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.

Plans for the Future
After a few hours, the two of them walked out of Shiro's room. Shiro would be focusing on his recovery, so there would be no way for him to participate in the city's matters anymore. When he got discharged, the two of them believed that the city wouldn't be the same anymore.
As they walked in the corridor, Kanae heard the nurses gossiped as they looked at Jason. They were saying how handsome he was and so on. Her lips curled up as they walked to the man's room.
"You're still as popular as ever, Brother Jason," Kanae laughed.
Jason arched his eyebrows. He shook his head lightly. He was already used with those women coming to bother him over and over again. Their talk was already something that he got used to.
"That's because I have a handsome face. It's not my fault that they're coming to me."
"Should I tell Laura that you're getting close with the nurses?"
