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

Panting heavily, Ria was no longer smiling as she and Wess have been at a standstill. No matter how she approached him, he would always have attacks ready to ward her off.

On the other hand, Wess couldn't end the fight either as Ria was able to parry everything he threw at her.

They were in a stalemate with no cards left to play.

'I've already used up every trick I have up my sleeve. I don't know if he has any more tricks but I have to end it now.' Ria thought to herself as she was already running out of stamina. The fatigue of having lightning constantly surging through her body was now pilling up and even if her new technique allowed her to fight without issue, her own stamina was a limiting factor.

Taking a deep breath, Ria charged forth once more but this time she reduced the orbs she absorbed. Instead, planting them across the arena while parrying Wess's blade attacks.
