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.

'They're really comrades.'
Arm in arm, they helped each other and assigned roles to one another. They trusted each other and entrusted their back to the other person, never thought that the other person would betray them.
'It's really nice to have friends,' Vena slowly walked forward. Monsters were everywhere, so she didn't really have any place to go. Some of them were ordered to only attack the strangers, but she knew better that many of them just killed randomly.
All her life, she was used to do everything alone. In her opinion, the only person she could trust was herself and no one else. Especially after the massive betrayal that she experienced, she no longer trusted anyone near her.
After an unknown amount of time her communication device vibrated.
