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.

Groaning softly, Alice found herself laying down on a bed within the library. Both Allura and Kaden were working on some documents nearby.

Both of them had a serious expression on their face and even Allura was in a rare state of silence.

Her frown only deepened the further she read.

Sitting her, Alice held her head as her movements alerted the two.

"Ah, you're awake. Are you feeling better? What happened?" Allura asked, taking this chance to have a break from paperwork.

"Mnm, sorry. I'm feeling better now, how long was I out for?" Alice nodded with a small smile while Allura was checking her body to see if there was anything else that was wrong.

"You were out for 2 hours." Kaden chimed in.

Hearing this, Alice paused in surprise.

2 hours? She had only talked to Cayla briefly and nothing more. Yet that still knocked her out for 2 hours.
