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.

The Ryukalin Clan Headquarters
The Old Man was looking at his son with bewilderment. From what he remembered, Neo hated physical training the most. What made this boy change his mind and follow Mike's training regimen? Everyone knew how intense Mike's training was.
"Neo, did you hit your head somewhere?"
Neo rolled his eyes as he laid on the ground. "Is that the first question you should ask, Old Man? I'm dead tired over here."
"Nope, you can still shout just fine."
"…" are you really my father?
On the side, Ryan watched their interaction with amusement. These two were extremely funny. Even if they were father and son, they barely had those kinds of moments as they usually argued a lot, acting more like friends.
The Old Man sat down on the chair. "Did you perhaps make Clan Head angry? You should know better than to test his patience."
