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.

"You… should stop… fighting," Iris said in a low tone as she was gasping for breath. It was hard for her to breath with her current condition. "Your brain… will burn…. If…. you continue."
Cain didn't reply. He leaned back on the chair as he stared at the screen before him. He could see the two men had passed the guards located in the lobby. It would take them several seconds to reach this place.
Kreet. (sound of door opening)
Kevin glanced inside and looked at the two people in front of him. They looked rather weak and pale. His killing intent surged out as he recognized them as Ferdinand's men who have special talent.
