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.

Fiancée
Many more people started to come into the hall. Kanae finally noticed another person she recognized: Alice.
At this time, the Alice she saw was completely different compared with the one she used to know. Alice was wearing a finely red dress embodied with gold vines engraving. The style was such that it perfectly complimented Alice's body, making her looked far more attractive than usual. Compiled with her extraordinarily beautiful doll-like appearance, she was exceptionally stunning.
A gentle smile was plastered on her face as she stood behind a big man. Seeing how the man was respected all over, it was clear that Alice's status in the clan was rather big.
This time, Alice didn't act like usual. She put on a gentle front and refused the advance of the youngster around her gracefully. One might question her if she was the same person with the one they met on the daily basis. The contrast was too much.
"She's really beautiful."
