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.

The Price For An Ally

Waking up in the morning, Alice stretched her body with a yawn while Selen was still sleeping. After such a tiresome journey back, it was no surprise.

Leaving the room carefully, Alice took a deep breath of the cold northern air.

Even though Torgeir said he was going to make an announcement, there has been no news about it so far. To Alice, it seemed like just a day off for everyone, with only a few guards on shift.

'Seems like most of the Civilians are already packed up to leave this place.'

'It makes sense. Unlike the warriors, they don't have a means to protect themselves. Who's going to save them when warriors can barely save themselves?' Alyss shrugged. If it was her, she'd be doing the same. In fact, she might even be the fastest to escape.
