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.

In terms of distance on a map, it was only about less than four kilometers away.


The difference lay in the fact that where Russell used to live was on the top floor of a high-rise building, in a stand-alone villa bathing in abundant sunlight.


While the location given by the Monkey-faced Eagle was closer to the ground—a second floor, to be specific.


As Russell exited the floating car, he subconsciously looked up at the sky.
