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 party ended after the dance session. Some of the students still stayed behind because they wanted to enjoy the food, but most of them already got home earlier.
"Sis, are you going to come home today?" Laura asked.
"I'll see about it later," Kanae smiled wryly.
Laura nodded her head. "I'll just head to the company now, okay. You don't mind if I spend the night there, right?"
"Just make sure that no one else is in the same room as you and you lock down everything."
"I understand," Laura replied hurriedly. She knew that Kanae might list out every single thing she had to do if she didn't stop her sister quick enough. After all, Kanae cared for her safety very much.
"Take care of yourself, little girl."
"You too, Sis."
Kanae walked to Kevin and the others again. She noticed that Kevin was still waiting for her patiently.
