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.

*Pant* *pant*
Kanae stood on her place as she saw that man got killed by the two shoots. Her heartbeat was still too fast as the adrenaline rushed to her entire body. Although she felt glad that the man already died, her task has not finished yet.
Turning her head slightly, she looked straight to Kevin's eyes. The two of them were staring at each other. Neither one of them said anything as they looked deep into each other eyes.
From Kanae's viewpoint, his gaze was as deep as the ocean. That seemingly indifferent expression was hiding a mysterious past and strained feeling that he never dared to show outside. Something was holding this man back as he couldn't allow himself to be fully released.
From Kevin's viewpoint, her eyes were staring at him clearly without any fear or anything. All that he could see was concern. In addition, those clear dark irises felt rather familiar for him. He felt as if he already met with her somewhere before.
BANG!
