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 instant that Alice expanded her zone, all of the Zenia guards felt a chill down their spine.

Subconsciously, they reached for their swords before pausing in realisation.

"You've got to be kidding…" One of the guards muttered in disbelief, realising that her range had extended this far. If they were her target, she'd be able to attack them from down there!!!

As for Selen, this reaffirmed her belief that Alice was abnormal and that Jyn needed to take this seriously.

'But for her to be able to use zone… at this magnitude as well… Either she's been trained by someone experienced or she's just that talented.'

Even though she wanted to do a background check on Alice immediately, their business with the Underground has been… Complicated for a lack of a better term and using their services right now would prove to be difficult.
