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.

A Trip to Doha Family
Kara Company
By the time they finished the work, time has shown that it was quite late at night. Kanae stretched her body slightly. "It has been some time since the last time I spend time this long in front of my laptop."
"Don't you work at Kale Company too?" Jason asked.
"I haven't gone there for quite some time. I just don't feel like going there right now."
"I see," Jason nodded his head. From Kanae's expression, he could guess that she didn't want to come over to the company because Kevin was no longer there. It was pretty obvious from her rather lonely and sad expression.
He sighed to himself. If only the one she missed was him, he would spare double effort just to accompany her. Unfortunately, the one she wanted to stay by her side was someone else.
"Kanae, do you think you should head home first?" Jason pointed to the sleepy Laura.
Kanae smiled wryly. "Let's go back home. Do you mind giving us a ride?"
