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 Truth
Misae's House
"I'm home," Misae said as she walked inside the house. After spending quite a long time in the teacher's office, she got the clear picture about how to withdraw from a school. Although it was merely a plan right now, she needed to get the full information.
"Welcome home, dear, what would you like for dinner?" Clara asked with soft voice.
Misae was stunned to see her mother looked rather haggard. She knew that Clara was busy for the past few weeks because of a case, but she never knew that it was this hard. Her bright mother seemed extremely exhausted that the trace of her usual demeanor was lost.
"I'll be the one making dinner, Mom," Misae offered.
Clara smiled wryly. "Is my appearance that bad?"
"Kind of," Misae hesitantly answered. "Is it because of the case that mother doing recently?"
"Yes. I manage to win the case, but it was quite a long battle," Clara answered.
