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 just kept thinking about telling Aria about his power.

'I just have to tell them,' Nick repeated inside his mind.

'If you tell them, everything you have done will be repaid.'

Nick started to grit his teeth, and Aria kept looking at him with a contrasting mixture of understanding and disgust.

On the one hand, she could understand that Nick was completely beside himself since a Fallen had said that Nick was its target.

But on the other hand, Nick had been working with Specters for years, and he was even a Chief Zephyx Extractor.

Someone in such a position should be able to distinguish between rational and irrational fear.

Obviously, Envy wasn't targeting Nick. After all, he was only a John.

Aria expected that someone like a Chief Zephyx Extractor would be able to keep their cool in this situation.
