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

"That does make things a little difficult you know?" Alice sighed deeply while scratching her hair.

"Is the commission really that important to you?"

"Unfortunately it is." Rowan reaffirmed as Alice put down her hands and sighed once more.

She had wanted to avoid this but there was no helping it. She'll make it quick.

Turning around, Alice looked as though she was about to leave when she exploded with blinding speed and shot towards Rowan, surprising the party.

"FIGHT BACK!" Rowan shouted, raising his shield at the last moment and barely being able to block Alice's sword strike.

"Ohya~ Old man that was quite the fast reaction speed." Alice chuckled as she expected him to be knocked out immediately from her surprise attack.

Of course, her turning around was simply to let Ria know not to kill them. She wanted to spare them if she could since it was simply a conflict of interest.
