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.

"This should be enough," Alice sat down when she finished. She didn't bother turning on the lamp. She feared that they would know that someone was here if she did that.
Laura nodded her head. She sat in front of Alice and hugged her feet. The sounds of fighting outside the room hadn't ceased. Unfortunately, there was nothing she could do to help them. She was not a skilled fighter.
"So, Alice, who are you?"
Alice looked back with a wry smile. "My name is Alice Ainge, I'm part of Ainge Clan, a hidden clan under Ryukalin Clan."
Laura looked towards Alice suspiciously. She heard a few strange terms today that made her rather confused. She knew Ryukalin Clan because it was a famous clan, but Ainge Clan?
"What is a hidden clan?"
