Born in Blood

His mother died when she gave birth to him, his father a physically abusive alcoholic. Life is not kind to Darius King. Darius would have dreams of being in a world of magic, but alas, his dreams would always end. He hated life, and life hated him, so he ended both his and his father's. When reincarnating into a peasant-like lifestyle as Liam, in the town of Ucladd, Darius realizes he has entered the world of cultivation! With his ambitious, ruthless, and curious nature combining into one, he paves a bloody path to power. Shifting his gaze from the Earth towards the Sky, nothing will stop him on his path for strength. "I will touch the stars... or die trying." ==================== Note: NO R-18, R**e, Romance or pre-marital handholding. I take no pleasure in writing such things. There's a bunch of killing and gruesome descriptions though. The novel is a bit slow in the first chapters, but after that, it picks up and gets significantly better. Also, the power system is similar to BotDS, but I've asked the author for permission to use it. It's also heavily inspired my writing, but the beginning is where its most prevalent.

Masterpiece

Liam questioned whether or not his answers would affect his chances of joining the group. 

The Zeniths could definitely tell if he lied or not… but being truthful worked against him.

In reality, Liam's intention for joining was just to reap the benefits that came with the Temple of Shadow.

He wanted to keep away from the public view and steadily grow his strength. 

Even sacrificing plentiful resources that other Sects might provide in exchange for safety.

He didn't care about their goals and missions of vengeance. 

Unless of course, his own revenge against the Royce family, which he wholeheartedly intended to carry out.

In the end, truth was the only option. 

Something told him an old man like Verium valued honesty over strength, and a low-ranking foreigner lying to his face would just be disrespectful.
