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.

Patience

Liam took a deep breath and swung at the first boulder.

He almost used Transfiguration by instinct, but stopped himself right before he did.

At one point, Liam's swordsmanship was mostly based on speed.

But ever since his bodily strength had increased to such an extent, he switched to a strength-based fighting style.

That was why the Dusk Blades were made. 

They were vicious, cruel and bloodthirsty weapons. 

That pretty much summed up Liam's fighting style.

But now, he was forced to try something else. 

As Liam swung across the first boulder of the thousand, he calculated the least amount of strength needed to split the boulder in half.

His Black Blade ripped through the top of the marble sphere, cut through the midsection and…

…got stuck inside the sphere.

"Failure."

Liam frowned.

Again, the Trial restarted, and Liam was blinked back to the start.

'This is gonna take time.'
