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

The Mammon incident from days past caused severe internal strife on God Communication Island.


The white-haired people harbored a faint animosity towards other islanders—because their ancestors had ignored it all and had not extended a helping hand, they were born indifferent, with familial affection as cold as water.


And these white-haired people would band together, causing further discontent among the islanders with different hair colors.


Although a small portion of the white-haired people had ancestors among the voluntarily sacrificed "Four Thousand Warriors," more of them were descendants of Inferiors who had hoarded Mammon's gold coins, leading to their families' and neighbors' pallid transformations. They had not made any sacrifices but still blamed others.
