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.

Holding Hands
Kanae stayed in Ryukalin Clan's residence and helped out with their work. One could say that she has been working a bit too hard as she was not truly part of them. Well, Kevin would just shamelessly tell them that she is his fiancé, though.
"Are you going to school today?"
"Hmm?" Kanae opened her eyelids. She looked at the young man who was sitting not far from her with his laptop on the table and his hand busy typing. "Kevin, what are you doing in my house?"
"You let your door open."
"You know very well that I won't be that careless," Kanae rolled her eyes. The first thing she did upon entering the house would be to lock the door back. "Also, how do you find this small house?"
"I 'ask' my uncle," Kevin closed his laptop and walked over to Kanae. Even though this was a small house, the bedroom alone was around two to three meters square wide, giving it enough space for bed, table, and chair. He bent over to look at Kanae's expression.
