Abyssalcrawler

Long before the emergence of lives on the continent, the ocean gave birth to civilizations. There was a civilization that once shined like a pearl in the present Abyss Sea, where there were huge cities and intertwined transport networks. The civilization was known as Marine. Throughout history, the Marine have experienced several wars and turmoils. They have long since lost their glory, and many of them have been forced into slavery. Nana was one of them. Nana was introverted and weak, often beaten by the master. Every time she was beaten, she hid into the shell of a large conch she found. The conch made her feel incredibly safe. When she was not working, Nana liked to collect shells or play with fish and shrimps. She loved these little guys and regarded them as her precious. Nana also made a friend - he was one of master's guards, but a cheerful and caring person. He often took care of Nana, and stood with her when she was treated unfairly. Those small and lovely things, as well as the company of the guard, became a ray of sunshine into the life of Nana. Nana was destined to live as a slave for the rest of her life because of her origin - until that event happened.

During one of the master's trips, Nana and several other slaves were ordered to carry the master's seat. This was not the first time she was ordered to do such things, but she tripped and fell over a rock accidentally. The unbalanced seat tipped to the side, and the master sitting inside was thrown to the ground. The master was furious and ordered all the slaves who were with him today to be executed. Nana tried to put the blame on herself - at least pardon the other innocent slaves - but it did nothing to calm the master's anger. Watching her companions die one after another in front of her, Nana could not stand it anymore. She screamed, struggled and cried in despair. When it was finally Nana's turn, she had lost the ability to think, trembling and cowered by the reef and kept praying. If there was a god in this world, the god must have heard Nana's cry for help - and at that moment, the current around Nana suddenly changed. First it was a subtle flow, then it intensified, and after a few seconds it became a roaring dark torrent. This dark torrent was as powerful as a hurricane. It surrounded the master who was obsessed with killing in the blink of an eye. Along with the screams, it pushed him into the dark abyss of the sea. Only then the master's guards realized what had happened and pointed their swords at Nana. At that moment, the figure of a fish guard stood in front of Nana. "Run away and never come back." The guard said. Nana came back from the panic, forced to hold back her tears and nodded. The current around once again surged, carrying Nana to run far away.

★ A wandering life was full of sufferings, hunger and cold, Nana even had to steal food to survive. She sneaked into the back kitchen of a tavern today, trying to grab some food as usual. She quickly got what she wanted, "Sorry, I'll give it back." She apologized softly and turned around to leave. Suddenly, a stranger appeared in front of Nana, blocking her escape route. The woman was tall, with purple skin, long silky hair that fell around her waist, and a pair of black wings that emerged from her back. Nana was stunned in place for a moment - she had never seen anyone so beautiful, or more importantly, she hadn't even noticed that there were other people in the room. "I'm not going to forgive you, thief." The woman in front of her spoke. Her voice was elegant and melodious. But Nana felt only fear, her subconscious telling her that this stranger was powerful and that she would never stand a chance. She once again activated her ability to dive into the current, her years of wandering had long made her familiar with her abilities. Nana had not escaped a few steps when a high-heeled shoe stepped on her conch. She could not move a single inch with all her strength. "You have a very special ability." The strange woman leaned down and whispered in Nana's ear, "I give you two choices, come with me or ...... be killed by me. Which one do you want to choose?" For a moment, Nana suddenly remembered those lovely fish and shrimp ...... and the guard who always protected her like a big brother. "I want to live." Nana's answer was decisive.
