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.

Street
On the street, several people were walking out as usual. They were used to wake up very early in the morning to do their job, so coming out a bit early was nothing unusual.
"Today is a bit warm," a man yawned. Even thought it was quite early, the season has started to change to summer, making morning become slightly warmer.
"You're correct," the other man beside him nodded his head in agreement.
They were walking along the sidewalk when they saw someone lying on the street. Although it was warmer, sleeping on the street was certainly not recommended. They could get killed if they were not careful enough.
"Who's that?"
"Let's wake her up."
