This is a novel version of my playthrough of the game, Elden Ring. It follows the journey of the main character, the Vagabond, traveling across the lands known as the Lands Between, where a giant golden tree, called the Erdtree, resides, with his main objective being to be one the next Elden Lord. It should be noted that not everything that is told in this story will be exactly what happens in the game, as some minor things will be changed to fit the story better. Since this is based of an M rated game, the contents of this story will contain blood and gore, language, suggestive themes and violence. Readers discretion is advised.
After the ruthless Battle of Aeonia, Malenia found herself at the foot of the Haligtree. She was recovering her strength, slumbering, while also waiting for the return of her brother, Miquella. Until a Tarnished interrupted her sleep, saying her brother had been kidnapped, and petulantly offering to be her Blade, to fight for her. Little did the demigod know that this knight was no mere Tarnished. And that more than showing her where her brother was, he would show her a pure and sublime feeling, which transcended even the terrible and unforgivable Scarlet Rot.
The characters and fictional universe of Elden Ring, as well as the songs used as "soundtrack," do not belong to me. This is just a story made by a fan and to fans, intended for entertainment purposes only. I am not making any profit from this story.
