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

"Listen, both of you... I've changed my mind."


The godfather leaned forward, his fingers interlocked on the table.


He spoke in a gentle voice, "I have a task for which I need your help."


It wasn't just a conversation with Strangulation, it also included the Inferiors standing behind him.


Strangulation had no objections. He simply patted the seat beside him without turning his head and said:


The godfather knew that this was not Strangulation warming up to the Inferior... on the contrary, it was him starting to be wary of the Inferior.


Strangulation's personality was like that of a lion king. He was the type to go to great lengths to protect the weak but would not allow anyone to defy him.


When dealing with the weak within the group, he was the most just ruler and the best elder brother.


When faced with strong outsiders, he could grit his teeth and hold out till the end, never retreating nor submitting.
