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.

Broken Spirit
Wandering under the heavy downpour, Patrick made his way to the forest. The fight lasted for a long time, so it was already late at night. The chilly wind slapped his cheek continuously, as if preventing him from moving forward.
Patrick dragged his body. Even though he didn't seem to sustain any wound, he was actually extremely tired. He might be an awakened person, but he was still rather lacking because he didn't awaken his ability at the right time. The only advantage he had was his larger strength that he used to the best of his ability.
'They shouldn't have gone too far.'
He didn't know how much time had passed when he reached the edge of the forest. Seeing the leveled ground, he knew right away that there was a fight happening in this place. It was not hard to guess that someone extremely powerful must have fought someone equally powerful.
