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.

We Have More Work to Do
"We have to stop digging," Dean said as he glanced at the snow around them. During the fight, which started from morning until noon, the weather was rather bright. But now, it was snowing. The snow that was covered with blood on the ground was covered with the pure and white snow.
"We can't," Patrick replied. His breath has turned rough because he was forcing himself to move around all these times. They had managed to clear up most of the rubbles after hours of digging, but it was only one small part of the tower, near the entrance.
His grip has turned weak because he didn't have much strength left.
"You have to rest or you'll collapse like them," Dean pointed to the ambulance behind them. Neo and Mike have collapsed in the middle because they couldn't hold on doing this work continuously. Lou also nearly collapsed, so they forced the man to rest in the ambulance.
Patrick's expression turned grim. "I have to find them."
