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.

Allura's Inquiry

Feeling a strange kind of numbness spread through her body, Alice groaned softly and sat up. She was now in her own room at the inn and realised that Allura along with the others must've carried her back.

'How long was I out for… They must have questions. Apparently, I was about to die because there were three sources of power in my body. Allura must've seen it, too. And yet, here I am.' She sighed.

Raising her hand, she caressed her left eye, where the second Sigil had been engraved upon her body.

"First the right, now the left. Urg…" She complained before jumping out of her bed.

As she moved her body around, the numbness eventually faded away. Despite her small movements, Alice could already feel a new surge of strength within her. After all, the Maiden she had killed was a pseudo-four star beast.

Hearing a set of footsteps coming up the door, Alice recognised it to be Allura's as she opened the door and greeted her with a small wave.
