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

Pulling her arm back, Alyss could see the spear crashing toward the arena.

If she punches too early, not enough power would gather. If she punches too late, the energy would disperse in every direction.

She had to time it just right so the energy was fully focused in one direction with the sole goal of destroying that spear.

Alyss wasn't sure if it was her focus reaching a level far beyond the usual but it felt as though time was slowing down.

The reactions of the crowd, the falling of the spear, everything was slow.

She could see the structure of the spear, the way the energy flowed through its form. How it maintains its shape and the connection between it and the caster.

But it was different to Alice's energy sight. The strands of energy were blurry and hard to make out clearly. Instead, what she could see was the structural integrity of whatever she wanted to hit.
