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

Amirus's two short sentences contained an immense amount of information.


He openly spoke about the "Destiny" of the Inheriting Name Elf and even mentioned his own age, the identity of "Amirus II," and his own lifespan;


In his words, he also revealed secrets about the "Zero Year."


He even hinted at when the prone-spiritual disease appeared...


The Old Elf spoke these words without any warning and hadn't even asked "Russell" if he wanted to know this matter.


Although his face always bore a kind expression and his eyes were as gentle as jade, his speech and demeanor were filled with goodwill and tolerance.


However, God's container wouldn't consider him to be some widely seen embodiment of goodness.


An Old Elf who had lived for over a thousand years, even by Elf standards of kindness, contained something inside his shell that was fundamentally different from Mortals.
