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.

Forced Battle
In the building, Kevin and Patrick continued their journey. Patrick eyed Kevin confusedly. Ever since he got into the room to check on the two people, his nephew seemed off. It was not like his skill deteriorated, but it looked like something bothered him to no end.
"Brat, do you find her in the camera?"
Kevin shook his head. His eyes narrowed when a monster leaped up to them. Slightly changing his course, he moved sideways and cut the monster into half. Right after that, he continued his run without paying any attention to the one he cut.
"Why does your face look extremely scary?"
"It's nothing," Kevin replied. He just felt that Iris's words rang loudly in his ears. Even though he wanted to meet with Kanae again as fast as possible, if meeting her meant her death then he wouldn't want it to happen. What he wanted the most was her safety and moreover, her happiness.
