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

After neutralizing the threat brought by Tovatus, Russell immediately notified Miss Cold Water.


Miss Cold Water trusted Russell completely and never considered the possibility "What if Russell was just comforting herself?" The day after Russell said he had resolved everything, she visited Russell to express her sincere and respectful gratitude.


Though Russell didn't care much about such things... the feeling of truly having helped someone and being earnestly thanked for it was quite nice.


On August 7th, another Saturday spent slacking off and playing games in the office while earning triple overtime pay.


In the office of the Special Execution Department, where only Russell and Cui Que remained, an unexpected visitor appeared.
