Kill the Sun

Earth, thousands of years after the apocalypse. Countless technologies and advances had been lost to time as the Specters, horrifying beings with terrifying powers, arrived and destroyed the world. Over the coming thousands of years, humanity had built itself up but always died again. Nobody remembers the past. Nobody remembers what humanity had once accomplished. Now, everyone is living in a world where the Specters reign supreme. ----- A boy with amnesia woke up in the middle of the Dregs, the worst part of Crimson Fungus City. The boy grows up and manages to become strong enough to pass an exam for one of the most prestigious jobs in existence, a Zephyx Extractor, someone that can harvest the powers of Specters. Sadly, he had already gained a power from a Specter in the past, which made him ineligible for the position. But then, a mysterious man visits him. And his luck finally turns around.

Chapter 516 – Truth of the World

Nick asked for a couple of names from Aria and cross-referenced them with the black book.

 

Sure enough, none of the people were in there.

 

They were honest and followed the law.

 

"You don't seem worried," Aria commented. "What's your plan?"

 

"Do you not know?" Nick asked.

 

Aria furrowed her brows. "I wouldn't ask if I did."

 

Nick calmly stood up from his chair and walked to the door.

 

"The fact that you can't see it shows that you don't see reality," he said.

 

"Excuse me?" Aria asked with annoyance.

 

"But I don't fault you," Nick said. "You've been in this city for too long, and the only things you had to fight were companies in the market and Specters."

 

Aria became very annoyed with Nick's arrogant tone.

 

Nick was barely 34!

 

Yet, he was talking to her, an Early Hero who was almost 200 years old, like she was a child.
