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.

Ruined Plan
Kanae sat down calmly as the man began his explanation regarding the potential business in this city at the moment. They were talking about how to develop the city by investing in entertainment. Thinking about the various businesses in the Nali Family, Kanae felt a headache coming.
The family business had branched into several industries since a long time ago.
"I think this proposal is good. We can release more advertisements to promote the entertainment industry to divert the attention of the people," one of the representatives spoke out.
Some others began to voice their opinions. Kanae shook her head internally. Increasing funds in the entertainment industry wouldn't be good at this time. The risks were too high because they would need to protect their artists during this chaotic time.
It would be better if they just focused more on safety and transportation.
"What about the Nali Family's opinion?"
