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.

He was still not strong enough to fight against monsters like them.
Ayres smirked. "You can't stop me!"
He raised his fist again, wanting to attack Tommy once again.
BANG!
A gunshot reached his arm. His eyes widened. From the corner of his eyes, he saw a man holding a gun directed towards him. At the same time, there was a shadow coming nearer.
Slash!
He stomped his legs to move back, but the shadow still wounded him. Seeing the trail of blood caused him to be surprised. After all, he knew very well how high his defense was. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to wound him at all. They would only be able to scratch him at most.
"Who-?"
