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

"What's going on? I'm pretty sure I finished all of my commissions." A tired voice sounded out as Alice and Ria saw the owner of the voice.

They had expected the head of the blacksmiths to be a large muscular old man or woman but instead, it was a young man with a rather slim physique. Even Ria seemed more muscular in comparison.

He had short crimson hair and wore the standard blacksmith's attire consisting of a black shirt, pants and an apron with tools hanging on his belt.

Handing him the letter, the young man skimmed over the contents before furrowing his brows.

"Alright. Let's make it quick then. What kind of weapon do you want?" He asked while tossing the letter on his table.

"Well what weapon do you recommend for lightning users?" Ria asked curiously, wanting to gauge the skills of the young blacksmith.
