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.

Encountering the Heartless

Debris. Overgrown walls. Silence.

That was Hex's first impression of the ruin as he entered it. The gate was a hundred meters wide, followed by a path tens of meters wider than the gate.

After an empty area, he saw broken buildings on both sides of the path. 

'According to the map, this used to be the market district, similar to Notrelune.' Hex believed that they built Notrelune mirroring Notresol.

There were no markings on the map for the market area, indicating no to few Heartless roaming around. It made sense. If the scouts roamed these places frequently, they perhaps cleared it.

Hex raised his head. The sky was still clear, and the sun shone brightly, but Hex didn't feel its warmth. Neither was there any breeze inside the city.

'Even though this place is open and well-lit, it gives a similar feeling as a crevice inside the mountains.'
