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.

Kevin looked towards the paper on Neo's hand with a calm expression. "They're the first one to come?"
"It appears to be so," Neo answered. "Do you want me to do a clean checkup to the people who already arrived on the island?"
"There's no need for that. I'm sure that more people will come here soon," Kevin answered calmly.
Neo nodded his head. There were a lot of extraordinary fighters who accepted the mission, so he would not feel surprised if they came here one by one. Although there were many mediocre people too, the experts numbered quite a lot.
"Boss, your quest has come," Mike informed.
"Let her in."
"Yes, Boss."

Finishing the talk with Jason, Kanae closed her special phone again. She turned her head to the bathroom as she walked inside. Looking at her appearance in the mirror, she nearly laughed once again. It was not her real appearance as she didn't dare to come with her real face.
