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.

A class without Kanae there was always boring. Misae missed her desk partner that would always sleep. Although Kanae barely did anything, her presence reassured Misae that she could ask the girl beside her anything. Now that Kanae was absent, Misae felt rather bored.
"Will Kanae return later?" Misae sighed.
Tommy smiled wryly. "I don't think she will."
Considering Kanae's condition when he saw her before, he doubted that she was going to come back to class. She seemed too tired. As for what she had experienced to get those bruises, he didn't want to know. There was no doubt that it was something inhuman in his opinion.
Misae sighed. "It doesn't help that the others are away for a meeting."
