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.

Sneaking Inside
Looking towards the familiar layout in front of her, Laura's heart tightened. The last time she stepped inside was more than two years ago. At that time, her sister decided to let go of the mansion for the price of several dozens of millions.
All of the money was used to pay for her overseas study tuition.
Considering the real value of this mansion, the money they received back then was rather small. However, they were not in the place to complain. Their uncle had already pressured them a lot and Kanae had to give in for her.
Recalling that, Laura's eyes glowed with determination. She was not going to let her sister's effort go down the drain. Since they had 'lent' the mansion to their uncle for the past two and a half years, it was time to take it back. After all, the procedure was not complete at that time.
There was one thing that they didn't give to their uncle using the pretense of 'they didn't know.'
It was the mansion's deed.
