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.

Storming the gate (3)

"Let's team up."

The brown-haired girl stood with her back to him. She didn't turn but he heard her question. Instead of replying, he glanced at the area in front of her. It was littered with corpses. 

'She is strong.' Hex's attack shattered the ground and threw the incoming horde back. Her attack rendered many immobile, even killing many. 

The sound of retreating steps indicated the withdrawal of the first group. The sight of their retreat incensed the creatures. They overcame their shock and resumed rushing toward them. 

The group around Hex readied themselves to fight. Hex, however, didn't place much hope on them. Apart from the boar-like fellow with the bushy red beard and the Esmeralda, he didn't sense anyone of note. 

But they weren't useless. The incoming horde was huge but consisted mostly of Demons and a few Fiends. The group of Knights would be enough to withstand them and allow Hex to preserve his energy.
