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.

Laura's Apartment
"Sis, don't tell me that you're still sleeping?" Laura complained when she came home. The lights were off, so the first thought she had was that her sister was still sleeping in her room.
Kanae's head appeared from the door of her bedroom. "I'm awake, Laura. I didn't turn on the light outside since I'm too lazy to leave the bedroom."
Laura rolled her eyes. "You made me think that you're still sleeping, Sis."
"I didn't sleep for that long."
"I can see that," Laura put her bag on the chair as she turned the lamp on. "I talked to Mrs. Clara. There's no problem with the purchase agreement, we can proceed with the task."
Kanae nodded her head. "I'm not really good with business matters. Do you think you can do it by yourself?"
"Of course, I'm an expert in these matters."
"Braggart."
"Hey, I'm just telling the truth."
