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

At the end of the training session, Allura had a plan for Alice.

"I'm not sure how this will work just yet, but I'll leave that to the blacksmith I'm going to commission it from. But once the fighting stops, I want you to not use your second Sigil. The device I'm thinking of getting made would be one that allows you to control your flames little by little. That way, you can get used to controlling these flames without having them explode and hurt your allies." Allura explained. Having the device ready wasn't something she could get done within a day.

'If I want to get something accurately made, I'll need to take Alice to meet him so that he can judge her power for himself. The fact that I need to use a skill I've refined over the years to deal with it already speaks volumes of its power. But, it's not an accurate estimate.' Allura thought to herself.

It was about time they moved cities.
