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.

These two words were enough to make Alice smiled so brightly again. With his promise, she knew that he would surely fulfill it because Tommy was a man who kept his word. It was only a small progress, but it was already more than enough for him.
"Now, can you stop crying? The enemies are still around."
"Okay," Alice moved back from Tommy with light step. Right now, her mood was so high that she felt that she could reach the moon.
Seeing her tear stained face more clearly but with her lips curled up, Tommy's mouth quivered slightly. In his eyes, she was looking extremely beautiful like that to the point that he nearly unable to contain himself to not hug her again. However, his hand still moved up and wiped the girl's tear.
'Why did you keep on invading my life?'
