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.

Humiliation

Liam once again entered his temporary room and renewed his clothes, before healing his wounds and replenishing his 'Ora' reserves. 

The Oni mask he wore was now completely charred – turning black and even more intimidating – but thankfully, the wooden material held on.

Before long, the giant 'TV' turned on, displaying the remaining brackets with the contenders hidden by a question mark.

From 12 players, only 6 remained.

Liam would need to fight twice more to seize victory… but he couldn't hide his true prowess for much longer.

Among the participants he saw fight, there were a few that could really force him to go all out – mainly the 'Ogre', the 'Ace', and 'Bullet'. 

The rapidly changing brackets started to interchange with a sharp sound effect, gradually settling in one place.

After a dramatic, tense pause, the question marks were unveiled, revealing who would fight each other in the semi-finals.

Liam grinned ear-to-ear.
