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.

Investigating The Slums

Looking at the mountain of corpses, Alice could feel a dark power similar to the feeling the heart gave her. Only this time it was far more condensed.

'What is this feeling…' Alice furrowed her brows.

Seeing how the cluster was gathered, she could feel her emotions started to shift. At first, it was simply annoyance towards this sight but then transformed into anger.

And finally, blood lust towards those that caused this.

Glancing over to Ria, Alice noticed that Ria seemed to feel the same as a myriad of emotions washed over her face before settling on anger and bloodlust.

'Not good, we need to step away now!' Grabbing Ria by the arm, Alice jumped back before making a cut on her arm.

She wasn't sure if this was going to work but if it was part of the Abyss, her power should come in handy.

Activating her second Sigil, a violet flame manifested on her arm as her blood started to evaporate, turning into fumes as it calmed their mind.
