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 Hellish Journey
A bitter fight awaited Ryan and the Old Man. As they were familiar with each other's style, they could easily block the other party's attack with ease.
"Your hand is as hard before," Ryan commented when the Old Man blocked his attack using his hand.
"You should know that I have higher physical strength compared with normal people."
"I know."
Separating themselves, they moved back a few steps. It took a split second for them to launch themselves towards one another once more, attacking the other party heavily. Rain of blows reached either side as they were able to guess the direction and the plan of one another swiftly.
Neither side wanted this fight, but they had to fight.
"Old Man, you're still only using your fist blindly."
"You too, only swinging your bat like a fool," the Old Man retorted.
Bam!
