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...

The most vicious criminal in the world thrust a knife into the boy's hand, whispering a low enticement.

Russell glanced at Number 44, who appeared no older than twenty, and hesitated before asking, "May I be so bold to ask... Miss Number 44, how old are you this year..."


Number 44 answered calmly, "Tartaros was completed less than ten years ago, which is why it is the pride of the people of God Communication Island."


Is it really the pride of the people of God Communication Island?


Russell paused for a moment, didn't pursue the question, but instead smiled and said, "You do seem very young... what is your name?"


"I don't have a name; I am only Number 44.


"As for my appearance – all of us who work at Tartaros must have our Prosthetic Body conversion rates exceed 83%. The skin I am using now is synthetic artificial skin fitted after removing my natural skin, and it does not age as I grow older."
