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 523 – Sharing a Life

"Why did you do that?" Aria asked after the two of them arrived back in his office.

 

"Do what?" Nick asked.

 

"Antagonize Kugelblitz," she said with annoyance. "They already got the message. You didn't need to humiliate them any further by forcing them to stay there."

 

"I already told you," Nick said. "I have no way back. Even if you didn't support me, I would have acted the same way."

 

"Why?" Aria asked with furrowed brows. "You're killing yourself!"

 

"I have to," Nick answered with annoyance. "Aegis is the only thing protecting me and the only reason why I have any authority to begin with. If I take a step back, it would be equivalent to Aegis taking a step back."

 

"Kugelblitz is not the ruler of the city. Aegis is."

 

"If I step back in such a situation, I wouldn't be any different from that coward Markus," Nick said with disgust.
