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

It must be said that this was a possibility Russell had not anticipated.


As a "Hero" and a member of the company's Special Execution Department, Russell's perspective was perfectly aligned with his identity.


Especially after witnessing Glass's death firsthand... when Russell saw Snow's death, he subconsciously thought about whether it was similar to Glass's incident. Therefore, he began trying to find the real perpetrator behind the scenes and to uncover the hidden conspiracy and tricks in this event.


Eventually, it seemed like he had found something.


Heaven Delivery, Hero Club, Cold Water, Emperor... these events had already formed a line. With a bit of reasoning, it seemed possible to complete a nice loop.


—That is, Cold Water was promoted to Chief, then immediately attacked, and actually, the real target of the mastermind behind the scenes was the Emperor.
