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

The next moment, Sal's sigh could be heard from afar.


As his words spoke, the rotation of the wheel slowed once more, until it came to a complete halt.


It was then that Russell finally remembered why the turning wheel looked so familiar to him...


The spinning wheel was just like an "eye" caught in a slumber!


Not long after Sal's voice fell, the wheel finally disintegrated.


One by one, the skulls began to detach from the still wheel, whistling down like shards of sand.


The skulls, like a meteor shower, fell amidst the cries of panic from the people below.


At last, Russell realized what he could do.


He patted Lin Qin vigorously and called out loudly.


"We'll stop them—the debris from this height could kill many!"


The skulls had previously been suspended thousands of meters high in the sky.


From such a height, the falling skulls could easily claim lives—even splinters of bone might prove fatal.
