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

Digging out the heart, Alice narrowed her eyes and held it against the light.

It was barely noticeable but there was a thin transparent veil surrounding the heart. The purpose was unknown but compared to the rest of the body, the heart seemed to be in pristine condition thanks to this material.

"Can I get another sample? I want to compare them." Alice asked as Elyn nodded her head and made her way out before wheeling in another table with a sample placed on top. This time the corpse belonged to a woman with feathers and wings protruding from her body.

Opening up the chest, Alice dug through the flesh before finding the heart.

Just like the first sample, there was a thin veil covering it.

"What do you know about this thin veil?" Alice asked but Elyn only tilted her head in confusion.
