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

This was also the name of the bomb arranged by the leader of the "Curtain of Ignorance."


Which meant, he had known from the very beginning that "Glass" harbored a death wish.


She was no longer a pawn controlled by the Curtain of Ignorance but had decided to break away from the chessboard... yet she was so powerless, she couldn't do anything.


The only choice she had was to leap to her demise.


Even if it meant becoming a Demon, she had no desire to harm others. Or rather, she was utterly tired of harming others.


One of the purposes of the leader placing that bomb was to dispose of Glass.


"The moment the cage opens, there's only freedom— or death."


These were the final words conveyed by the Inferior.


Because the Inferior was worried there might be critical information in these words, he specifically mentioned this keyword to Russell.
