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.

Kanae looked at Kevin's room with bewilderment. Why did it seem that the number of papers had increased over the time they spent in hospital?
"This is not paper for the ordinary work anymore," Neo pointed to the stack on the side. "Many of them comes from the companies outside this city that Boss buy not long ago. He's just shareholder in most of them, but there are still some paperwork need to be done."
"Do you really have to print them all?"
"There are a lot of important contract and project. Some of them have to be done manually," Kevin replied. He patted the seat next to him. "Come and help me, Kanae."
"Ok."
"Wait, you two still need a lot of rest. The doctor only allowing you to go back because you say that you'll rest," Neo reminded the two of them. In fact, Kevin threatened the doctor to let them go back. Their wounds were not completely healed yet, so he had to remind them over and over again.
