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

There are 4 main hiding spots between her and the wall. Trees, natural grooves in the ground, the river and some rocks as this small river seemed to be used as a small fishing spot.

Hiding behind the tree, Alice narrowed her gaze at the guards stationed above the wall.

Since this was a little further from the main gate, they were mostly focused on seeing if anything was approaching.

Licking her fingertip, she felt the current of the air before plucking a leaf from the tree. Attaching a small fragment of her shard onto the base of the lead, she controlled it to flow with the wind and raised it into the sky, towards the guards.

Once they were distracted by how the wind managed to blow a leaf this high up, Alice took this chance to dash towards the rock.

She couldn't go any further as they looked towards the tree after seeing it was a leaf.
