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.

Complicated Matters of Officials (1)
"I'm tired," Kanae murmured as she dropped to the ground. After forcing her legs to move around so much, she could feel the fatigue and pain coming at her. Beads of sweat formed on her face, showing how tired she felt.
Kevin stood still with his sword by his side, blood dripping from the sharp end. He looked at Kanae with worry. "Are you alright?"
"I think I strained my muscle," Kanae smiled wryly. Part of her calf didn't seem to feel anything at this point. Except for the slight pain that she experienced here and there, there was nothing else.
Frowning, Kevin sheathed back his sword and crouched near Kanae. He stretched out his hand and pulled the girl's right foot only to earn a yelling right to his ear.
"Stop that! It hurts!"
"I need to look at your feet."
"You're not a doctor. Just leave it be, I'm sure it'll heal in a few hours," Kanae scrunched her face.
