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.

"It's rare for a little girl to be called to the hall."
Hearing that familiar voice, Kanae was stunned. She turned her head around and saw a man standing not far from her. He was carrying a stack of paper in his hand with a suitcase by his side. Even though his clothes were formal, Kanae still recognized that man.
There was no way she wouldn't recognize him since he had just visited their city not long ago. She was tasked to protect him, so she could recognize him from a distance without any trouble.
"Mr. George?"
"You come from the City of Crime, right?" George sized Kanae up and down. He was familiar with their clothes' design because he had stayed there for several days. Upon seeing a girl wearing the similar one, he couldn't resist to not call.
"Yes. Is it that obvious?" Kanae asked back.
George shook his head. "Normally, no. It's just I have some knowledge about the city that I came to know that you come from that peculiar city.���
