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

Before, Russell had been merely protecting Cold Water while casually investigating whether this incident really had any connection to history.


If it did have a real historical relevance, he would have to call upon Deer Head and Bad Day, intervening as the "Hairdresser."


Russell hadn't even uncovered anything yet. He had barely stepped out the door when he was senselessly ambushed and his friend was injured, winding up in the hospital.


Now, this matter was directly related to him.


[From this point, you can't say they've done nothing—they've at least irritated you, haven't they?]


God's container watched the commotion with keen interest:


[Maybe it's another group of people... Their goal is to infuriate you, perhaps?]


"Then I can only say, they've succeeded," he said.


Russell narrowed his eyes, "Whether it's one group or two, whether someone is impatient or just stoking the fire, we will catch them all together."
