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.

Master and Disciple
Black Street
"I can't believe you're now close to beating me, little brat," Master Rudy shook his head lightly as he rested on top of a big crate.
Kanae smiled lightly. She had just sparred with Master Rudy a few minutes ago. The result was still her loss, but this time Master Rudy had to employ several dirty tricks. In her heart, she vowed that she wouldn't lose to those tricks again the next time she fought against him.
On the side, Jason shook his head lightly. He was clearly only the spectator in that heated battle. Even though he has also been practicing very hard for the past two weeks, he was still far from Kanae.
"You have made quick progress lately," the young man on Master Rudy's side commented. This was only the fifth fight Kanae had with Master Rudy, but her improvement every time was obvious.
"It's not quite my level yet," Master Rudy scoffed. "But you have raided a few gangs in the deeper part of the Black Street lately."
