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.

Kara Company
"It's rare to see you come to the company, Sis," Laura remarked as she watched her sister followed after her.
Kanae nodded. "I just need some rest, so I think that I can come here today."
She didn't have to come to practice today because of the duel she had with Master Rudy just the day before. That old man didn't hold back at all, so she was wounded quite badly. Thanks to this wound, she didn't have to practice again and just wait for it to heal.
Thankfully, the wound on her neck was not too visible. She had covered the bandage with her collar and buttoned up the last button. However, she still has to be careful in case Laura found out about it.
"It's quite busy in the company lately, Sis. You can help us to check the paper and everything," Laura grinned.
Kanae rolled her eyes. "Don't you have Brother Jason to help you out?"
