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.

Bottom Of The Ravine

"Ah… My child… My poor baby…" A trembling voice echoed out in the darkness. A voice full of mourning and sadness.

Alice didn't know who the voice belonged to but it brought a wave of sadness through her heart. A rush of pain through her chest but the voices did not stop.

"Why… Why must it be like this… Luthor… Please…" The woman's voice called out.

"Please… Why does it have to be her… Kill me if you have to… But why must it be her?"

In this darkness, Alice floated aimlessly as tears started to flood her eyes.

'Am I… Crying? Why…' Alice questioned herself as her mind slowly gained clarity.

The last thing she remembered was Allura wrapping them in her flames before diving down into the bowls of the ravine.

Remembering this, Alice snapped her eyes open and sat up while looking around her.
