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

From her estimations, Alice guessed that there was an 80% chance that the top of the mountain contained fighters who were sparring at this moment.

However, she had no information about the place, it's formalities or whether or not they'll accept a spar with an outsider to begin with.

Therefore, the first step was to gather information!

'Let's see… we need to go look for Suyin so that we don't blow everything up that we touch. She mentioned that she was located in the region closest to the south so there's a bit of distance for us to cover.' Alice mused to herself.

Since the distance was long, it gives them more time to spar with people that she came across.

Making her way towards the base of the mountain, she was beginning to see more and more people with weapons strapped onto their back or waist.

If the previous area could be called the residential area and the markets, this was now the place for fighters.
