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.

Refurbishing the Mansion (2)
"We're here," Kanae arrived on the second floor of the mansion. There were several tables, chairs, and beds scattered about in the corridors.
Kevin looked towards the displaced furniture. "It seems that you don't want to use this place for living in."
"We don't," Kanae grinned. "Laura has a different plan for this place."
"I see. It's indeed too big for you two."
"It might be gorgeous, but I'm not too fond of the huge space," Kanae replied honestly. She preferred the mansion she had more than this one because she was used to living in a smaller and cozier environment. Living in a large place like this was clearly not to her taste.
Kevin nodded. When Kanae turned to face him, he placed his hand on top of her shoulder. His sudden movement caused the girl to be startled. Her dark irises stared back at him in confusion.
"Is there anything wrong?"
