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.

In the garden, the two girls walked side by side. Alice held a complicated expression on her face. Even the beautiful petals that fell from the trees around her couldn't make her mood any better.
Kanae had never shown the trace of her legendary skill in fighting during their time together. Although it should be kind of expected since Kanae has higher skill in the sports, the thought never crossed Alice's head. All that she knew was Kanae knew some skill because she was part of the four big families in the past.
Now that she knew that Kanae and Rei are the same person, she truly didn't know how she should feel. During the gathering before, it was Rei who protected her, even when the other party knew that she had to take place as Kevin's fiancée. Knowing how Kanae felt, she knew that it shouldn't be easy.
