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.

Engagement Party Invitation
As the end term was approaching, Kanae got news that Sakura was engaged with a young master from the Aida Family, one of the four big families in this city.
Towards the news, she paid no heed. Unfortunately, it was written in the invitation that she had to attend.
"Will you go to the party, Rei?" Jason called from the special phone.
Kanae leaned back on her chair as she tossed the invitation up and down in her hand. It was left right in front of her house and there was even a special note included that she had to go. Even if she didn't like it, right now she was still part of the Nali Family.
"I have to go. You also know that," Kanae answered calmly. "Let's try to ask Master Rudy again."
"You're going there again?" Jason was stunned. "I'll drive you. Wait at our usual spot."
"Got it."
Kanae quickly changed her clothes and slipped away from her home. Her movements were quick and no one detected her as she arrived at their usual meeting spot.
