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/rT4bezy5 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.

OWNED BY MR MAFIA

Sold to the highest bidder to pay off a blood feud, I never imagined I would be the pawn in my father's fatal game. Still, here I am before Enzo De Luca, the most vicious mafia leader in the city. Though appealing, he is cold, deliberate, and as lethal. Though my heart races just from his proximity, it is his touch that ignites me. My body betrays me and reacts to him in ways I am powerless over. And I melt as he softly, commandingly says my name. Enzo loves neither me nor another. In his deadly kingdom, I am only another bargain, another transaction. But every time we are alone, the conflict between us snaps—desire becomes a terrible addiction. Although I detest him for everything he stands for, I yearn for the way he consumes me, body and soul. He has made it quite evident—our marriage is more about power than love. Still, every angry gaze and every snatched moment in the shadow reveals something different. Benevolent underneath his icy façade lies something broken that appeals to the darkest sides of me. But depending on a man like Enzo may mean losing everything. Bound to him now, for better or worse, I am caught in a world where loyalty is brittle and treachery carries a bullet. Our friendship gets more perilous the more truths about his empire I find. And as the past calls for us, I have to question myself: will our passion be the thing that ruins us both or can I survive loving a guy like Enzo De Luca? Burning in his arms is me. But in his universe, I could roast alive.

Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

【Exhilarating】【New Ultimate Path Plus Points】【Dry Humor】 The world plummets; who shall uphold the heavens? Demons spawn from earth and sky, the Taoist stands valiant and resolute. I am Yi Chen, 'Chen' as in dust, styled Yi Chengzi, eighteen years old, fearful of violent evil spirits, fond of making money. With a cold heart and ruthless hands, he transmigrated to a bizarre world where goblins and malevolent spirits dwell, becoming the eldest senior brother of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, and as his master lay dying, he entrusted Yi Chengzi with the duty to uphold the path of benevolence and righteousness, to take good care of his younger Taoist brothers; he promised he would. However, his understanding of the path of benevolence and righteousness differed slightly from that of his master. What is benevolence? Slicing evil men and ghosts in half is benevolence. What is righteousness? Smashing the heads of evil men and ghosts into their chests completes righteousness. After his master's death, unable to awaken 'spiritual essence' for cultivation, he set upon an unorthodox path of cultivation with the help of the Golden Finger. Facing the wolves eager for a fight after his master's demise, he struck with heavy fists, understanding the true essence of righteousness. Confronting the malevolent spirits that stood in his way, he naturally reformed them with the iron fists of love. He slew demons, exorcised evil, and tested his sword against various spiritual cultivators, enjoying the landscapes of the world. When he reached the summit and looked around, he was shocked to find that demons were but minor afflictions and that this land and sky were falling... A millennium-long scheme, an eternal enigma, slowly unveiled itself. Strange, it has arrived, and it does not die or perish. Witnessing this scene, Yi Chen laughed. Even the malevolent dogs passing by his Taoist abode had to endure a couple of slaps; how dare someone be so disrespectful to him? Yi Taoist stomped one foot and soared into the heavens! The onlookers exclaimed in shock, "Taoist, stop fighting, the great 'Dao' is nearly worn away!"

Veilshard Nexus: Chronicles of the Multiform Divergence

Dr. Elaine Kastor, a brilliant yet reclusive theoretical physicist, never imagined her life’s work would end her life. In a catastrophic experiment that defied explanation, Elaine’s death marked the beginning of a far stranger story. Awakening in a fragmented multiverse held together by the mysterious Veilshard Nexus—an ancient, sentient system governing countless realms—Elaine finds herself bound to a new existence, both gifted and cursed. Inhabiting a foreign body with inexplicable abilities, Elaine discovers she is now reliant on the Nexus to survive. This vast, enigmatic network assigns her cryptic “Divergence Mandates”—missions that tether her to the Nexus’s fractured worlds, each brimming with political intrigue, arcane constructs, and alien logic. Her first destination, Liradelle, is a medieval realm where magic and ambition clash, yet hidden beneath its complexity lie whispers of a far-reaching conspiracy connected to the Nexus itself. But Elaine isn’t the only one entangled in the Nexus’s chaotic threads. Rivan, a reserved wanderer with an unexplainable bond to the fractures, and Ardyn, a fierce warrior caught between loyalty and survival, are also players in this cosmic game. Together, their paths converge, revealing threads of betrayal woven by the Nexus’s creators—the Custodians—who shattered their own creation in a misguided bid for control. As Elaine grapples with the rules of her rebirth, she discovers the fractures are alive, their chaotic energy holding memories, purpose, and hidden dangers. To unravel the truth of her resurrection, she must master not only the Nexus’s arcane class systems and magical sciences but also the unstable mechanics of the Multiform Divergence, an ultimate skill that bridges fractured realities and alters the laws of existence itself. However, the Nexus is no benevolent guide. Its secrets are veiled in riddles, and its stability depends on sacrifices that demand more than strength or intellect. Elaine’s memories grow increasingly unreliable, leaving her to question whether she is a pawn in the Nexus’s game—or a catalyst for its unraveling. In this sprawling journey of survival, power, and identity, every step through the fractures leads Elaine, Rivan, and Ardyn closer to a singular truth: the Nexus doesn’t simply connect worlds—it redefines the meaning of existence. But at what cost? Combining intricate worldbuilding, relentless intrigue, and high-concept fantasy, Veilshard Nexus immerses readers in a multiverse alive with questions of purpose, identity, and the fragile balance between chaos and control.
