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

"Aren't you rude. What do you mean what am I?" Alyss frowned as this would be a normal question had it been anyone else.

But the one saying it was the Will of the Abyss. If not even the Will knew what she was then what is she?

"Hmm… Are you a human soul? Or a construct? Yet you stink of countless beasts. What is the secret behind your conception I wonder." The Will circled around Alyss as she realised she couldn't move a single muscle in her body. She was subjected to the Will's every whim.

"Does it really matter what I am? Aren't you the one hoping Alice shapes up to be a good vessel? She wants to talk to you so why don't you go talk to her instead of dwelling on what I am." Alyss forced a brave grin as the Will leaned close to her face.

"Do you want to live a life away from her? Have your own body, control your own fate instead of being chained together." The Will asked as Alyss paused.

Does she want a life away from Alice?
