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

Russell did not wake Mr. Otter, who had drunk himself into sleep and quietly left the research institute on his own.


The floating car that had brought him and Mr. Otter here was still parked at the door. It carried Russell and took him to the hotel arranged by God Communication Island.


It was the Tartaros Hotel in Zone G3, reputed to be the most luxurious high-rise hotel on God Communication Island.


An ominous-sounding place to Russell—the name "Tartaros" was Hell in Greek mythology. Of course, in the language of this era, such connotations did not exist.


There was no mythology widely known among the people in this world. Though what it was like in the era on earth, by the time of the Sky Island era, the Seven Great Sky Islands had long since unified the language.
