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.

Present Time
"Hey, are you alright? The beach will close down in an hour."
Tommy snapped back to reality as he watched the last dust on his hand flown by the wind. The pot was already empty, so there was no need for him to stay in this place anymore.
"Thank you for the reminder," Tommy waved to the one who reminded him. It was someone whom he didn't know, but he was thankful that he got the reminder.
Standing up from his place, Tommy stretched his body. There were many painful experiences he had in the past. Each of them was something that he would never want to remember. However, he couldn't change his past, not that he wanted to.
His mother might have made his life miserable, but it was her who allowed him to meet with Kanae. If not because of her driving him out of the house that day, he would never meet with Kanae and experienced a lot of things.
