'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.

In the year 3450, Earth is a graveyard of its former glory. A devastating virus unleashed horrors that reshaped the planet, wiping out most of humanity and twisting life into grotesque abominations. Amid the ruins, a man walks unscathed—Keir, a survivor cursed with a mutation that grants him eternal youth and regeneration. Immune to time and death, he has watched centuries pass in a world overrun by monsters, with no hope of salvation. But Keir doesn’t seek salvation. He seeks freedom. Haunted by solitude and driven by an unrelenting hunger to escape the planet, Keir will stop at nothing to break free. His pursuit of ancient technology, the remnants of humanity’s golden age takes him into the depths of forgotten ruins and the heart of mutated wastelands. In his quest, he leaves a trail of destruction: rival survivors betrayed, innocents sacrificed, and settlements razed. His humanity has long since withered, replaced by an unyielding resolve and a chilling indifference to the lives around him. As decades stretch into centuries, Keir grows colder and more ruthless, his obsession consuming him. But the cost of freedom is steep, and Earth is not so easily escaped. In a world where life has mutated beyond recognition, Keir must confront not only the horrors that hunt him but the horrors within himself. For what is freedom worth when it’s bought with blood, and who is Keir if he abandons the last vestiges of his humanity? In a story of darkness, ambition, and the price of survival, Keir will learn that the greatest prison may not be Earth—but the monster he has become.

Several decades since the last Human War, and the World is almost back at its former glory. The scars of the last War can now only be found in the history books. After two millennia of self destruction, humanity finally managed to unify as a group under the rule of the Six Council. Under its regime, the remaining 156 countries around the world swore an oath to work toward peace and harmony. War becomes a taboo, and any country who breaks this rule will be punished severely. Technology progresses relatively fast in this so-called Utopia. Full dive technology that allows the user to experience a dream like reality known as VR (Virtual Reality) became really popular especially to the gaming industry. A world to escape humanity’s Utopia. Unlike reality who is heavily regulated by the rules and regulations of the Six Council. Virtual Reality becomes a symbol of freedom, far from the shackles that binds the current society. 2064 Human Era, a VRMMO (Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online) game, was launched on its Closed BETA test, Hollow Earth Online. With the game under the most popular genres: Action, Fantasy, RPG (Role Playing Game), many people were keen to try and play the game. After all, HEO's predecessor Arcadia Online, a game released by Atlas Inc. several years ago that garnered a few million players around the globe. Unlike Arcadia, HEO’s world is scaled like the world, a virtual reality under a single instance. Just like a typical fantasy rpg, HEO has one thing that reality lacks, “Magic” a phenomena that can’t be explained nor recreated by science. A world where magic exists and you can be whatever you want, or so everyone thought. Several thousand players worldwide received invitations to participate in the three-day Closed Beta Test event. Asriel, a college student, was among those who received an invitation email from Atlas Inc. to partake in the event as a Beta Tester. HEO seemed like just another fantasy VRMMO from a well-known developer, living up to everyone's expectations. However, little did they know, it was actually the prelude to an apocalypse unlike anything humanity had faced in the last two millennia.

Though it may be a dream weathered, crumpled, fading, I held on without surrender. Through each repeated day, running toward tomorrow’s light, I became a knight, resolute and bright.

She said, with a smile. "You have no right to be here. We cut ties remember?" He said, glaring at her fiercely. "I am not here for you. I am here for the family. I still have people I treasure here. So let me through or else..." She completed her statement by majestically drawing out her sword. So many secrets lay hidden. Injustice in the form of justice. Lies, fabricated to become truth. Deception roams around, unleashed. And a Naive girl, who had never seen the shadow that lurked around in the abyss. Will she Survive? Will she fail? It is up to you to find out.

Is a game truly a game if the world it contained existed somewhere infinitely far away from us? And once that world is consumed by corruption which led to gods searching for anyone that could help them cleanse it, would that be a blessing? Once someone is forcefully taken away from the home that he loved, what would that person do just to get back? And even if there is a way to return, would they even survive the unfamiliar world in the first place? Unlikely, but there are individuals who might be able to pull it off.

In the year 1018 of the Heavenly Golden Dragon Calendar, the Riverscale Academy hums with life, where young aspirants of the Riverscale Clan seek to master the ancient art of Vein-Weaving—a spiritual connection between the physical body and the life-force known as World Qi. Among these individuals stands Xianlu Koichi, a prodigy with a lineage clouded by hardship and limitations, but fueled by an unyielding resolve to rewrite his destiny. Xianlu’s journey begins within the hallowed halls of Riverscale Academy, where his uncle Yuhen Koichi, a scholar of immense wisdom despite his frail body, imparts ancient tales of the Tea Koi—magical koi infused with the essence of different teas, revered for their power to protect harmony. These stories, filled with battles against the malevolent beasts, inspire Xianlu not just to study, but to transcend his own limitations. For while his veins may falter in conventional cultivation, his mind and understanding of Vein-Weaving offer him a unique path forward—a way to forge a legacy that resonates with the spirit of the legendary Tea Dragons. Through trial and sacrifice, Xianlu discovers his place among the students of Riverscale, earning respect through his keen intellect and compassion. Unlike others born with noble bloodlines, Xianlu relies on the purity of his heart and the unbreakable connection to World Qi. His vision goes beyond power—he seeks to help others who have been told they are unworthy, to carve a space for those deemed ‘less than’ in a society obsessed with lineage and strength. Yet, as Xianlu continues to grow, a deeper destiny stirs within him. It is in the crucible of hardship and failure that he awakens as something more—a master puppeteer of fate itself. Through the mastery of Virtue as his weapon, Xianlu perfects the Riverscale Clan according to his will, reshaping its future with wisdom and compassion. His threads of destiny are not bound by strength alone, but by the subtle manipulation of balance, weaving a new era where the marginalized rise, and harmony is restored through unity.

He, Leo, turned out to have an incomparable capacity for comprehension. (Synopsis subject to change).

"What does it TRULY mean to be a Knight? The answer to that question has been lost for ages. It's a lot more than just clading yourself in armor that "glistens like polished stars" or going around swearing chivalry or the likes. The true answer to that question…well, even I don't know that. However, my father once told me, to be a knight means being able to rise to the challenge. To face the darkness squarely… even if it's so much easier to just look the other way. Honestly, back then, I didn't understand what he meant... at least not until AFTER that day... My name is Rhys... and this is my tale..." *** This story follows the adventures of Rhys Galahad, a young knight who sets out to reclaim his birthright, the Celerian Empire from the clutches of Alistair Vladen, the current Emperor and the man responsible for murdering his entire family. Aided by friends he made a long the way, Rhys's path is set to be a rough and treacherous one, and as he gets pulled deeper into it, he finds himself face to face with a far bigger picture than he could possibly imagine, making him question everything he knew… Or thought he did… What does it TRULY mean to be a knight? A question he has to answer… lest he be consumed by the darkness… Enjoy… PS: Hope you all enjoy my first book on this platform. The story might be rather slow-paced but bear with me please
