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: Second Mountain of Rubble
"Tom, are you alright?" Jason asked as he propped the boy up.
Tommy groaned because he could feel pain all over his body. He shook his head with sweat beading on his forehead.
"It's painful. I don't want to continue anymore."
"We're already this far, are you sure you want to go back like this?"
Tommy's body tensed up when he heard Jason's cold tone. It was his own decision to come here. He couldn't show his weak side.
Closing his eyes for a moment, he collected his thoughts before glaring at Jason. "I'm wounded and you ask me if I'm alright?"
"You can still be angry, so you should be fine," Jason remarked.
"Hey, are you two alright?" Kanae asked as she approached the two of them.
"Yep."
"No worries, Captain."
Seeing that the two of them responded normally, Kanae no longer paid much attention. She opened her bag and took out the first-aid kit. "Let's stop the bleeding first."
"What about Celeste?"
