He isn't greedy, isn't lustful, and has none of the other perverse vices common among outlaws. Mr. Lauren has only one passion: carrying out terrorist attacks, which he does with tireless enthusiasm.

    This book! The protagonist has an incredibly high IQ, and every character in the book is more eccentric than the last, yet all are incredibly intelligent. When they get together, it's like a team-building event in a mental hospital—not a single good person! It's really good; the low rating is because it hasn't gained much popularity. It wears a humorous, eccentric exterior, but it fully depicts the helplessness of life. The more hilarious the laughter, the more painful the tears. Every character is very realistic. The protagonist has an extremely high IQ. Is this a peaceful and happy era, where people live in peace and contentment, enjoying fulfilling lives…? A new Messiah game begins, and chaos reigns. Suspicion and scheming permeate every corner. The gods hidden behind the scenes step onto the gambling table, betting everything. Agents with differing stances also step onto the stage, driven by sinful hearts, killing gods, and then becoming victims themselves, their story ending abruptly. Here, regret is the only dominant theme.
