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.

Kill the Sun

Nick walked towards the Dregs while three of the guards kept following him.

Two of the guards were rather tall and wore black uniforms, similar to the uniforms of the tax collectors, but without the gas masks.

The entire gas mask thing for the tax collectors mainly existed to keep their identities secret and so that they didn't need to smell the disgusting Dregs.

Normal guards didn't wear gas masks.

But right now, they wish they did.

As soon as they walked into the Dregs, the faces of the two guards behind Nick scrunched up while the third guard far behind them just sneered in disgust.

The Outer City had a solid wall of metal between itself and the sewers, but the Dregs were mostly built on rusty grates.

One could imagine how bad it smelled to walk over something like the sewers of Crimson Fungus City.
