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

Peaking into the living room, Luke noticed that Xinbei had transported the two into his own pocket dimension for the trial.

"Is there something you need Lulu?" Xinbei asked as he glanced back with a smile.

"I wish to request some time off sir."

"Oh? I'm guessing you're going to hunt down your fourth Sigil then?" Xinbei raised an eyebrow as Luke had been researching his fourth Sigil for a while now but didn't make a move.

"Mnm. I may have bluffed and said that I also had four Sigils to my friend. But it's about time I hunt the beast since I've been tracking it for two weeks now." Luke sighed as he felt a little embarrassed by his actions but it had already happened.

He didn't think that Ria was able to grow at such an astonishing rate. He knew that Allura and Gin wouldn't let her take something weak, so the fact that she had gotten her fourth Sigil meant that her strength had reached a satisfactory standard for the two!
