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.

"Ah, how long has it been since the last time I came to this place?" Looking out of the car, Lucas wiped the glass for a better view.
It was Winter and snow was filling the street. There were several people who were busy shoveling the snow that piled up in front of their house.
Beside him, Tommy furrowed his brows. "Lucas, don't stick your head out. You're not a child anymore."
"Yes, Brother."
Lucas moved back and leaned on the chair. After living in the orphanage for some time, he managed to find a job when he was older. Since then, he lived on his own and came to visit the orphanage occasionally because his sister chose to stay there and help other orphans.
