If one paid the tax, nothing would happen, but if one failed to pay the tax, they would need to pay with their blood.

Ah nope sorry didn't read the next paragraph yet
And when someone was suicidal or depressed, one of the rats would walk out and try to convince that person to kill themselves.

Or before the memory wipe?
To Nick, it had been like he had never seen any Specters, which meant that the Specters had been either invisible or mixed among the crowd of people.

Welp guess we know what "saying it" as a way of suicide means
If anyone in the world uttered something akin to "I wish I were dead," "I want to die," "Just kill me," "I don't want to live anymore," or anything similar to that, Nurse Alice would appear and grant that wish.

What? But if they take the Zephyx, how is there still Prephyx being released? Is there that much that is still being converted?

E = MC Squared
Wyntor just snorted. "That's a copout answer. You can say everything is energy, and you wouldn't be wrong."

Zephyx: energy Zephyx Manufracturer: People who get Zephyx Zephyx Extractor: People employed by the manufracturers who get the Zephx for the manufacturers, has powers through using Specters Specter - Monsters that I'm assuming Extractors kill to extract Zephyx from, also source of Extractors' powers (like demons from Chainsaw Man?) Zephyx Synchroniser: The thing that gives Extractors powers

"no education", hence not very literate
"No… Noon… disc-low-sure agree… ment? Noon disclowsure agreement? What's that?" Nick asked.

XD love that little treacherous shadow!
Nick frowned, confused why Wyntor wanted them to hold hands and then suddenly not, but he still let go of Wyntor's fingers.

Nice deal! Boy gets to not get robbed homeless by the gang, and MC gets house rent free
Naturally, the gangs wanted to take the house from the kid, but Nick went between the two sides and protected the kid.

I mean maybe he does? Like a contractor thing where occasionally people hire him out. And maybe using his powers is physically straining enough to qualofy for the exercise part of developing muscles... Agree with you on how he's so tall + muscly without food though, maybe something to do with the <10yo memory loss he's got going on
Nick trusted Albert, and he was sure that Albert wouldn't have told him to make himself noticeable if there were no point to it.

Energy?
It could be transformed into electricity, heat, movement, and so on, and it was extremely efficient at it.

A disease?
In contrast to nearly all powerful Specters, the Crimson Fungus was not intelligent.
Fantasy · Warmaisach
Ah, at least there's an explanation for that name. Stillllll an atrocity though
Crimson Fungus City was named after the strongest Specter that was being confined inside the most prestigious Zephyx Manufacturer, the Crimson Fungus.

I'm guessing it's more like "does not kill on sight" kind of help?
The Blood Mosquito was one of them.
Fantasy · Warmaisach
huh... With how blood is so valuable and everything, how do women deal with periods? Can they collect it and sell it/use it pay tax? How fresh does the blood need to be? Does it have to be from mosquitos? Kinda gross but blood for the blood god. If not such a waste of precious blood 😭, and even more likely to get iron deficiency & anemia
If one paid the tax, nothing would happen, but if one failed to pay the tax, they would need to pay with their blood.

Would it be though? Sounds like at least some kind of widespread warfare and pollution went on, might be but radiation lasts a while. Agree with nighmare creatures probably making a whole another set of problems
Of course, life persisted. Some trees and plants were still clinging to life. Large mammals mostly went extinct, but a few species of animals and insects had managed to adapt. However, the damage to most ecosystems was too severe. The earth turned barren, the water turned poisonous, and even the air itself was not safe to breathe anymore.
