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.

Walking away from the arena, Alice couldn't help but frown at the result. With how quick he recovered from the poison, she doubts that he'll go down even if she was to use her own blood. His resistance was simply that high.

Not only that, his physical power was off the charts.

'For him to be able to move at normal speed while the world was slowed down, so effortlessly at that… How fast would his full speed be?' Alice asked herself but the answer evaded her.

Whatever it was, it was clear that she was no match for him. And the best chance she had, he was still fast enough to recover.

'Unlike others, Abyss Blood does not leave a permanent boost for me. My base strength will forever be below other Sigil users. The only time I'll get a permanent boost is when I obtain a Sigil, the moment I siphon the beast's strength for myself.' Alice sighed inwardly.
