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.

Vena’s Disappearance
Vena's Mansion
Vena was listening to the report about the clan's battle with dark face. She had guessed that the attempt of the Merion Clan might end in failure because of their incompetence. It was truly an idiotic move because the other clans were obviously still strong in their own.
Kicking the cupboard to vent her feeling, she could feel her feet hurt a bit. Her brow creased. The group she had nurtured for years were gone just because of this simple matter. If not because of her alliance with the Merion Clan and Randy's insistence, she wouldn't let them go. Now, everything she had built for years was all for naught.
"Miss, there's a guest."
Vena looked towards the door with an annoyed look. Who in the world dare to disturb her during this time? She wanted to have some time for herself alone as she was feeling rather annoyed.
"Who is it?"
