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?

Chapter 537 – Big Brain Slug

"I was worried sick about you!" Aria shouted inside Nick's office.

 

"Sorry," Nick answered neutrally, "but there wasn't much I could have done about that."

 

"Why did you even go on your own? Something could have happened!" Aria shouted in anger.

 

"I told you," Nick answered, his tone still neutral. "I don't want you to learn of my ability."

 

Aria took a deep breath as she kept her anger in check.

 

"Why would that be so bad?" she asked. "We're in a relationship, right? Our lives are connected, right? How is it possible that you prefer risking your life over telling your girlfriend a bit more about your life?"

 

Nick frowned. "I already told you that the secret of my ability is the biggest and most important secret I own. My ability can be relatively easily countered as long as someone knows about it. Just telling you that much is already putting me into a dangerous situation."
