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.

Ria

Hearing her name, Alice paused in surprise.

She remembered that Allura had mentioned the name of the person they were going to meet. The granddaughter of Gin, Ria.

'Allura only mentioned her name and didn't say what she was like… She said Ria was fun and that the two of us will get along pretty well and that we'll both be under her care.' Alice mused to herself while Ria was bewildered by Alice's reaction.

"Erm… Hello? Is there something wrong with my name?" Ria asked in confusion. After hearing her name, Alice simply turned silent while staring at her.

"No, sorry. Was just surprised." Alice shook her head.

"Surprised by what? Bah, forget that. Do you need some healing blood? Your wound seems quite serious." Ria frowned as she could see Alice's cloak being drenched with her blood.

"It should be okay. Just be careful, since poisonous. Let's leave the forest first. There are some Spectral Maidens on the way out. Dangerous." Alice warned.
