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.

I’m Ready
"Sis, are we not going to your place?" Laura asked when they reached a nearby inn. The inn was quite good, but it was not extravagant. After having experienced scraping by with barely enough, Laura would not complain about this matter.
Kanae shook her head. There was no way she was going to let Laura see the place where she has been staying all these years. She barely did any cleaning lately and that place looked extremely similar to a garbage dump. Of course, this comparison was only made inside her head.
If Laura saw that place, she might be scolded nonstop through the evening. That was something she wanted to avoid the most.
Laura frowned. "Are you still staying in that unworthy place, Sis?"
"Don't think too much," Kanae flicked Laura's forehead and handed a key to her. "This is going to be your place until we get the mansion back."
