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.

"Run, Rei!" Jason yelled anxiously.
Kanae ran as quickly as she could, but she could not reach the safe area in time. Her feet lost stable ground, and she felt gravity pulling her down.
"REI!" Jason screamed when he saw Kanae falling down. He anxiously ran towards the edge of the breach, hoping that the girl was still there.
"Stop yelling!"
The voice of a young girl immensely relieved Jason. He peeped over the edge of the hole, and saw Kanae looking back up at him.
"Captain, can you climb up?"
"Ouch," Kanae was hanging onto the edge with one hand. Thankfully, the fissure in the floor stopped in time as she managed to latch onto the edge. If not, she didn't know what would have happened to her.
"Little brat, climb up," Dean crouched down at the edge of the hole. His hand grasped Kanae's hand as he pulled her up slowly and carefully. He didn't want her to get hurt from the sharp fractures in the cement floor.
