In a charming medieval world, there lived a 19-year-old girl with eyes as blue and deep as the skies themselves. Her name was Lina, and her greatest fascination was the heavens—not just one, but five distinct skies:
Blue, Pink, White, Green, and Black.
One night, guided by curiosity and a dreamer's heart, Lina wandered to the edge of her village, far from the stone walls and glowing lanterns, simply to gaze at the skies in all their splendor.
"They're so beautiful…" she whispered, smiling softly at the stars above.
But then… a brilliant and magical light illuminated the sky. The five colors began to swirl and merge, forming a radiance so intense that Lina could hardly bear it.
And in a flash, everything went dark.
"W-what's… happening…?" she murmured, just before collapsing.
Lina awoke in a field of lush green grass, soft as velvet.
The skies were still there—but different now… even more vivid, more breathtaking.
She blinked, confused.
"What was that...? Why did the skies shine like that…?"
Slowly rising to her feet, Lina looked around, utterly enchanted.
"This place… it's beautiful. So beautiful…"
But her peace was short-lived. Two small creatures emerged from the bushes—globins, armed with tiny swords and axes, marching right toward her.
Still dazed, Lina stepped back.
"Oh… heavens…"
The creatures charged at her.
Suddenly, a translucent panel appeared in front of her:
> [System of the Five Skies: Hello, Lina. Activate now?]
Lina nodded, eyes sparkling with hope.
"Yes!"
> [System of the Five Skies: Activating… Sending temporary sword: Blue.]
A shimmering blue sword materialized before her, glowing with energy. Lina gripped the blade with determination, feeling a warm courage rise in her chest.
"Alright then!"
A soft blue aura surrounded her body.
The globins, seeing this, hesitated. Their weapons fell to the ground—and, overwhelmed by fear, they began to retreat.
But Lina didn't waste the moment. She dashed toward them.
"I've got you now!"
With a graceful leap and spin, Lina sliced through both globins at once. She landed gently, stunned by her own action.
"Wh-what did I just do…?"
> [System of the Five Skies: Congratulations! 10 skill points acquired. Pink Aura unlocked: Pre-Blue Sky.]
Lina stared at the panel, confused.
"Points...? Blue Sky…?"
A flash exploded in her mind. She saw the skies merging… the light that engulfed her… her head ached, and she dropped to her knees.
"Ah… I remember now…"
> [System of the Five Skies: Would you like to distribute the 10 skill points?]

Content, Lina picked up her blue sword again and lay beneath the shade of a nearby tree. She gazed at the skies—now more beautiful than ever—and smiled.
"…Thank you."
