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.

Jon Aida’s Reappearance
Lima School, Hidden Building
Inside one of the rooms, a man was busy typing in front of numerous screens in front of him. The room itself was dark, emitting murky and dark feelings for whoever saw it. Only the light from the dim lamp and the screen filled the room, yet the man paid no heed as his attention was fully focused on the screen before him.
"Ah, I fail again," the man groaned. He picked up a large bottle of beer that he placed near his table. Gulping the content down, he finished a large amount of drinks before he was satisfied.
As he was about to work again, the door behind him opened and Vena walked inside. Her eyes showed no trace of emotion as she stared at the man before her.
"Jon, they want the information."
"Not now," the man, Jon Aida, replied with annoyance. "Tell them to give me more time, Sis."
"He's already impatient."
