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.

Strange Water
"Kevin, do you know the things that happen?" Kanae turned her head to the man beside her.
Kevin shook his head. "I'm not a history teacher."
"Right."
Before they could continue their conversation, the woman spoke up. "One of us accidentally told someone about their source of power. The fact that this place can grant power allowed someone to come here. He takes a large amount of the lake water out of this place and drink it. As the result, he became the 13th person to have power.
Different from us, he wants to use the water to make himself the sole leader. We try to stop him, but he's really strong. After repeated fights with the man, he chose to drink a large amount of water that he takes out and turns into a monster. His change surprised us because we remember that no matter how much we drink, we will never turn into one.
