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.

Shift in the City

"Who's that?"

Hearing Laura's question, Alice directed her gaze to the front gate. Her eyes widened slightly before she smiled. "It's just an old friend."

"Old friend?"

"Yeah. He's someone who used to be our friends before you come. That's why you don't know him."

"I see," Laura was still curious, but she decided to not think too much. It was not like she had to know everyone her sister knew. They have a completely different life too.

Kanae approached the gate and looked over to the guard. Seeing the sleeping guard, she truly wondered whether the security has turned lax since the new semester. Probably, they just thought that things have been going in peace as Souhon Clan didn't move at all.

"Jay," Kanae called out.
