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.

Close Call
Tommy dragged the drunk Jon to his room. The guards allowed him to pass once they saw Jon. There was no way they would not allow their own young master to pass.
Upon arriving in the room, Tommy scanned the room. He didn't see anyone there, so he quickly laid the sleeping man to the bed and searched around for the other half of the information. The laptop was nearby, so all he needed to do was rummage around.
"Oro, the laptop is locked."
"Is there anyone else around?" Kanae asked while she was rummaging through the bag. Her eyes swept the items as she searched. It took her several seconds to finish looking through them all.
'I guess my uncle is not that stupid to bring it around.'
She put the things back into their place before walking towards the door. If there was no one else around here, she could sneak into Jon's room and check the laptop herself. After all, Tommy didn't know how to hack other people's laptop and electronics.
