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.

She Changed

After Kevin left, Kanae stayed in the room and enjoyed the food that the hospital prepared for her. While most patients were complaining about its taste, she didn't mind in the slightest. Compared to the times in the past when she couldn't eat at all because she didn't have any money, this was far better.

Her eyes drifted to the nearby camera. Truthfully, she hated the fact that they were monitoring her right now. However, she barely paid any attention anymore.

'I won't let them see anything.'

It was tiring, but she kept up her act. She turned her body around as she lay on the bed sideways. At the very least, if she slept, they wouldn't be able to see anything.

Early in the morning, she checked out by herself. It wasn't that difficult as the nurse helped her file the paperwork.

"Your wound is not completely healed yet, little girl. Are you sure you want to get discharged?"

"Yes."
