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.

Kanae woke up after hours of sleeping. She stared straight at the ceiling far above her for a moment. Recalling the fight from before, she abruptly sat up and saw Jason leaning on the stack of mattresses not far from her.
He smiled when he noticed that she had woken up. "You finally woke up, little princess."
"How long has it been since I fainted?"
"I don't know. There's no way to know the time in this place," Jason shrugged. "You should properly treat your arm now. We only disinfected it with alcohol and stopped the bleeding."
Kanae looked down at her arm, where she saw a dark red cut. It was no longer bleeding, but it still looked rather scary. Kanae took the nearby medication and treated her own arm calmly. Her movements showed that she was already familiar with it.
"Kanae, are you alright with the battle earlier?"
