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 416 – Welcome to Dark Dream!

Nick had shown that he had prepared the contract in advance on purpose.

 

The purpose was to intimidate Irwin.

 

Naturally, Irwin realized that everything had been prepared beforehand and that Nick had expected him to come, asking for forgiveness.

 

While Irwin would be extremely loyal due to his own guilt, that didn't necessarily mean that he viewed Nick as superior.

 

Because of that, Nick wanted to intimidate him.

 

Feeling predictable equaled feeling vulnerable.

 

Humans put a lot of value on their free will.

 

Free will meant freedom and being able to make one's own choices.

 

However, if someone could predict everything someone else did, that feeling of power vanished.

 

The way Nick had spoken had shaken Irwin's confidence even more.
