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

"Rise and shine, it's time!" Allura shouted, waking both Ria and Alice up.

Lifting the two over her shoulders, she left the carriage before placing them down and gesturing for the driver to get to a safe location.

"We're here. Me and Gin will be watching from afar. We won't interfere unless you are close to death. After all, the moment we interfere marks your hunt a failure. I want to ask you again in case you have any second thoughts. Are you sure you want to hunt the Blood Widow?" Allura asked.

Alice nodded. There was focus and commitment in her eyes.

Allura smiled with satisfaction. "Alright, When you come face to face with the beast, remember to designate it as a target of your hunt and prepare for a fight to the death. Ria, once again, the key is to find out the perfect moment to give Alice your support. Ideally, you want to keep your distance so that Alice doesn't have to worry about you if you are discovered. Okay?"
