The Stonehearted Knight

Heaven favors the strong and wealthy. Hex realized that the day he was thrown out of the cloister and into the slums. He vowed to become the baron and show what being strong meant. To forge his own destiny, Hex scavenged the mountains, braving the cold solitude with a smile. At last, one day, he gained his chance on the verge of life and death. Even then, society and Fate tried to interfere. Faced with death, his Will didn’t waver and he gritted through, forcing his Heart to awaken. The Stone Heart in his chest defied his destiny and helped him write his own. Emboldened by his Heart of Stone, he walked the path to his dreams. His dreams, however, threatened to put him in the middle of the crossfire between Powers that could destroy Earth and Sky. Hex couldn’t allow his dreams to shatter. So, he sought to destroy all those who threatened his dreams. Follow a young man on his quest to fulfill his dreams, even if it meant to destroy Heaven and Earth. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, I have a discord.

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.'
