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.

"You should know better than anyone that those news reports are fake!" Taro rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"Haha, I'm just kidding," Jason laughed. Finally, he had a bit of fun in this boring party. If he had to stay here and put on an amiable smile from time to time, he would be extremely bored.
Taro snorted. "You're a terrible man, Jason."
"And who's the one talking to this horrible man?"
"Just an idiot," Taro shrugged, unwilling to continue the conversation. He fixed his bright red tie as he looked around, trying to find something interesting.
Jason stopped joking around as he recalled something. "Do you know whether Kevin will come here today or not?"
"No, the clans don't have any business in coming here. As for his company, this is not a business party, so he can't come either," Taro answered lightly.
