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

After arriving at the tavern, Alice immediately asked for a room, some mead for herself and spicy skewers for Alyss.

Even though she wanted to gather some more information, she couldn't help but admit that the fatigue was catching up to her.

When paired with her injuries, a good night's sleep was what she needed the most rather than information.

Making arrangements to meet up with Selen again tomorrow morning, Alice made her way back to her room and threw herself onto the bed.

"Ouch…" She groaned, feeling the pain across her body.

Relaxing herself in the bed for a moment, she sat up and glanced at her arm.

Peeling the bandages off, she could see the state of her body clearly. Bloodied scars riddled her arm with parts of it threatening to burst if she wasn't careful. In fact, some of them have already burst and Alice could see her flesh all the way down to her bone at certain parts.
