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

Upon hearing Russell's words, Bad Day hesitated.


He looked down at the Heavenly Disaster, shook his head, and said, "I don't think it's necessarily possible. Mammon is a perfectly hatched top-tier demon, possessing tenth-level Spiritual Energy, and even the Elf Directors have difficulty combating it.


"At that time, the Church had not yet thawed the Mechanical Angels... Even with all forces united, the victory over Mammon had come at a tremendous cost.


"To resolve this issue, even we from the Babel had been mobilized.


"I wasn't born at that time. But I also heard about this from the Deer Leader."


"...What exactly is Mammon like as a demon?"


Russell couldn't help but ask, "Is it codenamed Mammon, or is that its actual name? What exactly happened during the Pale Incident?"
