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.

Side Story 1: A Soldier Named Ferdinand (3)
(Special mention for web novel [without space between the two words] reader Piku1309)
…
Months and years passed. The war with Country M lasted for some time before the country emerged victoriously and resulted in several treaties that were favourable to them . Meritorious soldiers received a reward and brought glory back with them as they returned to their cities.
"Don't you have a family with you?" Ferdinand asked Aria, who had tagged along with him.
Aria shook his head slightly. "I was born out of wedlock and entered the military after my mother's death. I don't even know who my father is, so I don't have much hope to find him."
"You can come with me."
"Yes, Sir!"
Ferdinand looked out of the car's window. He was promoted to be a major general, one of the youngest major general ever in history as he was still in his mid-twenties. However, his heart was always thinking about the deaths of his former team members.
