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.

Kevin and Kanae chased after Randy and the Young Master of Merion Clan. Travelling through the forest, they came closer to them. The uneven land caused many of the Merion Clan's members to stumble or fall. Many of them were unfamiliar with the land.
"It's getting higher!" Mike frowned as he watched them ran on the side of a hill. This area of the city was still filled with forest and hills. The land caused them to feel troubled as they were unable to travel carefully.
Along with the other, Mike was busy cleaning up the ordinary members who stumbled. As time passed by, their distance with Kevin and Kanae grew farther and farther away.
"Mike… How long… should we… run?" Neo asked while panting. After some time, he finally managed to catch up with Mike.
"They're still far ahead," Mike frowned. "Where's your father?"
