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.

Poor Tommy
Alice looked at the man beside her with a wry smile. "Tommy, you don't need to force yourself if you can't."
Tommy was trying to stand with one of his legs still in bandages. Even though he refused to wear crutches, he could only move his legs one step at the time. With Alice in front of him, he slowed down their pace considerably.
"I'm fine," Tommy waved his hand. "We're going to meet with the others, right? I can't possibly miss it."
"Okay, but be careful."
Slowly, Tommy moved from his position to the elevator. The short journey that was supposed to take a few seconds turned into minutes because of him. Thankfully, no one paid any attention, or he would be extremely embarrassed.
"This is the room," Alice pointed at one of the VIP rooms.
Tommy's lips twitched a bit when he saw several doors have a lot of guards waiting before the door. Those were truly rich and important people. He wondered who was inside when he heard Alice pointed to them.
