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

Glancing up at the girl in front of her every now and again, Arunya couldn't help but wonder in silence.

She had posted her commission to get some help with her studies so she could be better prepared for the exams. The Department Head, for unknown reasons, has locked herself up in her lab and refused to come out.

Therefore, she could only request help from the Guild.

'She's fast…' Arunya thought to herself, seeing the efficiency of Alice. How she was able to pick the right tools and hand it to her. How she was able to deduct what needed to be done next and even make preemptive moves on the body in front of her.

'Where did she come from? Who did she study under?'

Even without saying what she needed at times, Alice had it prepared. To Arunya, it felt like she was working with someone who was extremely experienced with the physiology of an Abyss Beast.
