both the divine and arcane spellcasters lost their powers. Until people regain their grasp of the art of casting spells through the sea of clouds, chaos and death loom over the shattered continent.

That's right.

Before the cloud era, continents were three times the size of what they are now. In the Cloud Age, only one-third of the Ancient Continent was raised to the hands of the Sea of Clouds.

The Church on the Cloud was the first to rise from the ashes. The gods of the past can no longer bestow magic on people, but the sea of clouds can. There were more and more people worshipping the sea of clouds, and soon the church on the clouds became the most powerful force on the continent.

The arcane casters didn't stop their research. The ancient demon net was shattered, but the sea of clouds could still give them the power of omnipotent arcane. Marked by the establishment of his own nation by Elrios, the greatest spellcaster of all time, the Holy See lost his authority over the nations.

Until today.

The pain of the cataclysm has been forgotten. Except for the scholars, no one cares about the truth of the past. The catastrophe is no longer history, but part of mythology, in the Holy See's hymns, in the mystical stories of the mages.

The Holy See believes that this is the severe trial that the Creator has given to the race of wisdom. He slain the ancient gods who fought for immortality, cleansed them from their sins with the Great Flood, and raised the refuge in the clouds as a place for the innocent.

Look. The majestic sea of clouds, which carries the earth and continuously provides the casters with strength...... What false god could do it but the great god who created the world itself? Isn't this miracle the best proof of his existence?

And the mages who looked for clues from the many ruins disagreed. The creation of the world on the clouds is related to a war of the gods. A powerful evil creature came from outside the world, and in the face of life and death, whether good or evil, whether it was order or chaos, the gods at that time finally let go of their prejudices against each other, and after joining forces to establish a shelter in the clouds, they started a final battle with it in order to keep the ancient evil thing out of the world.

The gods succeeded. But they never returned, leaving only the sea of clouds they created together, protecting the last people in this world.

……

One may ask: what happened to the remaining two-thirds of the ancient continent?

Then you don't need to ask, the movement back then was so big, it must have completely sunk into the water. Even if it doesn't sink completely, what is above it is definitely dead. Even if there were still a few survivors at that time, they would soon go extinct if they couldn't rely on the power of the sea of clouds.

In the final analysis, for the people who live peacefully in the Cloud Continent, whether they support the "Creation Theory" or the "Gods Theory", they are a group of chosen people. They are special and unique in the world.

And they apparently ignore that the desire to survive is so tenacious. Even if he loses his ability to cast spells, even if he has nothing left, his wisdom still struggles to overcome obstacles and open up a new place for himself to survive in a barren and broken world.

-------------------

Dimitea? Grecia heard the sound of water. The sea breeze blows in his face.

He opened his eyes.

The waves crashed against the gravel. In front of him was an endless body of turquoise water, as vast as the sea of clouds he usually saw.

For a moment, the young prince looked at everything in front of him in confusion. His fingers ran across the rough sand.

“……！”

Then he finally remembered. What happened before I fell unconscious.

"That's not a dream. How could it be ......"

The pain that he had forgotten because of his confusion came back to his heart.

The destruction of the pure white city.

The death of my father.

And at the last moment, in order to avoid the pursuit of the two legendary spellcasters, he believed the girl's words and rushed into the sea of clouds.

All the scenes are vivid.

"Hmm."

He hurriedly stood up. The "heavenly dome" hung over his waist. The "clear space" of the divine armor clanged.

It's not hell here, Dimi thought to himself. There wasn't a muscle in his body that wasn't hurting. It seems that he survived......

"Victoria?" The figure of the girl suddenly appeared in his mind. She should have fallen under the sea of clouds just like herself......

He jerked his head back. In front of me is a continuous beach, only a few lonely black-brown rocks, and where is the shadow of a girl?

Calm down, Dimi said to himself. Now is not the time to panic.

The young prince took a deep breath. He had never seen such a vast body of water. It is somewhat similar to the "Donoz Sea" of the Holy See, which is the largest inner lake in the world above the clouds.

But this piece in front of me ...... For some reason, it feels even more boundless.

Then Dimi understood.

"Is this the real blue ocean......?"

Reacting from the initial confusion and shock, Dimi realized what the body of water was in front of him.

Ocean. It is not the sea of clouds that the inhabitants of the cloud world see every day, but the endless sea of water that is said to be located at the bottom of the sea of clouds.

With that said, Victoria's plan succeeded. ...... are you really under the clouds?

Dimi took a few steps forward. He leaned down and dipped his fingers in the water. When he saw the armor gloves, he realized that he was still wearing the divine armor "clear space". The "clear space" of the Divine Armor, which can freely change its form, remains in the heavy armor form at the moment.

As in the books, the water is salty. It seems that this is indeed the blue ocean in the record.

"Hmm." Headroom'? ”

It's too inconvenient to wear heavy armor. Dimi wanted to make it lighter, but the "Clearance" didn't listen to his orders at all, like a normal suit of armor.

"Anti-Magic Field? Not ......"

If it is not connected to the sea of clouds, the "clear space" will remain in its last form. In this land that seems to be located beneath a sea of clouds, this is also to be expected.

Dimi holds the "Sky Dome". Really. I can't sense the sea of clouds......

Dimi sighed. Fortunately, the designers of the "Clearance" took into account the situation of being locked up in the anti-magic field - the "Clearance" seems to be a single entity, but in fact it is made up of several parts linked together through a miniature magic array. If the "headroom" can't be transformed, the magic circle will also fail, allowing the user to take it off as if they were disassembling normal armor-

…… No way.

Dimi's mind recalls something more. When he rushed into the sea of clouds, he used the "Buddha-figure descending". The original clothes must have been blown up. And when the "Buddha-figure Arrival" is lifted, the "clear space" must have been completely invalidated at the last moment, and under his subconscious order, he transformed into a heavy armor form to cover the body.

Although the "headroom" can also produce a thin layer of padding, it can't be replaced......

The young prince felt a little helpless. But in the next second, with the awakening of more details in his mind, he realized something even more terrifying.

It was clear that he fell with Victoria.

If she was here, why was she nowhere to be seen?

Don't......

She fell into the sea?
