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.

Survivor from Doha Family
Ryukalin Clan Headquarters
It was dawn and the guards guarding the headquarters were rather sleepy. There was nothing special that night, so they were just doing their duty as usual. It was then that they saw two people approaching them.
"Excuse me, is Kevin still awake?" the woman asked hurriedly.
The guard's eyebrows creased. Who in their right mind would say the name of Ryukalin Clan Head so carelessly? Whoever dared to say his name just like that would surely receive the punishment.
"State your name and business!"
"Tell him that Tara is here," the woman –no man, Taro Doha, said directly. As the young master of Doha Family and Kevin's friend, there was no way his friend would reject his coming. Besides, the catastrophe that happened to the Doha Family was still in the news.
The guard frowned. He was about to lash out again when his friend tapped his shoulder.
"What is it?"
"Boss is coming."
