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.

Sword Hardening

The test was teaching him something.

The baboons were adapting to him.

If Liam continued to use his best abilities, eventually, the baboons would learn how to counter them all.

And eventually, he'd be defeated by monkeys.

Literal baboons.

Instead, Liam put the odachi between his teeth and clamped down on it.

It was weird, biting a sword hilt. It felt unnatural and wrong. The odachi's long edge stuck out the side of his bared mouth, but it didn't cut him.

Liam strengthened his teeth a bit to better his grip on the blade. 

Then, Liam honed his focus and took light steps forward to the group of baboons.

At the same time, they took slow steps towards him.

Slowly, it became a jog, then a run, then a sprint, then a clash of blades.

CLING!

Six different baboons pressured him with his blades. Liam outstretched his swords to cover him as much as possible.

Gashes formed on his body, but his blood reformed them.
