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.

Wells Family Cruise
"Young Master, Old Master is looking for you," a servant bowed deeply in front of Jason.
"Father is looking for me?"
"Old Master asks for your existence in his place in an hour."
"I understand. I'll head there."
As the servant walked away, Jason turned his body around. He made sure the door was locked before he sighed to himself.
"Rei, can you go home by yourself?"
"Don't underestimate me," Kanae rolled her eyes. "You should focus on doing your job as the young master of Wells Family. The future of the family is in your hand."
Jason smiled wryly. "You should go home. Laura must be worried about you."
"I know. Don't worry."
The ship slowly made its way to the deck. Kanae slipped away when there was a chance. With light steps, she quickly made her way back to the mansion. Standing before the mansion, she looked at the gate in front of her.
Home sweet home.
