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.

Epilogue 1: 10 Years in the Future (2)
Wells Family Residence
Stepping out of the car, Kanae looked at the fine mansion in front of her. For the past few weeks, she had come here more frequent. Even though her name was not registered back in Nali Family, she had come to meet with her sister again.
Ting! Tong!
"Yes?"
"It's Kanae."
"Oh, Sis! Come in!" Laura's excited voice could be heard from the voice transmission.
Kanae smiled lightly and pushed the door. There was an automatic system that allowed her to come inside without the need of Laura coming to open directly. She was already familiar with the layout of the house, so she quickly made her way to the kitchen.
"You're always so busy in the kitchen, Laura," Kanae smiled when she saw her sister coming out with a tray in her hand.
Laura shrugged. "I can't help it. Jason doesn't like to eat anything aside from my cooking."
"What do you put inside?"
