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.

Trip to the West
Neo stared at his laptop with frustration. He glanced back at Lou behind him. "Why did he have to destroy every single surveillance camera on the rooftop? Doesn't he know they're extremely expensive?"
Lou shrugged. "Why are you asking me when you're the one at fault?"
Kevin had clearly instructed them that he didn't want anyone to disturb him when he was on the rooftop. They had cleared the people around to make sure that Kevin could stay alone in that place. Still, the young man didn't seem to want them knowing their activity at all.
Every single camera that Neo placed in secret was destroyed without any hope to repair. Right now, the young man wanted to cry in despair. They were all expensive!
"He doesn't destroy them," Lou's voice caused his ear to perk up. "He's just putting them away in a place without signal. That's why every single one is sending you 'no signal' messages."
"He's still too ruthless." Neo sighed.
