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.

The First Senior
The moment the light went off, Kanae sprang up from her position. In a speed that ordinary people was unable to follow, she reached the door and sped up to the corridor heading to the underground prison. It was a complete darkness when she walked inside.
Remembering the part of the layout, she dashed deeper inside, trying to find way to go down more and more. Whenever she found stairs, she would dash to head towards the deeper part of the prison. Thankfully, when she hacked the cameras, she managed to find the way inside.
Although the labyrinth seemed complex, it was rather simple. There were only two way in and out, one at the left and the other one at the right. When someone came inside, they were faced with the wall and have to pick either right or left. Without any light, it would be a total darkness for them.
On the prison above, the people were startled when the light went off suddenly.
