Synopsis

Tell me, slut, do you think you belong here?" Despite the venom in his words, Seraphina refused to back down. With her chin lifted defiantly, she held his gaze unwaveringly, her eyes burning with a fire that matched his own. "I belong wherever I choose to be," she countered, her voice steady despite the fear coursing through her veins. A smirk played at the corners of Alexander's lips as he closed the distance between them, his breath hot against her skin. "Oh, how bold of you," he taunted, his voice low and dangerous. "But you forget your place, little slut. You're nothing but a commoner, unworthy of even gazing upon royalty." Seraphina's heart pounded in her chest as she stood her ground, refusing to let him see the turmoil within her. In that moment, with their eyes locked in a battle of wills, she realized the true extent of the danger she faced. To achieve her goal of vengeance, she would need to navigate the treacherous waters of desire, even as she endured the scorn of the man she sought to destroy.

Chapter 1Chapter 1: Shadows of death

The memories of that fateful day haunted Seraphina's dreams, etched into her mind like scars upon her soul. She was just a young girl when the crown prince's forces swept through her homeland, leaving destruction and despair in their wake. Among the rubble of her once-thriving village, Seraphina's world shattered irreparably.

She had been the eldest of three siblings, her younger brother and sister her constant companions in a world torn apart by war. They had laughed together, played together, and clung to each other in the darkest of times. But when the crown prince's armies descended upon their village, their laughter turned to screams, and their bond was severed by the cruel hand of fate.

Seraphina could still hear the echoes of her siblings' cries as they were torn from her grasp, their lives snuffed out in an instant by the merciless soldiers of the crown. She had watched helplessly as her brother fell, his innocent eyes pleading for salvation that would never come. And her sister... her sweet, gentle sister, silenced forever by the brutality of war.

In the aftermath of the massacre, Seraphina was left alone, her heart consumed by grief and rage. But amidst the ashes of her shattered dreams, a seed of vengeance took root, fueling her every thought and action. She swore an oath of retribution, vowing to avenge her siblings' deaths and to make the crown prince pay for his crimes.

Years passed, and Seraphina honed her skills, biding her time and waiting for the perfect moment to strike. She trained tirelessly, mastering the arts of combat and subterfuge, all the while nursing the flames of hatred that burned within her. And as news of the crown prince's impending visit to her city reached her ears, Seraphina knew that her moment had finally come.

With a steely resolve, Seraphina set her plan into motion, determined to make the crown prince suffer as she had suffered, to make him pay for the lives he had destroyed. For she knew that only through his downfall could she find the justice and closure she so desperately sought.

As she stood on the threshold of her destiny, Seraphina's heart beat with a fierce determination, her eyes ablaze with the fire of vengeance. The shadows of her past loomed large around her, but she refused to be consumed by them. For she was Seraphina, survivor of tragedy, bearer of a righteous fury that would not be quenched until justice was served.

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. Discord: https://discord.gg/vrdTSkj8Va Author Notes: This is my third book, going to take what I learned from before to improve. 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.

His strides are long and confident, heading in my direction like he knows exactly what he wants. He stops before me, and my head tips back. "How is that possible?" His voice drops to a rumbling whisper. Now that he was close to me, the burning ache deep within started to throb and palpitate. His body tensed, and then he was on me, nose against my neck, inhaling deeply, one hand on the side of my hair, pinning me in place with his hips. My head tilts back, unable to stop myself from giving into his touch, exposing my neck more to him, his chest rumbling as he licks the side of my skin, kissing and nipping, placing his scent over me. I am completely and utterly at his mercy. I vaguely hear material ripping, and then his warm hand cups me. "You're not finished yet," his voice is thick and deep, and it shoots straight to my tingling, pulsing core. His touch is almost possessive, and I nearly beg him to do whatever he wants with me. "Should I make it better?" His whisper is a caress against my ear before he nips the lobe, a bite promising that this would not be tender. - Daily chapter uploads -
