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.

Thane's Farewell

After finishing their meal, the three made their way back to the Hunter's Guild as Thane was going to help them one last time. He was going to help them resolve the current investigation regarding the death of the Lord so they could travel freely.

While Alice and Ria wanted to see how he would resolve this, Thane simply shook his head and had a 'private' conversation with the Branch Leader.

"What do you think he's gonna do to him?" Ria asked as a bad feeling surfaced in her heart.

The way Thane smiled while reassuring them sent a chill down her spine.

"Erm… Probably going to reveal a bit of his power right? Maybe a bit of coercion." Alice tilted her head as her question was answered rather quickly.

Opening the doors, Thane left the room with a satisfied smile while the branch leader looked pale in his seat. The fear in his eyes was prevalent as Thane threw a card at Alice.
