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.

Fiore Group Last Meeting Together
Kanae's House
The small house that Patrick provided her proved to be more than enough for Kanae. Since she had gotten used to living in a narrow room thanks to her uncle's annoying intervention, this small and comfortable house was very suitable for her.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
"Yes, who is it?" Kanae picked it up almost immediately.
"Captain…"
"Tom?"
"Yes," Tommy's voice sounded tired and lifeless. It seemed as if he had just gone through a life and death situation.
Kanae straightened her posture as she heard the sound of someone else picking up the call. It was the phone call for their group, one that she hadn't used for some time already.
"Tom? Rei? Why are you calling so suddenly?" Jason's voice entered the communication line. His voice also sounded tired as he must be busy with his work as Well Family Perfect Successor.
"Tom."
"Uh, Captain, I need help."
"What help?"
