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.

I’m Sorry
Kevin could see that Megara was still looking at him with hatred, but he didn't have any intention to continue their quarrel.
"Uncle, we're already adults, so we know the boundaries."
Patrick snorted. "You say that, but you're actually talking as if you're ready to have a battle right here. Go and eat your fill. I'm not coming here just to see you fight."
"Yes."
"if you want to fight, I'll accompany you back in the clan."
"No need. I don't have any intention to spar with you, Uncle," Kevin said plainly and returned back to eating.
The elders looked at one another. They tried to switch the conversation to something else as to lighten the mood.
"Hey, do you know that my daughter has just turned 17? Are there any talented youngsters in your family?"
"Huh? You ask me but my son is just 14 years old. He's creating more and more trouble for me…."
