Kill the Sun

Earth, thousands of years after the apocalypse. 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. Zephyx Extractors have the power to travel kilometers in seconds, read minds, and destroy mountains. In this oppressive world, they are the only ones who can change their destiny. Sadly, the boy had already gained a power from a Specter in the past, which made him ineligible for the position. His dream was dead. Or was it?

Nick wasn't entirely sure if this was truly just a coincidence.

 

After all, getting the most powerful card immediately seemed quite unlikely.

 

'Is he trying to lure me into betting with information?' Nick thought as he looked at the Gambler.

 

"Is this a trick?" Nick asked.

 

"I can't break the rules or use any sort of trick," the Gambler said. "If I use a trick, I can't produce Zephyx."

 

"It's just bad luck," the Gambler added with a chuckle. "Also, if you're talking about the card, that one would've shown up at some point anyway. It just would've taken more rounds."

 

Nick's suspicions lessened but didn't completely vanish.

 

"Let's continue," Nick said, taking out a piece of the pile of credits.

 

"Certainly," the Gambler said, putting the piece to the side. "Is there any specific kind of game you want to play?"

 

"The same game again," Nick said.
