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.

'Life changes in a blink.'

Hex peered through his closed eyelids, observing his new environment. Within an hour, he had gone from infiltrator to prisoner to patient. 

Although his plan to reach the Temple district succeeded, the subsequent steps required quick thinking and adapting. It couldn't be helped though. Before going through the gates, the steps were laid on solid information and a lack of vigilance from the three teams in the noble district. 

Perhaps in their early days, they would beware of others discovering them but with the passage of time and lack of enemies, their awareness dwindled. 

But on this side of the gate, he lacked information. He expected the fate of the 'goods' to be bad but he didn't know their precise situation. Even now, he knew they were imprisoned with others but for what and why, he didn't know.
