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

"Hah~ So boring… She's been in there for, 30 minutes now?" Ria muttered, waiting by the mountain peak.

She was keeping her eye on the entrance that Alice made while also taking a note of the condition of the blood orb that was handed to her.

However, with nothing going on, Ria couldn't help but wonder if Alice had gone further than expected in the tunnels.

Thane didn't reappear either so she was left on her own to spend this time as she pleased.

Playing around with an orb of lightning, Ria's mind wandered to what Thane had shown earlier. How she should use her powers if the opponent is too annoying to hit.

'Cut off their path of retreat and fire my attack where it would cause them the most annoyance huh?' She thought to herself while pointing her finger out to the mountain range.

"Hm?" Furrowing her brows, she felt something was wrong as the ground shook for a split moment.
