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.

Looking at her appearance in the mirror, Kanae wondered if she did too much. There was a party that invited the big families as well as the former clan's members. Kevin asked her to come along and obviously, Kanae had to dress up appropriately.
At the last banquet, she was wearing a long sleeve dress that would let her hide her weapon inside her sleeve. It was no different this time as well. The city was still not that safe as many areas were still considered as Black Street. For her own safety, it would be better to bring her sword with her.
Though, she was also proficient in hand to hand combat without needing to use a weapon.
