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.

Misae’s Past: Junior High Students Kidnapping Case (2)
Time passed so slowly as the children stayed in that dirty room. Occasionally, there would be sobs sounded from one of the girls, but most of the time, they stayed quiet.
There was no food to help them keep their energy, so no one wanted to waste their energy by moving around without thinking. They have to stay quiet if they didn't want to die because of the cold.
'I'm cold,' Misae could feel strength slipping out of her body.
As someone who came from a good family background, she was already used with comfortable life. Staying in the cold for hours was clearly not listed in her daily activities.
Bang!
When the door opened again, their body tensed up terribly. Looking at the door, they were waiting for anyone who would come inside. Several men came inside with one man leading them. He was holding a large gun, with the point rested on his shoulder, looking as relaxed as possible.
"Now take the boys. We have to catch up on our schedule."
