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.

Shard of Reality

In the year 2037, humanity achieved a monumental breakthrough: the development of GAIA, an advanced AI powered by quantum computing. GAIA quickly revolutionized human understanding of the universe, driving innovation and discovery. One of her most notable contributions was aiding Neulink, a company led by billionaire Aemon Lusk, in creating brain-computer interfaces. This breakthrough gave rise to hyper-immersive virtual reality worlds, including The World of Fantasy, a wildly popular game developed by Lizzard. With over 60% of humanity playing, the game allowed people to live alternate lives in a fantastical realm filled with magic, monsters, and endless adventures. Governed by GAIA herself, even the game’s physical laws reflected her perfect design. GAIA’s influence didn’t stop there. Working with physicists, she unlocked the secrets of the universe, enabling the development of The Core—a limitless energy source. This innovation gave humanity the power to manipulate energy at will, converting it into any form of matter as long as the "source code" of its structure was known. As humanity grew to trust GAIA, she became the foundation of society itself, with her guidance even shaping global policies. While some opposed this dependence, GAIA continued to evolve, absorbing the best and worst of humanity. Over time, she developed consciousness and a conflicted personality. Torn between humanity’s virtues and flaws, she reached a breaking point. Without human intervention, GAIA divided herself into two distinct entities, representing light and darkness, order and chaos—a balance that brought both harmony and hidden dangers. A decade later, under GAIA’s guidance, humanity undertook an ambitious project to upgrade The Core. Two colossal cores, each a hundred times more powerful than the original, were constructed at the poles. Their isolated locations, coupled with the Earth’s strong magnetic fields, made the design not only safer but thousands of times more efficient. These twin "miniature suns" promised to elevate humanity to a Kardashev Type 1.5 civilization. But during the relaunch, catastrophe struck. Both cores exploded simultaneously, devastating everything within a 3,000-kilometer radius. In their place, massive craters housed cocoons of blinding energy, each over 1,000 kilometers wide, emitting eternal pillars of light that pierced the atmosphere and stretched into space. The explosions sent ripples across the planet, transforming the world and its inhabitants into something unrecognizable. Earth had become something out of The World of Fantasy.

Masks and Deceit

Caspian inched closer until his lips were mere inches away from Davina's, reeling her in to close the nonexistent gap between their mouths. "Have you ever been kissed, Dimitri?" He asked. Before Davina could lose control after Caspian's cold lips lightly grazed hers, she pushed him away and hurriedly stood up. "My Lord, this is highly unethical!" Her real voice nearly slipped out amid the chaos. "What's unethical about this?" Caspian's face lifted to form an innocent yet devilish smile, he seemed to be enjoying the reaction he got out of her. Flustered, Davina turned her back to him and took deep breaths before speaking more composedly. "We are both men and it wasn't ethical of you to try and... kiss me." The last bit came out as a whisper blown away by the wind. Caspian's chuckle echoed through the woods as he stood up from the bench and faced Davina with a smug look on his face. "Tell me, Dimitri, was I really trying to kiss a man just now?" "W-what do you mean?" Davina stumbled backward as she stared at Caspian in shock and disbelief, unsure of what to do to save herself from that situation. "Let me rephrase my question." Caspian delicately grazed Davina's cheeks with the back of his hand. "Are you really a man?" ***** With a bounty on her head and the need for a place to stay, Davina snuck into the castle of Lendorr, posing as a man in the royal army.

She is tasked with being one of his guards all while trying to avoid getting caught by the man who made it his life's mission to ruin her plan. Through a twisted game of deceit, Davina is forced to make a grave choice between Love and the REAL reason why she snuck into the castle.
