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.

Tamari Clan's Headquarters
The leader of Tamari Clan was working in his room with a solemn expression. In front of him, a letter was placed neatly on his desk. An ordinary letter wouldn't make him troubled, but this one was completely different. This one was clearly a death omen.
Those from the government have started to make their move. It was not an ordinary move at that. And they hoped that everyone would follow their words and decision.
"Boss, is there anything wrong?" his closest attendant asked carefully.
Tamari Clan Head glanced up and shook his head slightly. "Have you prepared everything that I asked you to?"
"Everything is ready, Boss."
"That's good."
Leaning back in his chair, his aged hands hung over the armrests. His eyes looked at the ceiling as complicated feelings brewed inside them. "If I ask you to leave me alone, will you leave?"
"I'll never leave you alone, Boss," the man frowned.
