'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."

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.

The Stonehearted Knight

The whisper came out of nowhere, but as soon as the voice reached him, the darkness faded, and he found himself in the middle of the inner space where his heart stood.

Opposite him stood the baroness, looking at him with a warm smile. Under her gentle gaze, he felt at peace.

"You have grown into a handsome young man," the woman said. Her voice was soft but clear.

"Y-yeah," Hex said, unsure how to proceed. "W-we need to find a door…Heaven's door…"

He pointed clumsily at the monolith. He felt his body heat up and his heartbeat accelerate.

"Are you nervous, son?" Hex flinched when she called him son. It felt strange. It felt…nice. He didn't reply and stood there, averting his gaze from her.

Suddenly he felt her arms around him. Before he could react, he was pulled into a hug. His mind went blank and his body stiffened.
