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

The goal of this test was to see how fast these young Hunters could adapt to this pressure and resume their usual activities.

Just because they crumbled under the pressure initially doesn't mean they were eliminated. Instead, it was a chance for them to experience this pain without the dangers of a beast lurking around the corner.

While the rest of the crowd got the standard test, Garret continuously raised the pressure for both Alice and Ria.

Watching them stand perfectly still, the only visible reaction was the two of them clenching their fist and keeping their eyes focused. Beads of sweat would drip from their heads, but they maintained their defiance against this pressure.

'These two are monsters…' Garret thought to himself in shock. At this point, he had already raised it to the point where five star Hunters would have difficulty against them! If he was to go any higher, it may pose a big danger yet the principal hasn't told him to stop here.
