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

With all of their belongings now packed up, Alice and Ria decided to do one last round of shopping before leaving. As they were going to be travelling for quite a while, especially with how much of a detour they took, they needed some clothes to change into in case their current outfit got damaged.

For Ria, she decided to buy some eastern clothing consisting of a sleeveless kimono, her lightning gloves, a long skirt that was split on the side for leg movement, and a pair of boots. Not only that, Ria had also bought some hair ties to tie up her hair into a ponytail, while Alice decided to let her hair loose and flow freely. Her outfit choice mainly consists of dresses and large off-shoulder jackets.

With the two of them spending their coin earned through gambling on clothing, they now had 35 gold worth of travel money left, almost what a normal family would earn over the course of four weeks.
