Under the Veil of Night
In the City of Crime, one law stands above them all: Only the strongest can live. Fighting is normal, extortion is common, and death is inevitable. Born into a wealthy family yet forced to live in poverty, Kanae Nali vowed to become strong enough to take back what rightfully belonged to her—even if it meant that she had to face the consequences and brave the dangers lurking in every corner. Yet on the outside, just like her mysterious peers, she was no different from the other high school students living their lives to the fullest. “Under the ray of light, my ability will only make me die faster. Under the veil of night, my ability allows me to survive longer.” ____ Story set in fictional city. Any similarities with real world's event is purely coincidence.

31 December Incident: Their Meeting with Each Other (1)
BAM!
Rolling her body, she managed to avoid the car. Pain enveloped her entire body and spurred her tears to flow out like rivers. Through her blurry sight, she saw her parents dying and the man they talked with disappearing in the crowd.
'Mom.... Dad.....'
Propping her body up, she forced herself to stand up again. It was so painful—both her body and heart were filled with pain, and it threatened to tear her apart.
Bang!
The door of the car that nearly crashed into her suddenly opened. A boy drenched in blood stepped out. His expression was stern, cold, and almost expressionless. Just his aura alone made people unconsciously move back to make way for him.
Glimpsing through the opened door, Kanae saw a man slumped against the window. His pale face, painted red with blood, showed that the man was already dead. It was ghastly and unsightly.
