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

And the style and sins of Mental Heavy Industry were completely different.


If the original sin of Mental Heavy Industry was greed, then that of Thoth Spiritual Energy was arrogance—


Not only did they divide people into four distinct power strata with that triple sun disc, but from the situation represented by Lin Qin, it was clear that Thoth Spiritual Energy did not care much about human rights either.


Other Sky Island Spiritual Energy Users were either criminals, heroes, or the white gloves of the Execution Department. However, their status was at least not considered low, no matter what.


But on Sun Island, under the jurisdiction of Thoth Spiritual Energy where Spiritual Energy Users were most familiar to the public, once the mystique of their halo was stripped away, they became expendable tools.
