The Bottomless Abyss

Coming soon: The Bottomless Abyss 2

Wu Xiaoman is an ordinary resident of a coastal city. Then, one day, a world-shaking change takes place.

She discovers something strange along the coast, something she's never seen before.

And deep among the giant beasts of the sea, Wu Xiaoman unexpectedly sees someone she once couldn't bear to face.

Monsters from the deep keep attacking the city. At this point, Wu Xiaoman has a power that's difficult for others to notice, a power she has kept hidden. It is also her only curse.

Gu Xurang is the highest-ranking authority in charge of capturing the deep-sea beasts, and someone nobody else can figure out.

A little scene:

Wu Xiaoman cautiously peers through the glass wall at the little monster inside, finding it adorable. She has gone through layer after layer of hardship to make it here without being noticed.

But then... Hiss, why has it suddenly gotten so cold? In the next second, Gu Xurang lifts Wu Xiaoman right off the ground. With her back against the wall, Wu Xiaoman tries to figure out how to deal with Gu Xurang, who becomes so stern that he recognizes no one.

But Wu Xiaoman also knows that one night, Gu Xurang kept holding her hand until he fell asleep. This guy changes his tune way too fast.

Reader's guide:

1. This came from a dream I had. It's slightly dark, has a bit of an ensemble cast, and is a little illogical. Please don't overanalyze it.

2. The research institute isn't a real one. Don't compare it to the real world.

3. The monsters and beasts are made up, more or less. I dreamed them up a long time ago, so some things are invented.

4. I'll add more if I think of anything.
