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.

You Reap What You Sow
Sakura greeted the guests with a smile plastered on her face. She was already tired of dealing with numerous people for hours. Unfortunately, there were still a lot more people she had to entertain. It didn't help that her fiancé was not here.
"Where's that Jon?" she glared at the servant by her side.
"Replying to Young Miss, Young Master drank too much. He's now resting in his room."
Sakura's face darkened. Did it mean that man left her to deal with the guests by herself? She truly needed to complain to her father about this. Having such a detestable fiancé was truly annoying.
"Amanda, bring me a drink."
There was no reply and Sakura's mood plummeted even further. She looked towards her empty side and wondered where that girl went.
"Where's that annoying girl?"
"Young Miss, Miss Amanda went upstairs a few minutes ago. She hasn't returned," a servant answered.
