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

Widening her eyes, Alice's hand clenched tightly as killing intent seeped from her body. Just thinking about them made her blood boil but she closed her eyes and bit her lip.

If she's too hasty, she'll never be able to achieve her goal.

Killing them on sight is good and all but what truly mattered to her was rooting out every last piece of scum within the family. Be that her father, brothers, scholars or even the chef. The Zenia family will be no more once she was done with them.

Taking a deep breath, Alice calmed her mind and approached the port, wanting to see who it was.

In her mind, she could hear Alyss complaining that they should go kill them all immediately, but Alice ignored it for now.

Leaning against the wall near the entrance of the port, she peeked over and saw a group consisting of seven members.
