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.

Things are Getting Messy

"Have you calmed down?"

Kevin raised his head and saw Kanae holding a glass of water to him. Because of a special brat, he got annoyed a lot and ended up showing a completely different side of him to the young girl. Still, he didn't like seeing that brat took advantage of his age to get closer to Kanae.

"Thanks," Kevin took the glass and gulped down the water in one go. "Why are you tolerating that kid so much?"

"Well, he's young," Kanae tilted her head.

"I'm also young."

"Kevin, you're a year and one day older than me."

Kevin was still feeling dissatisfied with Kanae's answer. "But I'm still considered as young."

"Then, James is cute."

"I'm…" Kevin was unable to continue his words. How could he say that he himself is cute? It would be the same thing as lowering his dignity. What kind of man would be happy being called cute?
