Abyssal Awakening

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.

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.

Desperate Measures

Granted, the choice of wounding herself was rather extreme but it was the only way she could think of getting out of this situation.

Through her trials, she estimated that the ability of the beast was the same as her own blood. One that messed with the senses. Otherwise it wouldn't explain how the pebbles she threw never came back.

Since it was an ability that messed with the senses, she'll use the same strategy to defeat it.

Walking around the area where she's been imprisoned, she made sure to sprinkle a little of her blood in every corner, spacing them out evenly so the fumes could reach as far as possible.

The only issue with this strategy was how much blood she could afford to lose before she started to get dizzy and had to stop.

It was also a way for her to prepare for future battles. If she could mentally calculate how much blood she is allowed to lose, she could make plans around that value.
