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.

Celebration Party
The next morning, Kanae woke up because of the sound of two people quarreling not far from her residence.
"Brat! Come over here, you still have to train!"
"You're a merciless Old Man! I have other work that I have to do, let me go!"
"You can do them after training. Your muscles are too weak!"
"I don't want to train my stamina again, I'm already strong enough! Old Man!"
Carried like a sandbag, the Old Man brought Neo out of the building. Seeing the spectacle before her, Kanae truly wanted to laugh. She was still staying inside her room, but from the window she could see the two people quarreled with one another.
"That's already very common in here," Patrick yawned as he opened the door and walked inside nonchalantly.
"Senior Pat, has no one teach you that you should knock before entering a woman's room?"
