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.

Nali Family Elders
Ring! Ring!
"Hello?"
"Is this Laura Nali? There's a meeting at the family residence in half an hour to discuss the businesses. We expect you to come as fast as possible."
Kanae stared coldly at the phone in her hand. It was the mansion's phone and not her sister's personal phone, so she was the one who picked it up. Laura came home late last night because of a meeting regarding Kara Company's future direction. She was not exactly sure of the content, but it seemed that they wished to expand the business even when the situation in the city was unstable.
After all, they couldn't bear to lose the opportunity to earn more profit just because the condition on the street turned unsafe.
'They truly love to dictate her.'
