Rebirth

Opening his eyes, Alex saw himself in a vast forest filled with roars of terrifying prehistoric beasts, so I didn't die but I somehow landed in a forest huh, Alex looked around warily, carefully searching his body for traces of injuries, suddenly he grimaced in pain, he felt like his head was going to explode, and after what seemed like an eternity, he opened his eyes and marveled inwardly, "Arcanum" a world of swords and magic, the previous owner was attacked by a bunch of assassins, alongside a few other young geniuses who were also sent to the desolate forest to temper themselves, little did they know that they were being targeted by some nameless assassins, and of course Aiden stayed as bait so the others could use the teleportation rune to return to the clan, in short he was massacred by the assassins and left to die, allowing Alex to cross over and fuse with the body, his predecessor was an uptight young fellow, a little foolish. but that was bound to change soon. He spoke resolutely, no matter what, I'll make sure I find out the root of those scums and wipe them out in one fell swoop, once I'm strong enough, flash, the remnant soul of Aiden acknowledged Alex and then vanished into the void since I have been given a second chance and a new name, then I'll accept the change and reach the pinnacle of power, at this moment, a surge of information gushed into his mind, my cheat has arrived, he squealed in delight, at the center of his heart laid a tiny golden drop of blood, luckily the previous owner was a blood mage, a rare ability with unknown potential, using the information from his inherited memories he moved his consciousness into his heart, finding a drop of golden blood, he touched it with his intent, and then he suddenly vanished only to find himself in another land....oh no, I think I died and this is heaven!!! But then he realized, it seemed I was in a hidden dimension of sorts, so beautiful, a world of nothing but golden-colored beauty. From the smallest pebble to the largest boulder, it was all incomparably beautiful..... breaking out of his thoughts, he saw something he would never have expected, two golden cute little rats were fighting, but the strange part was the land, it caved in, yes, fist-sized dents were all over the place, these little abominations caused this huh, Aiden took a few steps back and squatted, then he took a punch slamming his fists into the ground, good lord, he nearly screamed in pain and shame, this little ones are stronger than I am huh, suddenly he smiled, there's no way they are more intelligent than I am, right? before coming into this hidden dimension, he was already at peak iron tier so it was easier to use magical spells, cutting his palm, he willed his blood to flow like water toward the two ignorant bastards who kept fighting like no tomorrow, then he chanted one of the spells from his inherent memories, blood cage, a blood red cage formed around the two fellows, bringing their fight to an abrupt stop, they clawed and gnawed at the cage, but it was futile, on the surface Aiden looked successful but he was struggling with the amount of power from this little things, pumping out more blood, he tried to compress the cage, squeezing them with every strength he could muster, he could feel it, they were so tenacious and filled with near endless vitality, Well if your bodies are so strong, why not see if your organs are the same, realizing his mistake, he changed his approach, the blood cage instantly transformed into several tiny blood needles, he sent half into their noses and the other half into their anus, it was like cutting through paper, a few seconds later, they were dead, looking at the two rats covered in golden blood, sigh golden blood huh, flash flash, two streaks of golden blood lights left the rats and entered the middle of Aiden's brows, clutching his head that threatened to burst, he held himself from balling his eyes out, after a whole minute passed, he revealed a satisfied expression, their blood granted them immense strength, most of them didn't even know how to use blood outside their bodies, with his fresh knowledge, Aiden squatted down and placed his palm on the rats and absorbed their blood, turning them into dry husks in a matter of seconds, smiling widely, a crazy idea was forming in his head, he had to try it out, coincidentally, some random harmless looking rabbit was calmly moving around, clearly enjoying itself, until it suddenly screeched loudly, Aiden almost let it go, it was simply too cute, an old man once said, beautiful things bring destruction, sorry but I just have to squash you, the blood inside the rabbit had turned into a set of knives, ravaging it from the inside out, the cute little rabbit died with a permanent grimace on it's face, a streak of golden blood light flashed and entered between Aiden's brows, his mind seemed to have broken a bit more shackles, he could feel it slightly, his thoughts were much better than before, if he could evaluate himself he'd say, he just grew from a regular idiot to a normal person, sigh when did I get such thoughts, pointing his index finger at the dead rabbit, the blood in it surged into Aiden's body, his power had not improved a bit, but his strength had been reconsolidated, he was getting stronger at an impossible speed. after what felt like thousands of hours, with Aiden bullying his way through the horde of bronze-tier creatures and actively absorbing their blood and essence core. Aiden's red-colored blood had long evaporated while he was farming away, now filled with golden blood, he could feel it, he would always be invincible in any realm, that was an unchanging fact, he had now reached the low bronze tier, he knew how many cute furry beauties he deprived of life just to reach this stage, unknowingly a whole day had passed and Aiden was thrown out of the hidden dimension, he had already exceeded the limit of his mortal body, he could only return tomorrow.
