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.

The man with the bulging belly snorted as he barely managed to wedge his corpulent body into the sofa: "They clearly have the means to purchase firearms, but they're unwilling to manage their finances or buy insider information; they have the time and energy to cause trouble with the Fujishe lunatics, but refuse to work overtime... Uh, make sure to cut this part out before broadcasting."


The sofa at the TV station seemed far too small for the man... The couch, which would have been quite spacious for two people, now looked like it was meant for one.


It creaked and groaned, undergoing visible and horrific deformation. One might even worry whether the springs beneath would burst and impale the man sitting above them.


The host "Emperor" was already considered tall.
