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.

Call to the Capital
"Boss, you really shouldn't touch the kitchen," Neo sighed when he saw the two of them in the morning.
"It's my kitchen."
Neo opened his mouth. He truly wanted to tell Kevin that it would be fine if he got inside, but please don't break the utensil. He was shocked speechless when he found the utensil in horrible condition. Many of them broke and the only one who has the strength to break them easily were only Kevin and Patrick.
"I'll help to clean up if it's necessary," Kanae offered.
Neo shook his head. "There's no need."
He chose to sit down on his chair with a complicated expression. It was already hard enough for him to accept that they used the kitchen like that. Knowing Kanae, she wouldn't be able to clean the kitchen properly.
For the sake of kitchen's safety, they shouldn't go in!
"Boss, there's a new mail from A company," Neo informed not long after he opened his laptop and started working.
"You handle it."
