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.

Resonance

As Liam's hand wrapped around the imp's wrist, he immediately summoned a petal's worth of essence from the flower – making direct contact with the imp's thick skin. 

The imp's face fell, and the others were too apprehensive of Liam to approach and save him.

He was on his own. To save himself, he let go of the spear, but he couldn't move a muscle.

Yet…

When Liam's dark-red flame made contact with the imp's skin… nothing happened at all. No wound or damage, not even a scratch.

Liam scowled. 

Just as the imp was about to lurch backwards and escape, Liam summoned his odachi and sent it flying through the imp's throat. 

SHING!

It pierced through, killing the imp instantly. 

Letting the simp live was too kind. Too many of them.

A second later, he unsummoned the odachi, returning it to his ring.

The imps momentarily paused, unsure of what to do next against such a difficult enemy.
