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.

"Thank you," Kevin uttered his thanks.
Kanae nodded her head. From inside the hall, Patrick walked out with his spear coated in blood. He looked at the two of them with relief.
"Kevin, it's unusual for you to take a long time for a fight."
"She poisons me," Kevin replied curtly.
Patrick and Kanae moved their gaze to the fallen woman by the side. Upon seeing the black smoke around her, they knew for sure that she must have used a lethal poison to make sure that Kevin was harmed. After all, her strength couldn't be compared with someone as strong as Kevin.
"Rei, take Kevin away. The fight has just begun."
