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.

Clash of Groups: Red Pool of Blood
Even though Tommy was hesitant, he still followed the others to the next floor. By now, he had learned to ignore the pain in his thigh. It still hurt, but it only made him walk slower. He didn't want to rely on Jason too much to move around anymore.
On the 20th floor, they didn't see any monsters, but only a large swimming pool in the middle of the room. In addition, the next floor above was a mezzanine, with a balcony that overlooked the pool below
"The pool is incredibly red," Tommy gulped when he saw the sight in front of him.
The pool that opened up in front of them was bright red in color. It looked scary rather than inviting.
"I can't swim either," Kanae's face was ugly.
"You want to swim across?"
"No, but even if it's clean, I can't swim."
Jason smiled wryly. "Why don't you think of a way to get across?"
"Can't you think on my behalf?" Kanae grinned.
