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.

Master Rudy vs Pen (2)
Hearing the nickname Master Rudy used, Pen's gaze turned sharper. He controlled the pieces of wood as he started to attack Master Rudy again. The pieces turned smaller as they met with Master Rudy's blade.
Swish!
Master Rudy appeared behind Pen, his blade ready to attack the young man.
Clang!
Pen gazed back at Master Rudy.
"Pen, why can't you answer me? Did Ferdinand erase your memory too?"
The sword pushed Master Rudy back. Pen's lips trembled slightly. "I don't want to fight you too, Master. But I don't have any choice. My life belongs to Ferdinand."
"Is that so?" Master Rudy flashed a sad smile.
"Master, I… I'm sorry," Pen's lifeless eyes shook when he saw Master Rudy's appearance. In his memory, Master Rudy was always laughing and beat people around with a wide grin on his face. He would challenge people with confidence.
