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.

On the Sea
"Am I late?" Kanae reached the beach after a few hours. The cleaning that she did make her took more time to reach this place.
Kevin shook his head. "Uncle is not here yet."
"Oh, you're right."
Kanae sighed in relief. She sat down on the fence as she rested her legs. It has been quite tiring for her to force herself to move around. She did take rest a couple of times because her legs started to feel hurt, but it was not for long.
Kevin crouched down and checked Kanae's left leg. "You're not bleeding again, are you?"
"Hey! I guess no?" Kanae replied sheepishly. She was unsure about her real condition right now. It did feel a bit hurt, but it was barely negligible. She has gotten used to the pain.
She tried to move her leg away, but Kevin held it firmly in its place.
"Be good. Don't move around," Kevin ordered solemnly.
