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.

Staking Everything in the Battle
After she had secured James's wellbeing, Kanae dashed into the forest again. She treaded the unfamiliar way rather than the one she knew. The sight of mountains not far from her gave her the feeling as if they were in a raging storm. She had not realized this before, but the mountain peaks' shape was numerous.
With the fog surrounding them most of the time, it was hard to recognize their peculiar shape. It was only because today was pretty clear that she managed to make up their shape. The snow has not fallen yet, but the temperature got even colder every single day.
Brmm!
The sound of car engine caused her to feel wary. She saw two cars were coming at her directly. Her lips twitched.
You cheater! Don't use car!
Dashed away from her position, she ran deeper to the forest. Every step was done in the most efficient way as she tried her best to lose her pursuer. Unfortunately, human's speed could never be compared with cars.
Bang!
