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.

Laura's Mansion, Present Time
"Sis, how long do you plan to watch the television?" Laura waved her hand in front of Kanae's face perplexedly. Why did her sister suddenly become so fixated on the news of the school?
Kanae blinked as she pulled her attention back to the present. Just now, she recalled her past battle in the school not long ago. It was this harsh battle that completely changed her fate.
"It's nothing, but you should know that Dad and Mom don't want us to go there, right? If not because of that, they wouldn't have tried so hard to get us out of there."
"I know."
"Why are you talking about attending the school, then?" Kanae looked at Laura in confusion.
Laura sighed. She strode to the table and picked up a letter, which she shoved at Kanae.
"I got this invitation this morning."
