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 396 – The Talker

"It's like a big greyish-white stone. Usually, you can see a couple of guards standing around it."

 

"Huh, why are guards standing around the Rust Lick?" Jayjay asked.

 

"It's because salt is necessary to survive, and the people of the Outer City often forget to consume enough salt. People in the Inner City have a lot of added salt in their food, but people in the Outer City don't."

 

"Why don't they use salt in their food? I heard it tastes good," Jayjay asked.

 

"Mostly money problems. Salt is expensive."

 

"Why's the salt so expensive?" Jayjay asked.

 

Nick felt like it was hard to focus his eyes, and he often saw his vision becoming blurry.

 

How long had he been at this?

 

He didn't know.

 

He had set the timer to eight hours before entering, and since the alarm hadn't rung yet, Nick couldn't have been here for longer than eight hours.
