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 239 – The Money Sink

"Okay," Monica said.

 

As a Specter that had lived amongst humans for quite a while, Monica was very good at gauging someone's personality.

 

Knowing how someone thought and acted made it easier to get their valuables, which was what Monica was after.

 

In her mind, Nick was someone who stood by his principles.

 

Someone like him either didn't like lying or was horrible at it.

 

Her instincts told her that Nick was honest.

 

Well, as honest as humans came.

 

"Good to hear," Nick said. "So, how can we improve your power?"

 

Nick usually needed to try stuff until he found the optimal way to work with a Specter.

 

But with Monica, he could just ask.

 

"Valuables," Monica said. "Anything that humans consider valuable, I can consume to become stronger."

 

"Can you give me some examples?" Nick asked politely.
