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/rT4bezy5 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.

So, is it really like a game system? Will I really level up, just by clicking a simple yes? He used to run a gambling den, involving games so he had a basic understanding about them. Who knew that a person like me would encounter such a thing, he thought. 

Erick had never been a dumb person. He couldn't afford to be. If he had been less sharp or bright, he would have been killed by his own brethren. His life had always been at the edge of life and death. 

He immediately understood that somehow he had stolen her energy. He didn't quite understand how he had done it, but he would learn it in time. He decided to go with the flow. After all, what did he have to lose by trying it out, right?

He swiped his finger over {Yes} and hoped that it really would work. 

Hmm…nothing is changing? Is there a magic incantation to get this thing to work? 

Erick was still wondering what else to try when he saw the screen turn blurry. 

[Congrats!]
