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

As Gin was steering the boat, he narrowed his eyes before gesturing towards Allura.

In the distance, they could see dark storm clouds with occasional flashes of lightning. They had already steered past several wreckages on their way here with monsters floating around the debris, those of which they assumed to be the survivors that unfortunately fell into the waters.

"Alright! Ria, Alice! Get ready. We'll be approaching them soon and I doubt they'll be happy to see us there." Allura called out as Alice and Ria made their way out of the sleeping quarters. Since the journey was going to take a while, after their training they took the time to rest up so they could be at peak condition.

Ria had already equipped the gauntlets and boots while holding the bow and a quiver on her back.
