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

Russell had to go to work as usual after waking up from the Dream Realm.


Originally, he had thought about simply taking a day off, but Cui Que sent a message—there was an emergency task in the morning.


Of course, it wasn't the kind of task that required combat. Instead, it was a job that required Russell to show his face.


In theory, Russell's original job should have been the preliminary investigation of "suspected Demons."


However, the previous attack under the Curtain of Ignorance had frightened both Inferior and Cui Que.


In their view, although Russell could be said to have made a great contribution this time... it was still very dangerous.


It would be better to reverse the roles—let Inferior handle the investigation and tasks, and have Russell serve as the rescue team. Russell's abilities and personality were not factored into the other side's calculations, which made him somewhat safer.


But Tianen Group couldn't afford to keep idle employees.
