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 Real Plan
Outside the Gate
"The monsters have decreased by a lot," Dean nodded with a satisfied expression. They have been fighting for quite a long time, so seeing the result made him rather elated.
"Is he alright?" the elder looked at Lou with a worried expression. The fight with Ayres, despite ended in Lou's win, caused the man to suffer a lot of wounds.
Even after the fight, the man had forced himself to participate in eliminating the other monster. He worried that something might happen to Lou if this continued. After all, this man has an important position in the Ryukalin Clan.
Dean passed Lou a glance. "If that old man wants to fight, let him be."
"Old man?" the leader was speechless. Even though he knew that Lou was already quite old, it was not enough to call that man 'old man'. After all, with the way he did things, it would be hard to believe that he was already pretty old.
