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.

*yawn*
Laura yawned as she looked at the list of papers on her table. Today was the day where she had to study about Nali Family's business. As a big family, Nali Family was involved in many sectors and everything was extremely important.
But for a young child who was barely 10 years old, it was extremely boring.
"Mom, do I really need to memorize all of these?" Laura asked as she pointed to the book before her.
Laura's Mother smiled bitterly. She patted her daughter's head. "Come on, we'll be meeting with the main family. It'll be impolite if you can't remember their names when you greet each other."
"Ugh…"
Laura knew that, but she didn't feel like doing it. She leaned back on the chair as her small legs swung around. "Right, where's Sis?"
"She should be studying in her room."
"Are you sure, Mom?"
