The Second Life After 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!

in the year 1925, an event unlike any other forever changed the course of human history. A celestial phenomenon, known as The Gates, brought destruction and rebirth to the Earth. What began as a mesmerizing meteor shower turned into a cataclysmic force, reshaping the planet’s very landscape. Cities crumbled, oceans swallowed coastlines, and the sky itself seemed to burn with the fury of the gods. From the ashes of this apocalyptic event, strange portals—The Gates—appeared across the world. These gateways led to otherworldly realms filled with ancient treasures, including powerful crystals that could generate limitless energy. But greed followed swiftly, and those who ventured into these mysterious lands faced deadly creatures that emerged from the depths. Those who survived these encounters were forever changed. Exposure to the Gates awakened extraordinary powers—abilities that defied logic, granting superhuman strength, elemental mastery, and powers beyond imagination. In this new world, the strongest rule. Governments formed to control the powers of the Awakeners, individuals who harness these abilities, while private guilds and corporations fought for dominance over the Gates and their treasures. Amidst this chaotic scramble for control, friendships are tested, and jealousy brews between those who rise and those left behind. In 2025, a young man steps into this dangerous new world. He is one of the rare few born with the potential to control unimaginable power, but his journey is fraught with peril. As he unravels the mysteries of the Gates, he must navigate not only the monstrous creatures that lurk within but also the shifting alliances and rivalries between those who seek to use the Gates for their own gain. In a world where power is everything, will his abilities define him as a hero or a threat? And when ancient gods begin to stir, will the bonds of friendship survive the weight of destiny?
