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

This wasn't the kind of heavy, oppressing anger that Russell usually harbored alone and in silence...


It was Fury that burst forth in a flash when the person he loved was truly threatened!


merely a simple and pure roar, like the rage of a lion.


It surged violently, like molten gold crashing down heavily, splattering in all directions—


From the formless flames extended sinister claws made of dark red fire, reaching for the Grafting Lovers!


Like the most elite spearmen, the vines beneath it transformed into long spears, striking at the fireball just as they had pierced Alice's body!


In an instant, there were more than thirty strikes.


They effortlessly shattered the flame-formed claws and penetrated the fireball.


Their force did not stop there, but rather continued on, piercing through the opposite wall—and even through three layers of walls, going straight to the outside of the house!
