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.

Unexpected Guest
The next day the four of them woke up early. They quickly stuffed their stomachs with food before setting out. Each of them brought a paint gun loaded with a different color as well as several pieces of paper. They had to eliminate the others using the gun and in a close combat fight.
"We shall meet here again in three hours."
"Sure."
The four of them scattered. Each of them brought a watch because they wouldn't know how long time has passed without it. In the woods, it was hard for them to notice anyone else.
Kanae slipped into the woods very quickly. Her agile movement made her located pretty far from the others. She climbed a tree and used the leaves to cover her body. For the first two hours, she was going to try shooting the others.
Shiro had similar thoughts. He had to hide because he would lose if he got engaged in a physical fight. Among the four of them, he was obviously the weakest one.
