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.

The Fall
"We're too late!" Mike's expression turned solemn. "Prepare to fight!"
Before Mike could move from his position, he saw a shadow from the corner of his eyes. Kanae had swiftly moved down towards the group of men. Her right hand was holding the small sword that she always used. The moment she reached them, the sword danced and wounded them mercilessly.
The man tried to stop the attack, but Kanae caught the man's hand with ease. Her sword moved and made a slashing wound on his neck. Blood spurt out just like a waterfall. In the next second, she had twisted her body to attack the other man who stayed close with her.
Not far from them, Neo gulped down his saliva. "She's amazing."
"More than amazing, she's on par with Boss," Mike frowned. He recalled how Patrick was extremely fond of this young lady. No wonder that Rei has been famous as the legend of the street. Once again, he was reminded that this young lady was truly someone worth of his praise.
