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.

Plan

Another quick adjustment was made to the court.

Four versus four.

Just eight individuals remained. 

And yet, when the Adjudicator left, Liam expected some sort of tension to be relieved. 

Instead, the air grew heavier.

Not literally, of course. It was just that the stakes were extremely high, and the opponents were anything but easy to play against. 

Getting closer to victory meant that the loss of bitterness stung a lot more. 

Liam's eyes narrowed.

And he had no intention of losing!

Just then, the Sage took a second to speak with Queen Thyress and the General.

After a few minutes of strange back and forth, their lips unreadable through a blurry Isolation Barrier, there seemed to be a Position switch.

This time, the Sage took the General's place as the 'striker'. 

How the Sage managed to convince the old man of the switch was beyond Liam.
