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, Alice could feel the heavy gusts of wind pushing against her body, trying to make her fall as she reached up and grabbed hold of a piece of rock that was sticking out.

Making sure she has a good foothold, she grabbed her dagger and jammed it into the gaps before changing its shape.

It was to prevent her from falling too far as well as a safety precaution.

"Fu…." Letting out a deep breath, Alice glanced down and saw how high up she was and turned her attention back to the peak.

The mountain was 80% sheer cliffs while the rest was steep slopes.

Compared to her, Ria was having an easier time since her body strength was far better.

"Wrap the thread around me. Take a break. I can carry you up while I climb." Ria suggested, knowing that Alice was tired. After the initial walk under pressure followed by the sprint away from the Bone Stalker, she was positive that Alice's body was crying out in pain even after their rest.
