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.

Exploring The Capital

Opening the letter for her appointment once more, Alice could see that the time for their appointment was at 1pm.

But right now, it was 10am giving them around 2 hours of free time with 1 hour to find where they were.

Even though Alice was eager, she couldn't change the fact that they still had to wait.

In the end, they decided to understand the layout of the city first.

Egil decided to be their guide for the time being even though the appointment didn't include him.

The first thing Alice and Selen did was to acquire a map of the city due to its sheer size. According to Egil, as shown by the map, the city first began as just a single layer around the centre. But as Queen Verona gained power, the capital began to expand. There was once a point where despite being a new nation after defecting from Extalia, the Queendom of Verona couldn't be targeted easily.
