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 402 – Jump

Nick took a deep breath.

 

He had never jumped over the gap before.

 

Naturally, jumping over the gap meant jumping over the 1 to 1.5 kilometers between the city's edge and the outside world.

 

A very athletic Initial Veteran could accomplish that, but it was extremely risky.

 

Extractors were allowed to leave the city in this way, but they had to get permission from a city captain before doing so.

 

However, while jumping out of the city was okay, jumping into the city was forbidden.

 

The main reason was that, with closed eyes, the Extractor wouldn't be able to properly control their fall, which would result in people dying and houses getting destroyed.

 

The northern part of the city was nearly as close to the outside world as the southern part, which was the closest.

 

Ignoring the bridge, the southern part of the city was only about a kilometer away from the outside world.
