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.

Close Call
"Um… I…" Kanae muttered. "Can I go to the toilet for a moment?"
The doctor was stunned with Kanae's sudden request. He was about to shake his head when the door was opened. A doctor with a stack of paper on his hand appeared with disheveled clothes.
"Excuse me, I'm looking for Kanae Nali."
"I'm here," Kanae replied.
The homeroom teacher looked at the doctor with confused gaze. "Is there anything wrong?"
"There's a bit of wrong information here. She'll be assigned to me," the doctor, Shiro, answered with a smile.
The doctor shrugged. "I see. I'll be going to the next one, then."
Kanae was grateful that the doctor assigned to her was not too serious. Little did she know that this peculiar doctor was actually unwilling to take this work if not because of his condition. Since someone offered to take the job from him, why should he refuse?
Walking out of the room, Kanae faced Shiro. "Where shall we go, Doctor?"
