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.

It didn't take long before Laura finished her morning routine and left for school. When Kanae was no longer able to hear Laura's steps, she returned to the bed and lay down. Laura had changed the sheet to replace the previous one stained with blood.
'I'm tired.'
Kanae glanced at the clock as she wondered how long would it take for Sakura to mention her name. She believed it wouldn't be long. As she thought about it, she drifted back to sleep.
Laura quickly reached the classroom. She spotted Misae in her seat with the others around her.
"Laura, you're almost late," Misae waved her hand excitedly.
"Not really," Laura forced a smile out.
"What is it? You seem to be troubled."
