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.

Side Story 5: Neo’s Girlfriend (?) (2)
(Special mention for web novel [without space between the two words] reader aistitch)
…
"Ugh…"
Neo propped his body and looked at the culprit who made him fall down. He saw a tennis ball rolling to the side of his head as his mind blanked a bit.
WHO'S THE IDIOT WHO PLACE THIS TENNIS BALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET?
Normally, Neo's reflex would be quite good. But since his mind had been quite preoccupied with annoyance thanks to numerous irritating people showing off their love to him, Neo was distracted. He knew for sure that today must be his worst day ever.
Neo was about to take the tennis ball when he saw a shadow took the ball. His eyes widened as he tilted his head, looking at that particular shadow.
"What is a stray cat doing here?"
Pulling the back neck of the cat, Neo lifted the cat up. The cat was white with parched yellow spots. She let the ball go and wriggled, trying to release herself from Neo's grasp.
Meow!
