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.

This Little Bullying is Nothing
Kanae only returned back to Laura's apartment when it was already late at night. She had just finished practicing under Master Rudy. Her sister originally didn't like the idea of her going out at night, but in the end, Laura didn't say anything else.
She moved without any sound towards her bedroom and changed her clothes. Her face scrunched a bit in pain. Today, Master Rudy showed no mercy to her and abused her greatly.
Sighing internally, she walked out of the room towards the dining room. The food that Laura had prepared was placed neatly on the table. A smile made its way to her face.
'Even though you say that you don't want me to go, you still prepare food for me.'
Kane sat down and started eating with relish. At least, now she could fill her belly up quickly.
Creak ...
"Sis?" the sleepy Laura walked out of her room while yawning heavily.
Kanae smiled and gulped down the food. "What is it, Laura? It's late, you should just go back to sleep."
