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

Although the godfather had assigned tasks for the Strangulation and the Inferiors... or let's say "Silence," these tasks were not likely to show immediate results.


Things were somewhat better on Strangulation's side.


He was very familiar with the entire Lower City District, and being a Mechanic was indeed a rare talent there—being able to remotely control heavy trucks without detection demonstrated a certain level of skill.


To put it bluntly, a Mechanic who could drive a heavy truck out of a convoy would never be unemployed.


Any industrial company has freight needs. A Mechanic who could alone manage seven or eight heavy trucks rampaging through the entire Upper City District could meet the freight needs of a company alone. Though it may seem that the job is merely about driving, it is undoubtedly a position requiring high-end technical expertise.


This kind of Mechanic used the "public network" ubiquitous in the Upper City District for their operations.
