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.

Nyer's Suggestion And Cayla's Answer

Looking at the destruction caused by their training, Nyer couldn't help but rub his chin with a small smile on his face.

They had been training for around two days now and in that time, Alice had made considerable progress when it came to reaction and optimization. She's tried to use the ideas they talked about before but it was still too difficult to implement during a practical fight.

Which is why he focused on her hand to hand since trying to learn too much was also bad. It was good to refine what she knew thus far.

Alice's greatest achievement during the two days of training was succeeding in landing a single slash on his body. It was shallow and he was holding back. However, she had still succeeded in breaching the defences of an Abyss Lord.

That in itself was far more impressive than what people could accomplish throughout their entire lives.

"Still alive?" Nyer called out with a laugh as all he heard back was groans.
