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.

The True Colors
"Rod Malady?"
The name didn't ring a bell in Kevin's mind, but the surname was awfully familiar. Tommy has the same surname, so his face appeared in his mind almost instantly. The man who was appearing in front of the door also seemed to look similar to Tommy a bit.
"Yeah, he's Tommy's father," Kanae frowned. "From what I remember, he tells us that he's going to leave the city before."
"Oh, so that's his name."
"You know him?"
"I already investigated all of you before," Kevin admitted frankly. However, there was no record about Kanae's activities in underworld, which he had missed back then. "Tommy is included and there's also his father."
He took out his phone and scrolled his document before handing it to Kanae. "You can read all of them if you want, but make sure that you won't be too angry afterwards."
"What?"
