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.

The Most Hated Man in the City (1)
Laura's face was red as she stared at the door with a fierce gaze. If only looks could kill, she would have dug out a hole in the door by now. She felt extremely annoyed that Jason became even more daring in his advance.
She couldn't even relax for one second around him. It was truly annoying. Though, at the same time, her heart felt warm.
"Miss Laura?"
"Ah yes, I need you to publish the information that I'm going to give you," Laura replied. "Within an hour, I wish that every single advertisement will show off this one news. As for their variety, I want you to make five different pictures and short videos."
"An hour?" the one on the other line of the phone felt like fainting. How could he manage to finish them all within an hour? However, he knew that the information should be extremely important. Laura rarely called them and even if she did, it would be for checking up.
Right now, he wanted to cry.
