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.

Clash of Groups: Against a Member of the Third Strongest Group
Climbing up the stairs, they reached the next floor. There, they saw a young blonde woman sitting on the ground lazily. There was a maniacal expression on her face as one of her hands fiddled with something red and slimy.
Her eyes lit up when she saw them. "Finally, there's another person here again. I've been so bored."
As she stood up, Kanae and Jason readied their stances. They could sense the thick blood lust from the woman before them. The mess on this floor should be her doing, considering how she treated those bodies around her.
'She's crazy,' Tommy shuddered. He didn't know why, but he was afraid of this woman. The woman looked quite ordinary, or rather, was a bit attractive. Yet, the sight of her with a crazy expression and hand covered in blood caused him to not dare go closer.
After throwing aside the mysterious object she was playing with, the woman put the back of her bloody hand on her hip. "Now, hand over your bags or I'll kill you."
