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.

Nali Family Main Residence
After making the call and all, Laura managed to call the elders into the meeting place once more. After she became the family head, she had never tried to summon them all like this because she didn't feel the need to. Today was different because she needed their help.
The grand elder looked at Laura with inquiry. "Lass, you better have a good reason for calling us here today."
"Yes, Elder," Laura replied.
Standing in front of numerous elders caused her body to grow tense. It was to be expected since the elders were mostly very knowledgeable and experienced. Staying calm in front of their gaze was nearly impossible.
However, Laura was no longer the same child as before. She had learned a lot of things and how to stand in front of a lot of people. As she had something she wished to share, she would not back down so easily.
