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 see," Kevin murmured. He had always thought that Rei's ability has been far surpassing normal people with how that person managed to become a legend on the street in mere months. However, he was full of doubts because every awakened people that he knew used to belong to the government. Only a handful of them managed to get out because of luck or didn't awake during the golden age.
Kanae turned her head around. Her dark iris reflected Kevin's complicated face. "You're also an awakened, right?"
"Yes," Kevin replied shortly.
"I heard from my mother that the founders of this city are actually twelve awakened people, but every awakened people after that have to come from their lineage. There's no one outside them who could awaken their talent, but this fact remains unknown until the incident that they call the first awakened," Kanae blabbered.
"Yes, you're well informed."
