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.

Clash of Groups (Prelude): Taking the Mission
"He disappeared," Tommy gulped in fear. What kind of person manages to disappear within seconds? Was that a person or a ghost?
Kanae looked at the empty space for a moment. "Oro, should we check the Black Market?"
"I'll check it right away."
"Wait, before that, can someone explain what that man meant about potential and the likes?" Tommy quickly interrupted.
What greeted him was the sight of three people looking at him in exasperation. He felt offended when he saw their gazes. Come on, it was not his fault that he was born in a less uncultured place where he didn't have the chance to learn about that.
Shiro shook his head lightly. "It'll be better for you to not know about that at all. It's too dangerous. What you have to know is the mission he mentioned is to fight against monsters."
Tommy was stunned. "There are monsters in this city?"
"You can say so."
"Why I have never met them?"
