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.

Night Banquet
In the hall that Jason had prepared, numerous people came to the hall. They were coming from prominent families in this city that managed to gain the spot to come here. It took a lot of effort for them to make Jason agree with their request to come here.
Jason looked at his friend. "Taro, you dress up better today."
Taro shrugged. Compared to his usual easy-going attitude, he looked more solemn and composed. His body had grown thinner because he was busy doing work here and there while waiting for his brother to wake up. The only thing that kept him going was his resolution that things would turn out to be better.
"I prefer dressing up simply right now," Taro replied with a smile. "It's easier to move using these clothes rather than the one that I usually use."
