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
Standing near the gate was a young man. He was dressed up in rather formal clothes. He looked at the mess in front of him uncaringly.
"Megara, since he's still alive, you have failed in your mission."
Megara's face contorted in displeasure. He knew that he had lost because his greatest task was to make sure that Kevin didn't come. Unfortunately, he failed because Kevin could still come back along with the others. From the way it looked like, Kevin didn't seem to sustain any wounds.
"We should go back," the man said calmly.
"But Jeff, we…" Ayres was about to protest, but the man called Jeff merely passed the brute man a glance. That one glance was enough to shut him off for good.
"Do you think you can come and leave as you wish?" Patrick roared and attacked Ayres again. The brute man quickly raised his sword to block the attack.
