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 Need to Get Out

BAM!

Without thinking, he pulled Kanae close, hoping that he could protect her. Similarly, Kanae's reflexes made her want to block the explosion for Kevin. However, her strength fell short of Kevin's, resulting in her ending up in his embrace.

The office room blew up, sending shattered debris all over the place. Because they were on a high floor, wind started blowing inside through the broken windows.

Prang! Whoosh!

Pieces of paper flew everywhere. At the same time, chunks of wood, concrete, and various other materials scattered everywhere. Despite the mess, the two of them were still alive.

Although his hands were covered in scratches, Kevin was still hugging the girl. He shook her slightly. "Kanae, are you alright?"
