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.

"Sis, eat more," Laura beckoned for her sister to eat.
Kanae smiled wryly. "Laura, I've already eaten three bowls ever since I woke up. Don't you worry that I'll overeat?"
"You have a bottomless stomach, Sis."
Kanae: "…"
Seeing that Kanae didn't seem willing to eat further, Laura put the plate away. Her eyes scanned her sister's shoulder, wondering if it was fine or not. The doctor said that Kanae would heal fast, but she was still rather worried.
Flick!
"Stop gazing at me," Kanae chuckled, her arm outstretched towards Laura's forehead. "Don't tell me that you have fallen in love with me too."
"Sis! That's not funny," Laura pouted.
"A certain girl often told me in the past how she would fall in love with me if I were a guy, so I have been wondering if it were the same with you," Kanae grinned.
"Go to hell! I'll never fall in love with you."
"That's harsh."
