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.

Visit for the Sick
Kale Company
Mike answered the call from the front desk, and he turned his head towards Kevin. "Kanae wants to talk with you."
"Give it to me."
He took the phone while the receptionist redirected the call to the Boss.
"President, I need to take two weeks off from work."
Kevin frowned. Two weeks were not short. Why did she suddenly want to take days off?
"What happened?"
"I fell down from the stairs and got hurt, so I have to stay at home to rest for two weeks," Kanae answered.
Kevin looked towards the reports that Kanae usually compiled. Unknowingly, he was already used to that girl staying near him and doing her work beside him. Having her skipped work for a long time was certainly not good.
"Can you do your work from home?"
"Pardon? I think it's possible, but not too much."
"I'll send it to your email. Also, next time you should just call directly to my phone. My number is 0123XXXXXXX."
"Okay, President."
