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.

Please comment if you want me to take it down.

Meeting

That question, only audible to Liam's ears, lingered in the air.

Liam lowered his head in silent thought, then raised it with a distant look.

Liam didn't answer.

…But Eve blinked out of existence, and she didn't return.

Liam shook his head.

He felt the connection between him and his mother wane as he grew stronger, and now… there was just a thread left.

He honored her memory.

But that was it.

What was done was done.

Eve was gone.

And Liam would live.

What's the point of heartbreak?

Of loving someone?

In the first place, Liam questioned the point of relationships.

What use were they if everyone he learned to love died because they were unable to keep up with him?

No thanks.

With just two weeks, there wasn't much for Liam to start any major project.

All he could do was skim over what his new inscribing and forging capabilities were.
