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.

After leaving the appointment building, both Alice and Selen made their way to the factory section while looking at the token in their hands.

Compared to the other tokens that she's gotten in the past, there wasn't a wisp of Abyssal energy on it. Rather, it's a completely man made key with moving parts and shimmering crystals housed in a small compartment in the centre of this medal.

"The governor was pretty scary wasn't she?" Selen suddenly spoke up as Alice glanced up in confusion.

"Was she? I thought she was rather chill." Alice replied, recalling the twitching ears and fluffy tail.

Once again, the desire to pet them arose in her chest but she managed to suppress the feeling.

"You call that chill? I thought she was going to bite my head off if I wasn't careful." Selen shivered.
