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.

She had climbed up and down her mansion countless times in the past when she was sneaking out from her lessons. However, the mansion was not this tall. Besides, the wind was never this strong.
'Let's go up.'
Slowly, Kanae climbed up. She kept her body as close as possible to the wall. The further she was from the wall, the more resistance she would meet from the wind.
One, two, three…
