floating hourglass

All humans on Blue Star descended to a world without land, where the sky is filled with floating islands. Everyone must choose a profession, start anew here, and strive to survive! Han Xing, who just entered the game, unexpectedly activated the only hidden SSS-level talent, 'Divine-level Artisan.' "Successfully made a blunt wooden stick, Quality - Legend, Feature: Never breaks, with a 100% dizziness effect." "Successfully made a rusty iron sword, Quality - Epic, Feature: Unbreakable, with a 100% tetanus effect."

Humans of Earth were transported to the Divine Sky Realm, a world brimming with fortune and danger. In this celestial domain, humanity now dwells upon floating islands, ascending as rulers. When else will you get the chance to be a king and vie for supremacy? The system bestowed powers upon chosen individuals, granting limitless luck. Lein, an ordinary office worker, received the SSS-rank talent - Infinity Duplicate. There was nothing in this world that he couldn't duplicate, not even god-tier materials. The path to becoming the strongest lay before him. Yet, Lein knew all too well that it required a process. Even the gods needed a process to create the universe. The Divine Sky Realm offered a fantastical life that Earth's humans had always dreamed of. Soaring through the skies, shattering mountains, rising to the pinnacle in all endeavors. But humans remain humans, wherever they are, driven by their innate nature: greedy and unaware of their limits. Humans believed they were the sole inhabitants of the universe, thinking only they received the system's fortune. But reality proved otherwise. Other races in the universe were granted the same blessings, without distinction. In fact, the human physique was considered low-tier. Races like the Wood Elves, Dwarves, Goblins, Dragons, and countless others possessed bodies that defied the heavens from the outset. Could humans survive in the Divine Sky Realm? We can only hope for the best. The humans found themselves in a realm where dreams and nightmares walked hand in hand, a place where every desire and fear took form. Floating islands became their new kingdoms, a testament to their newfound power and ambition. Lein, an unremarkable man back on Earth, now wielded the power of Infinity Duplicate, a gift that could make him invincible.

The Floating Empire rules the world from above the clouds, where ancient noble bloodlines determine everything—from power and position to life and death. Beneath its shining surface lies a rigid system that eliminates anything that threatens its order, including entire families erased from history. Shin Kurogane was born into one such forgotten lineage, the Crimson Veil Clan, a family quietly monitored and slowly cornered by the Empire’s unseen authority. Orphaned at a young age and raised under constant surveillance, Shin grows up understanding one truth—his existence is not meant to last. But everything changes when he awakens the Abyss Sight, a forbidden ability that allows him to perceive the hidden structure of reality itself, revealing secrets that the Empire has spent centuries burying. With this power, Shin discovers that the so-called peace of the Floating Empire is built on deception, controlled fate, and silent purges of entire bloodlines. As the Empire brands him a dangerous anomaly, Shin is forced into a path of survival. What begins as an attempt to escape soon turns into a deeper journey—one that uncovers the truth behind the world’s hierarchy, the origin of the Abyss Sight, and the reason his clan was never meant to exist. Now hunted by the rulers of the sky, Shin must decide whether to run from destiny or reshape it entirely. But in a world where truth itself is a crime, awakening may be the greatest sin of all.
