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.

With his trained body, Jason didn't find it hard to cross the pool using the hose. Tommy hid among the pile of boxes as the other two reached the other end of the floor.
"The hook you made is quite firm," Jason tested the hose once again.
Kanae nodded. "We're quite lucky that this place has suffered barely any damage."
"If the people before us didn't use our method, how did they cross the pool?"
Looking down towards the pool below, it would be quite amazing if anyone managed to get past it. After all, the deadly acid nearly killed them just now. Anyone who dared to attempt crossing the pool without proper equipment would only meet with death.
Kanae looked towards the pool for a few seconds. "I have a guess, but I'm not sure if I should say it."
"Why?"
Kanae looked into Jason's eyes, "Because it's very cruel and inhumane."
