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.

It’s Not the Time
Patrick patted Kanae's head. "You're still young with a bright future ahead, so don't try to do something dangerous."
"With great power comes great responsibility," Dean chuckled. "But it doesn't mean that you're the one who has to step forward. You're not the only person who has power in this city, Rei. Even though most of the fighters couldn't be compared with you, they're still pretty handy."
Kanae nodded her head. She moved away from Patrick's reach. "Don't treat me as a child. I'm almost 18 years old."
"There's still more than one month before your birthday," Patrick shrugged. "17 can still be considered as a child too."
"Father…"
Dean shook his head. "Why do you call him both 'Senior Pat' and 'Father'? You can just stick to one address."
