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.

You Can’t Return to the Past
When Kanae reached home, she noticed that her sister was awake. The little girl was experimenting on a new recipe in the kitchen.
"Sis, where did you go?"
"I just went for a walk. Don't you have work today?"
"Nah," Laura shrugged. "I already finished most of it yesterday, so I want to spend today cooking a bit. There's a new recipe that I want to try."
"Oh? Then I want to borrow the kitchen too. I haven't been using it at all lately."
"Don't!"
"Why not?"
"You're just going to destroy the kitchen, Sis!"
Kanae recalled the mess she had created in the kitchen last time. She sighed to herself. "How about if I just make a fried egg? That's a simple dish, right?"
"Are you hungry?" Laura looked at Kanae doubtfully. "If you want, I can cook you something."
"I just want to try a bit."
"… Fine."
