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 378 – The Envious Researcher

"How come?" Julian asked, a curious expression on his face.

 

"It's not exactly a secret why, but it's better if the people don't know about this," the governor said. "The less the people know about Adversaries, the less fear they feel."

 

Nick furrowed his brows.

 

So, an Adversary was involved.

 

"The Envious Researcher is one of the Adversaries that opposes humanity," the governor said. "Aegis is not certain if it has a personal vendetta against humanity or if its way of becoming more powerful inherently makes it humanity's enemy."

 

"While the Envious Researcher is not responsible for many deaths, its impact on humanity is probably amongst the greatest out of all the Adversaries."

 

The governor looked forward with severity, but his eyes were not focused on anything in particular.

 

"Whenever a significant advancement in technology is produced, the Envious Researcher gets attracted."
