Not praying for ten strings

In a world dominated by seven super-corporations, the Longevity Species that always occupied the pinnacle of power didn't allow for the enactment of written laws. The Floating Islands of prisons delimited by lines on the map, where resources would inevitably run out in the future...
People yearned for the birth of a true "Hero," yet they cynically awaited the fall of a Hero from grace.
As long as one was hailed by the media as a Hero, even murder could be forgiven, and every word they said would be adored. Even high and mighty Elves dared not provoke the edge of a Hero.
But if a Hero of the past committed even a minor offense, the moment their image crumbled, the forgiven sins would flare up like an inextinguishable furnace, and the stars of yesterday would instantly become unforgivable criminals...
"—Come become a Hero, Russell."
The most vicious criminal in the world thrust a knife into the boy's hand, whispering a low enticement.

Tower of Overturn

Mages were not the ancient name for Spiritual Energy Users. In the past, there was no such thing as a Spiritual Energy User.


Because Spiritual Energy Users are actually a man-made creation.


The true meaning of this chip is not "Spiritual Firewall," but "Spiritual Vaccine."


Once you wear it for more than three years, it will cut off the ability to enter the sea of the Group Subconscious—the ability to reach the "Initial Wilderness."


That is to say, anyone who has worn the chip during their growth will have their innate talent as a mage eradicated.


This is to prevent those mages, full of hatred, resentment, and pain, who have gone completely insane in the war, from reaching out again to the Floating Island where "no mages exist anymore."


After all, the awakening of mages came too early.
