Reili

Having spent her childhood confined in chains, Alice was a child who knew neither love nor joy. Scorned by her family while being tortured in the name of the greater good for years, she grew numb to all feeling and thought. That is, until one day, a man in black offered her a chance to escape.

There were once rumours widespread of an endless hell, a land of glorious death and dreadful opportunity. Fools went in search of it, and the clever never ventured into it. Only when its baleful mysteries spilled unto the earth did all hear its name — the Abyss.

A single drop of its blood could give someone the power to control shadows, move faster than sound, or strength greater than the strongest man. Yet, it all came at a cost; the blood would always make sure those who consumed it became part of the Abyss, with one exception — Alice. Cast away by her own blood, it was her destiny to rot in a gilded cage.

But, that fateful day changed everything. Gifted a second chance at life, a chance to turn her life around and claim vengeance against her family, a chance to dive deep into the Abyss and gain the power to govern her own fate, Alice took his hand, unaware of the destiny unfolding before her.

Author Notes: 
This is my third book, going to take what I learned from before to improve. This book will be focusing on plot, action, depths of character bonds and overall a darker tone/take on this cruel fantasy world I've cooked up for this book! 
If you give this book a try, I hope you enjoy! A very different experience and tone to Nanomancer Reborn.

Abyssal Awakening

Upon arriving at the gates of the city of Zadash, they were asked to present a set of ID as well as a travel permit.

Naturally, Allura had both and they were allowed in rather easily.

Compared to the Slaughter Docks, Alice noticed an increase of Hunters compared to civilians. If the Slaughter Docks had a ratio of 1 Hunter for every 10 civilians, in Zadash, it was 1 civilian for every 3 Hunters.

Peeking her head out of the carriage, Alice couldn't hide her excitement as she was curious to find out what their Sigil powers were like. Having experimented with her own, she now understood that each Sigil had a new layer of depth to them. This understanding also allowed her to see that she had gotten VERY lucky in the fights within the coliseum.

Had they fully understood how to utilize each Sigil, she wouldn't have even been able to approach them without getting shredded to pieces.
