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.

Trip
Kevin stopped the car not far from the blue panther car. The two of them alighted down the car with their weapon ready. This time, Kanae took out her small sword and not the gun as she was more proficient in using them.
"Be careful," Kevin reminded.
"I know."
The two of them moved to the edge of the forest as their eyes were locked in the dark blue panther car's direction. The car's condition was not that good anymore because the front was totally wrecked because of the crash.
Bang!
The driver seat's door was kicked open. A man limpidly walked outside with his right shoulder's bleeding profusely. There were still several other wounds on the other places, but it was not as bad as his shoulder.
"Megara," Kevin greeted. "It's a surprise to see you in this place."
