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.

Inside
When Kevin jumped into the floor, he crashed into Kanae, who was trying to climb up. Instinctively, he reached out his hand to the girl and wrapped her in his embrace tightly. The two of them crashed on the floor with Kevin bore most of the impact because he was covering her.
"Kevin?" Kanae's voice sounded worried. "What's happening outside?"
The sound of rubbles and the shaking earth made Kanae worried. They were fighting against Ferdinand just now, so it was highly possible that there was something that happened just now.
"The entire building collapsed," Kevin replied.
"Will we die?"
"No, we'll be fine, but we might have to stay here for quite some time as the rubbles block the entrance."
Kanae nodded her head. She stayed still in Kevin's arm as her eyes adapted to the dark room. In mere seconds, she could see the surroundings very well.
