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 eating session lasted a very short time as most of them were big eaters. Only Misae took her time to savor the food, and she enjoyed them very much. She felt rather glad that she managed to make the dishes well with the guidance the chef gave her before.
"The sun is going to set," Kanae pointed to the sun. It was already nearing night and the sky has turned dark red. Even the sky seemed to change its color when the sun was setting.
Misae immediately took out her phone and got up from her seat. She snapped several pictures for the next few seconds before the sun completely disappeared from the view.
"I want to take more pictures," she sighed in disappointment. The pictures she had just taken were not good enough.
"There will be more chances for that in the future. The meeting is not over yet," Kanae consoled.
Misae nodded her head excitedly. "I truly want to take more photos!"
