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.

The moment he took out his gun, Tommy stepped inside and used his hand to hold the man's hand. With a swift movement, the gun was pointed to the ceiling, and he used his other hand to land a clean punch on the man's neck, instantly caused him to pass out.
"Get him!" another one shouted.
Tommy immediately shifted his balance and kicked the man in front of him. Some of the men were trying to attack him, but several others blocked their way. The situation was rather chaotic as he didn't know who were his friends or foes.
The guards all dressed the same.
BANG! PRANG!
The loud sounds from inside the room caused his steps to turn stiff instantly. He nearly got punched if not for his excellent reflex. In the next second, he quickly got away from the door as he felt that he would die if he didn't.
BREAK!
