The Stonehearted Knight

'Why can't life be simple? I just wished to be the next baron of Grindeston. Now I have to face the world and Heavens above, only because of the damn stone acting like my heart?' Hex Darkenmane, scorned and despised by people and his fate, struggled in the dark chasms of the Endless Mountains to have one chance at becoming Blessed. Once he threaded the path of Knights, he would challenge the baron and gain everyone's respect. But things weren't as simple as he imagined. Only after gaining a Blessing and starting as a Squire did he learn the truth about the world and the Heaven governing over it. The baron's power knew no limits, Heaven wasn't as benevolent as preached, and his origin wasn't as simple as he believed. To make things worse, his master didn't seem interested in teaching. He landed in a battle between powerhouses and Heavens and was confronted with his origin. But like he never despaired in the deepest chasms of the mountains, he never considered giving up no matter how high the odds were stacked against him. "Give up? Why? Isn't it just the entire world and the Heaven around it, coming at me? Even if I stand alone, I won't be disheartened. Step by step, I will thread on my foes, going beyond Heaven itself. The road is long and lonely but don't pity me, for I don't pity myself. Toward others but especially towards myself, I am stonehearted." _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, I have a discord. Join, please. https://discord.gg/EPGbDykXW3 A/N: WEIRDNESS I started to write after being tired of system, harem, and R18 novels that seemed copied from each other (I AM NOT DISSING ANYONE). I decided to write my own story, trying to blend traditional fantasy with web novels, adding weirdness as the main spice.

Disaster strikes again (1)

'Tomorrow I will leave the ruin.'

Hex was already a week inside the ruin. He hunted mostly during the night as the amount of prey was greater then. He used the daytime to rest and explore. Between rests, he also continued to refine the crystals. 

Hunting in the ruin was certainly lucrative. He had already gathered over a hundred Fiend crystals. With these, he expected to gain between a hundred and fifty to two hundred drops of energy. 

'The layout of the market district has mostly stayed the same but there are multiple red marks at the exits towards the other districts.' 

Hex wandered around, hoping to catch a few Fiends more. He planned on leaving the ruins in a day. The reason was his agreement with the Merchant Union and Tarquin. On his own, he managed to gain over a hundred crystals. Those two should at the very least have an equal amount to refine.
