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

Seeing Hualing suddenly charging towards her, Alice was a little surprised but decided to go along with it. She was here to see how the Vermillion clan generated power in their punches while also interrupting the wedding.

After all, her new would-be drinking buddy seemed distressed so it's only natural for her to crash it.

Taking a single step, Alice gave up on the unfamiliar martial arts that Alyss had learned and instead went with her own style.

A mix of palm strikes and kicks to either neutralise or divert attacks.

Palm striking Hualing's wrist to send the punch off to the side, Alice went in for a neck chop only to see the blue halo above her head radiate a luminescent energy.

At that moment, an invisible force crashed back into Alice's body, pushing her palm back and breaking open her guard.

Seeing a gap, Hualing grabbed Alice's wrist and went in for a punch against the chest.
