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.

Nolen School C
"Eh? You're not coming to school today?" Misae held her phone as she asked in disappointment. She has been waiting to see him again after school, but it turned out that he didn't even come.
"I'm sorry. I have something that I have to do."
"It's fine. Take care of yourself," Misae ended the call and sighed. She noticed three pairs of eyes looking towards her curiously. Her eyebrows creased as she thought hard about an excuse she could give.
"Is that Mike?" Tommy asked.
Misae pouted. "Yes."
"It must be hard to have such a hardworking boyfriend," Laura commented as she laughed.
"Don't laugh!" Misae pushed Laura playfully as if she were angry. It was sometimes disappointing going out with Mike. After all, that big man was very busy.
"I'm sorry, Princess Misae," Laura acted like a servant, despite the obvious playful grin on her face.
"That's better."
