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.

Cleaning Up
Somewhere Far Away
"The plan fails, he's dead," the receiver suddenly sounded out. Besides the small device, a man was sitting calmly. From the message, he knew that his plan to eliminate Kevin had failed. However, he stayed calm as he had already expected that Kevin might be able to get out alive.
"How's is his condition?"
"Clan Head is wounded hard, but he's summoning all of us to the hall. What do you think he will do?"
The young man narrowed his eyes. The cold glint behind his dark iris caused the people around him to tense up. Although they have been following after this man for quite some time, they were still afraid of his change of mood. Whenever his eyes showed cold glints like that, someone was bound to die.
"Destroy the device, Neo can trace back to us if you don't," the young man answered. "Also, if you try to report about our movement, your entire family will follow your steps."
