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

Taking the hymns sung by the nuns as background music, the prefrontal cortex softly explained the whole "Werewolf" incident to Russell:


"It all started when the marketing director of the Tianen Group at their Chongguang Island branch received a ransom note..."


The director, known as "No Barking," was a middle-aged man whose prone-spiritual was a grey wolf.


As an executive of the branch, he had been dispatched from Happiness Island. Unlike the intensely competitive headquarters, the competition at the branch was much more relaxed... after all, there was only one Elf Director with absolute control at the top of the branch. Although there were so-called "executive directors," they essentially had the same powers as a hired store manager and held no real authority.
