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.

Ria's Preparation For Arrival

For the next week, their schedule consisted of getting food, testing out new combinations and rest. Occasionally, Alice would visit the bar to enjoy some alcohol since she didn't want to drink all of her mead at once.

Ria on the other hand was tempted with the gambling tables.

After much persuasion, Alice agreed for her to try it out once. The result of which was Ria losing 25 times in a row and losing 30 gold in the process. In the end, she vowed not to play around with gambling tables. Instead, she would gamble at fighting arenas where she knows she could win instead.

Having lost 30 gold, the duo was left with 47 gold in total between them.

As for the young noble whom they ran into on the first day, he avoided them in the rare instances where they would meet. Having laid eyes on Alice, his face would lose colour and his body would tremble at the thought of what had happened before.
