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.

Do You Regret It?
*not long before*
When Neo woke up, the sun had risen high in the sky. Groggily, he propped himself up to a sitting position. He glanced at his side where Mike and Patrick had woken up and was currently eating.
"Where am I?" he asked.
Patrick passed him a can. "This is one of the resting houses in the forest that belong to the Kalin Family. You should eat a bit; it has been tough on you."
Neo glanced at the can in Patrick's hand. It was a rather old can, but right now he didn't really care about it. Taking the can from Patrick, he started to eat the content. The meat felt like a jelly, but he forcefully pushed it down his throat.
"We have to find Boss," Neo remarked.
Patrick looked at Neo for a moment. Even at times like this, their attention has been fully focused on one person. It was indeed important for them to search for Kevin, but he knew better that Kevin would be able to fend for himself if he managed to stay alive.
