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.

Revenge after 9 Years
"Mike, how long should we go in this direction?" Neo asked with annoyance. His bullet was limited in number, so killing off every monster with his bullet was certainly out of question.
Mike shrugged. "Don't complain so much. You can kill them with one-shoot kill, right?"
Neo's face darkened. "It didn't mean that I like to stay in the place with these monsters crowding around me!"
"The building is already within the sight. You just have to be a bit more patient."
"That's good."
Mike nodded his head when he felt sudden danger. His body tensed up and he instinctively pulled the monster near him to block him on the right side. Sound of flesh tearing followed soon after that.
BANG! BANG!
Neo tried to shoot the person who attacked them, but his shot missed completely. He frowned when Mike held his arm.
"Randy," Mike shouted. "You've grown faster."
