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.

He recognized this person, although he had become so aged... Yet when the other spoke the Inferior's real name with such composed tone, the Inferior still recalled his identity.


He was once the director of Tianen Memory Weapon Research Institute. Long before the Inferior was born, he had been working at the Reconstruction Mechanism on research projects.


It is said that the delivery of the Inferior was conducted by the director himself—at that time, no one dared approach the "Lethal Love" who was in labor and in a Spiritual Energy rampage, except for this man who, from the very beginning, seemed like a madman who cared nothing for his own safety.
