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.

Kanae’s Senior
"Nali as in THE Nali Family?" Dean immediately asked when he heard Kanae's surname. He already saw her face before, so he was not surprised to see her young face. However, her surname made him rather startled. Since when the four big families have their core member got involved directly in the underworld?
Master Rudy beckoned for Kanae to stand up. "Good, I have disciples from many kinds of background."
Dean rolled his eyes. "Master, don't joke around. I'm asking my little junior about her background."
"Yes, it's Nali Family. I believe there's only one Nali Family in this city," Kanae tilted her head as she thought about it.
"You're correct," Dean scratched his head.
The young man thought about it before nodding his head. "Kanae Nali recently clashes with the core family because you volunteer to get out of the family by yourself."
"How do you know about that?"
