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 522 – Establishing Authority

"What is this new system?" Jornis asked with a dark tone.

 

Nick looked at Jornis without fear.

 

"From now on, voluntary blood donations will be replaced by mandatory blood donations," Nick said.

 

When Jornis and Vanessa heard that, they were positively surprised.

 

That was good, right?

 

"A powerful city is not supposed to rely on its weakest members to give it stability," Nick said. "Everyone has to contribute to a powerful city."

 

"The minimum monthly tax will be lowered from 120 credits to 40 credits. Payment via blood is no longer an acceptable replacement for the tax. Everyone has to pay the taxes via credits."

 

"Additionally, the tax-free age range will be increased to 16. Anyone below 16 years of age is exempt from taxes."

 

"Okay," Vanessa said with furrowed brows. "And how is the city supposed to pay its tribute to Aegis without that?"
