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.

Their True Target
Kanae stood in front of the door of the Student Council. From the device, she still could hear their strained breathing. Her lips curled up to make a smile. At least, they were alright.
She raised her hand towards the broken door. Her hand was stained red with blood, making a rather scary sight. As she was busy fighting, she didn't realize that she was already drenched in their blood.
'I can't see them.'
Kanae retracted her hand. There was no need to make them scared by this appearance of hers. Her hand was already stained with the blood of numerous people, there was no way she would be able to greet them normally like usual in this appearance.
In the next second, she made her way to the other side. There were still a lot of people around them.
"What happened?" Laura asked in quivering voice. She heard the man screamed in horror, but she didn't know what exactly happened.
Alice shook her head. "I'm not sure myself."
