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.

End of the Battle with Merion Clan
Kanae frowned when she saw that Randy was trying to run away. She twisted her body, but felt tremendous pain on her ankle, stopping her movement momentarily. Because she was making a sharp movement, the force that her feet bore was far bigger than how it was before.
"Rei, are you alright?" Kevin's breathing was quite rough. The journey to reach this place was not easy for them at all.
Kanae nodded her head. Now that she stood quietly on her place, she realized that she was also feeling very tired. Her body was simply screaming for rest as every ounce of her muscle was already pushed to the extreme from the run she had before.
Kevin's gaze landed on her swollen feet. Due to her forcing herself running even when it was hurting so much, the swollen has grown bigger. Even an idiot would know that it must be very painful.
