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

Upon stepping out of the shadow, the three of them came face to face with Kaden who was standing in an arena suspended in the sky and connected by bridges.

There were four pillars around the centre while large pillars containing blue flames lit up the area on the edge.

"So who wants to be first? I assume for your looks that you want that tall kid to fight first?" Kaden asked while keeping his hands in his pockets.

Both Alice and Ria nodded their heads as they didn't allow Luke to reject this arrangement. With no other choice, he could only sigh and prepare himself to fight someone he didn't know much about.

But considering the fact that he could train Alice and Ria then it meant he had to be on guard.

Finding themselves a place to sit down, Alice and Ria wondered how Luke was going to fair against Kaden.

Looking above their heads, Alice could see four Sigils above Luke while Kaden had nine.
