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.

"Don't shoot randomly!" Kevin yelled to his men. In this thick smoke, it would be hard to know the location of their enemies and allies.
He shifted his body position and drew his sword. A man was attacking him, using the smoke as the cover.
CLANG!
"You're pretty good, Ryukalin Clan Head," the man hissed.
Kevin's eyes narrowed as he recognized the owner of the voice: Randy from Hunter Group. He had gotten news that Merion Clan and Hunter Group collaborated with each other. Now, it seemed the news was true.
Randy suddenly leaped back as a thin sword was thrust to the place where his heart was before. He frowned when he saw that thin figure.
"You come again, Rei."
Kanae didn't answer. She twisted her body and attacked him once again. Her sword reached Randy's back palm, making a scratch on his arm.
