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.

Lord Commander Nyer

"Are you showing your guest around?" Nyer smiled while sweeping his eyes across Allura and Alice.

Seeing Alice's reaction of hiding behind the tall woman, Nyer couldn't help but be confused by her reaction. Strangely enough, he could sense fear from her.

This should be their first meeting yet she was scared of him? Why?

"Mnm, Kaden told me to show her around. She's got some weird powers and quirks about her so he's talking with Nalem about it right now." Allura shrugged.

"I see… Anything I can do to help? Her Majesty has given me the day off so she can focus on the upcoming meeting. Personally, I'd want to handle any potential variables to make sure the meeting goes smoothly." He offered as Allura looked towards Alice who was hiding behind her.

"When did you become so shy? I know the commander looks a little scary but he's not that bad now, is he?"

Hesitating for a moment, Alice shook her head but didn't dare make eye contact.
