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

——The answer is an unemployment wave.


The first month angels entered the Lower City District, prices almost universally rose by thirty percent.


This price increase is terrifying... but if it could be immediately reduced, enduring one month wouldn't be too much of a problem.


But the issue is, it won't drop in the short term.


Resource scarcity will continue and become the norm. Subsequent price increases may not be as steep, but they will be persistent.


If there's a thirty percent increase in the first month, and even if it's just ten percent the next, that will be enough to overwhelm some families.


Even if Tianen Group has already managed to react this month, starting to allocate resources from other Sky Islands... the Seven Giants are not a united front.
