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.

Shadows In The Mind

After getting some food, they decided to book separate rooms at the inn.

Using the excuse of clearing her mind, Selen decided to have a walk around the city.

Countless thoughts swam around in her mind as the feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy plagued her. 

No matter how much she wanted to convince herself, it simply won't disappear.

A permanent shadow in her mind, lingering, watching, smirking.

For the brief moment when she felt proud of the skill she created, that pride was instantly shattered with Alice finding new ways of improving.

Glancing up at the sky, Selen took a deep breath and sighed.

"Why am I even trying?" She asked herself with a bitter smile.

No matter what she does, no matter what she tries, she simply can't keep up.

Frustration.

Gritting her teeth, tears began to form in her eyes as Selen wiped it away with her sleeve.
