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.

Battle in Ryukalin Clan (2)
After Patrick finished saying his words, he stomped on the ground and dashed straight towards Ayres, the bulky man. Seeing Patrick's movement, Ayres swiftly took out his sword and blocked the incoming spear. The metal clashed with one another, giving resounding sounds to the rest of them.
Yet, it was not finished.
Ayres pushed Patrick back using his sword, but Patrick had moved his spear in a circular movement before thrusting forward once again. He aimed for the heart of the man, yet Ayres blocked it.
His face green in anger at the obvious target Patrick showed to him. "Don't you kidding me!"
Kicking the spear from below, he sprang forward. Spear user's weakness was always close distance, so he hoped to reach Patrick before he could recover from the attack.
