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

"Focus! You're not sensing you're just scrambling!" Alyss shouted as she stomped in front of Jin.

Giving herself a low centre of gravity, she jammed her palm into his stomach, causing him to buckle over before following up with an uppercut.

As his body was flying through the air, Alyss grabbed his ankles, slamming him into the ground. The recoil caused his body to hover momentarily.

Taking this chance, Alyss twisted her body and hit him with a round house kick, sending his body crashing into a boulder, cracking it in the process.

"Don't panic, don't fear. Simply observe and keep observing. React not out of fear but out of calculation. Calmness of the mind, survival of the body." Alyss instructed, rushing forward.

Panicking for a moment, Jin gritted his teeth and jumped over the boulder to dodge her punch.

Alyss's body blurred, appearing behind Jin as she went in for a punch.
