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

Taking a deep breath, Tristan could sense that these robed figures had a deep connection with the soul.

"Alice! We'll talk later!" Tristan called out before a scarf of lunar light appeared on his neck.

A helmet manifested around his head as he reached his hand up and summoned a greatsword.

Behind him, a halo spun to life as he crashed down and rushed towards the robed figures.

One of them tried to capture Tristan using the black mist but he stabbed his sword down and a giant array of lunar glyphs expanded with him in the centre.

The black mist was immediately dispelled as he pulled his sword out and released a vertical slash!

One slash was all it took for the robed figure to be cut in half before breaking down into mist that was absorbed by the sword.

Furrowing his brows, Tristan realised just how abnormal these figures were and split his greatsword into two longswords.
