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.

Confession
"Misae," Mike called the girl, but Misae already ran upstairs. He ran towards the direction of the girl and nearly pulled Tara's hand off with his strength. If not because of Tara's quick reaction speed, his hand would be hurt badly.
"That tank is truly ferocious," Tara sighed as he massaged his arm. Comparing Mike with a tank was not an exaggeration in his opinion. His arm still hurt slightly because of Mike's sudden movement even though he managed to move it in time.
Neo rolled his eyes. "That's retribution for trying to make her jealous."
"Well, considering how these two have been trying to conceal their feelings for each other, I doubt they're going to say anything if I leave them alone. Escalating their feelings is very interesting."
Towards this man's peculiar hobby, Neo chose not to comment on anything. He knew that Tara loved to see lovers' quarrels. Most of the time, they would reunite back, but in some cases, Tara's action just made them drift apart further.
