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.

The distance to the rooftop was short. It didn't take a long time for the two of them to reach the room. Looking at the night view, Shiro smiled lightly. He always liked the night, filled with stars yet the surroundings were completely dark. It was the best time for him and his friends to make their move because no one would be able to watch them.
No, to be exact, it was hard to find them when they were surrounded in the darkness.
"Would you like to set up your gun?" Shieli asked.
"Yes. You can stand at the back."
"Ok."
Watching Shiro setting up his gun, Shieli was silent. The storage room had a flat room above. It was a perfect spot for Shiro because he could set his gun on top of the thick railings made of cement that Kevin had built there. It would also provide protection for his body in case they realized that he was sitting here.
