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

It didn't take long for Ria to come back from the space that Kaden prepared but her expression didn't look well.

Her face was pale and she didn't want to talk just yet. She simply apologised to Alice before returning to her room, causing Alice to wonder about what Kaden even showed her for her to be like this.

Once she was sure that Ria was safe and back, Alice made her way out of the dorms and towards the campus.

Just as she stepped out of her room, she remembered a question she should've asked Kaden.

'I should've asked her what's up with the principal's appearance.' Alice sighed.

[If mine master wishes to know I can answer that for you.] Cayla spoke up.

Once again, Alice was reminded just how nice it was for Cayla to be awake. A lot of her questions that she couldn't get answers from could now be answered because she was here.
