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.

Verge of Breaking Down

On the side, Jeff just watched from the side with derision on his face. He was not proficient in close combat fight, so he didn't even try to bother with them. Besides, was there any need to fight a broken person?

He laughed maniacally. "This is what happens when you care about someone too much. You'll just become weaker and never be able to fight by yourself."

"You're just venting your anger in them," Vena said coolly.

Jeff shrugged. Even if he did, why did that matter? He hated people in relationships because he had experienced something that broke him too in the past. For him, seeing couples experienced pain was more exciting than watching their sweet moment.

"Aren't you happy to see other people's relationships break? It feels more satisfying than seeing them having a steady and good relationship."
