The mad taint of their newfound strength triggered the Shattering, a war from which no lord arose. A war leading to abandonment by the Greater Will. Arise now, ye Tarnished.Ye dead, who yet live.The call of long-lost grace speaks to us all. A Tarnished of no renown. Cross the fog, to the Lands Between. To stand before the Elden Ring.And become the Elden Lord.
Words uttered by the Golden Order through the Two fingers, yet so far only one person has come close to reaching just the beginning of becoming the Elden Lord. Vyke was once thought to be able to end the chaos in the Land Betweens. Yet he too fell to his own folly. Once he turned against the two fingers he lost the ability to see the signs of grace. Sights of grace are only seen by special people to help them along the journey and in recent years Vyke was of the last to house this ability. He failed thy tarnished, and has failed thou lands. Some say he died, yet others argue he lives in a maddened state. Hidden from everyone due to his supposed to turn against the Two Fingers. Once a world full of hope with Queen Marika the Eternal and her then Elden Lord Godfrey. They brought peace to the lands but was it true peace? Marika kicked Godfrey out then married Radagon leaving his children behind. While breaking Queen Rennala to the point no one has seen her in ages. Maybe if Radagon stayed with Queen Rennala their children would be fine and everything would've turned out differently.
Once Vyke was lost the wars worsened, and Calied once a beautiful place was reduced to rot. Malenia, blade of Miquella not knowing defeat, gone. She disappeared after her battle against Radahn, who was reduced to yet a mindless beast. Eating anyone that dares challenge him. Malenia to end the stalemate between the two armies unleashed her scarlett rot, but the ploy failed. No winners were cast, just more lives lost in the war for Elden Ring shards. Two more demigods lost and more deaths to add on to the once great queen's sins. Radahn whose mind was lost to scarlet rot, his strength holds true as he holds back the stars. Before the war he refused to let his fate be guided by the stars. As part of the once proud Carian royal family, their fate is guided by the stars but he alone chooses to rebel. Maybe it wasn't fate, maybe Radahn was holding back hidden enemies only he knows the truth. Rykard, Radahn's brother who also happens to be another strong demi god. Was Eaten by a god snake, though was it to gain power who truly knows.
Ranni his sister, oh the things she set in motion that started the last known sighting of Queen Markia. Night of the Black Knives was painful for everyone because the first hope to save the Land between was gone. She Took Godywn the golden from Queen Markia, her favorite child. The one everyone was hoping to replace his father the great Godfrey yet it wasn't meant to be. On that night they took a shard of destined death, just enough to bring the first true death to the lands. Not only did he die, but so did Ranni perish the same night. That night Marika caused the great shattering which kicked off the war of the Elden Ring. Radagon was a failure of an Elden Lord who also went missing leaving the lands to have no true ruler.
With all the golden blood missing, or in some cases dead people began to lose hope in the teachings of the Two Fingers. Heeding the call of the once great queen, the tarnished returned to the Lands Between. To Queen Marika's dismay her last great ploy failed, each and every tarnished failure caused even more tarnished to give up. Many failed to even make it to Stormveil Castle, some ventured out never to be seen again. Knowing that the Golden Order hated them, some of the tarnished began to band together. Hunting down each other for sport, another failure in the eyes of Marika. Though one line of Godywin remained, he was yet another coward. Looking for power while refusing to train his own body, Godrick the coward was said to be doing horrible experiments with those related to the tarnished. Those rumors have yet to be proven true. He holed himself up in the walls of Stormveil Castle, protected by a strong Omen. Another blight that Marika herself tried to rid the world of.
I recorded these words to give you more information for the start of your journey. To show you, or at least explain to you what the state of what the world has come too. My memory has gone hazy but I tried to write all I can remember to give you hope. The soul I found fractured in the void in preparation of being the last chance of helping these lands. The lands I've always wished to protect, yet failed to do so. I've left journals only you can find explaining more info in hopes it'll help you along your paths. My chosen tarnished. I use the rest of my strength before he takes back over to give you one last advantage. Good bye my chosen tarnished.
Queen Marika
Welcome to the Elden Ring gacha system. As the first and last player Queen Marika has risked her life to give you the power to change the lands. Go forth, young tarnished grow strong and become the next Elden Lord. Or deny the will of the Erdtree and choose the path you wish to follow.
Click yes if you want to accept system
Click no if you wish to move on
Pain can be a blessing, it can let you know that you're still alive. In some cases you can use it to keep yourself awake. Opening up my eyes, the pain registered helped me to realize I'm still alive. As I tried to catch my breath, my vision began to clear as I was in a room that resembled a church. Each breath felt labored as liquid slowly began filling my lungs. Wheezing sounds filled the silence as I weakly tried to move my arms,but felt no response. I opened my mouth as if attempting to scream, only letting out a wet noise that was low in volume. Truly I not only was forced to reincarnate, but I was forced into a dying body. I turned my head, very slowly and noticed a woman all in white slumped over her body slowly leaking blood. I remember this from Elden Ring, Chapel of Anticipation. The starter for all tarnished, guarded by a grafted scion. This woman next to me also is my finger maiden. Probably killed by the same person who also tired to kill my body.
Choose Tarnished to accept the system and heal or deny and perish like the rest of thy otherkin.
I weakly just gazed at the words as they popped up in front of me. I thought maybe it was just a dream hearing Marika talk while explaining things to me. Elden Ring was the last game I played, and I was looking for lore as I was making my way through the game. But This isn't a dream, honestly it's a waking nightmare. Why did Marika send me to this fucked up world? Why did she out of all people choose my soul? What made me so special that I had to end up in a world torn apart by pain and death. Betrayal, families killing each other it's all fucked up. Tears rolled out of my eyes and I can't tell if it's from the pain of what feels like swords sticking out of my body. Or knowing I'll never see my mother and father again. All my friends and family thinking I'm dead, more tears came out of my eyes knowing who I had to become to just have a chance to survive in this world. With deep trepidation I willied the word yes in my mind since at the moment my arms were useless.
Welcome Gamer to Elden Ring Gatcha system, known as the land between this system is connected to all lands. Some even known only as fiction from your world, which you will have access to. Maybe even giving you enough power to travel to if you gain enough power.
So the land between in this reality connects to everything, that makes things a little interesting. I still have a chance to go home, that's my goal. Warmth began going through my body, but I don't care. I'll get stronger, stronger than any of these powers in the world can be including those damned demigods. I don't care about being Elden Lord. I don't give a damn about the shards of the Elden ring. I just want to go home.
As a starter we will give you five spins free (one being a template which will also heal you). Before giving out these we must connect you to your Finger Maiden. The maidens live to serve a chosen Tarnished, sharing their guidance and the wisdom of the Two Fingers. In your case your finger Maiden doubles as the power source to the system. The more runes you give her the stronger the system can be.
"Wait fuck my finger maiden is dead! Shit Markia if you can hear, give me the system, and even if I don't become Elden Lord I will at least work to free you!", I cried out in my heart. The warmth felt flooding through my body once again but I continued to ignore it.
Starting connection to finger maiden.
ERROR CONNECTION LOST
ERROR
No no no, I need this power. I'm dying,I want to live. I WANT TO LIVE. A surge of power began to flow through me as I couldn't help the tears dropping out my eyes. I can't die here, please.
Error Can't connect to Finger Maiden, taking power from the host. Power enough to use the basics of the system, everything advanced will be locked. As last the will of Marika I bequeathed thee system. With the power taken from you,there is enough to give you the starter pack as promised. Once given out you will be on your own tarnished. While I can offer some assistance to help with management of the system it'll be mostly inactive. But know tarnished your will, it's strong, stronger than you believe. Today you gained something never once seen in these lands. Once you can access your status screen I promise this power will be a great help instead of a hindrance. You'll have to find a finger maiden one that lost her tarnished to replace yours. Only then will gain full use of the system you're getting.
"THANK YOU" I thought as loud as I could to Marika, no Queen Marika. Even if it's only her will she still listened to my last plea. Though the warmth I felt is gone, just knowing I can gain back, strengthens my will to continue. I WILL GO HOME

One companion slot(can be upgraded). An inventory that can only hold 10 items(click for more info).
The words began to grow dim as I noticed everything around me began to flicker. Black spots began growing in my vision I. Knowingly I began to focus harder on the screen. I'm running out of time before I die. My blood is still pooling around my body as I start to go numb. "SYSTEM PLEASE DO THE SPINS"
Sorry tarnished, Issuing 5 Spins
Nicole Waterson, Companion(Epic)
Fuck no, common I need a temeplate at least one that allows me to heal. I believe she's the mom from Amazing World of Gumball, a show I didn't really like so I don't know much about. Hopefully she's not too useless.
Outfit Self Repairing, Clothes(Rare)Quirk Explosion, Power(Epic)
So i got self repairing clothes while useful is still ass! I remember that Quirk from My hero its um Bakugo's quirk. Hopefully the backlash doesn't hurt. Still I need to be healed and these won't help. Common Marika you promised me a template don't let me down now.
10 Senzu Beans, Item(uncommon)
With Senzu beans I can at least be healed, still a great resource to use in the middle of a battle. Honestly even though I'm complaining besides my companion everything I got is pretty good so far.
WuKong(Journey To the West), Template(Mythic)
Seeing the template I got, I realized how lucky I truly was. Not only did I gain WuKong, but I got the version during Journey To the West. Even though its before he became Budda. Wukong is One of the strongest beings ever and now just became his heir. Is this what the system meant about my will? Was my will so strong that I got lucky during this or did Marika just use what energy she could manage to give me more of an advantage? "System please claim all rewards then begin to assimilate WuKong's template".
Rewards Claimed
WuKong template used in the template slot. note to gain percentage you must either act like the character, train hard, or gain the recognition of said card. In some cases acting against what the ard will do can lower template progress. In the case of Wukong he willingly allowed himself to bind to you(being stronger than Queen Markia he has a choice to leave). Your Will alone and calling yourself his heir was amused so he chose you. Progress rose to 10% unlocking to of his abilities
He found my will amusing. That's interesting, I didn't know that the character would be alive. Though it makes sense that he would allow a portion of himself to be taken. It begs to question how much time did Marika put into the system before I got it. How many tarnished died? Did she make this before or after the Night of Black Knives? Just many secrets does Markia the eternal hide from everyone.Though my mind was racing my mind full of questions, I can feel my bad slowly begin to regenerate. It felt like a small warmth, a little bit itchy yet not painful. I allowed my ability to heal myself and activated my status screen again. It looked just like an average rpg though a lot of options were locked.

WAIT WHAT!! Why did WuKong lock my template system? It doesn't make sense wouldn't he want me to grow stronger? I mean I don't know a lot of the lore of Wukong other than he challenged the gods and kept pranking them. Sigh I'll figure it out later it doesn't make sense for me to dwell on it for now.
Notification Received, system override voice clip opened automatically!
Fuck no way im being hacked on the first day! I'm not even healed as tears streamed out my eyes!
Heir of mine(you really need to choose a name),
Stop with self pity! It's ME THE GREAT MONKEY WUKONG!
Tears instantly stopped as I sweat dropped, honestly hoping to understand even part of what's going on at the moment.
I'm sending this message to explain about things I'm taking away from you thatll end up benefiting you in the long run. So don't worry about not having a template actually I myself will modify the system to not even see the template section anymore! When you progress in good manners I myself will give you rewards! Hweaww-HEEE-hee-heghgh
A voice sounding just like the character Black Myth: Wukong game began to echo in my ear. The voice sounded youthful though full of wisdom. The laughing though was high pitched and annoying.
Oi don't call me laughing, no what please do ole hair of mine! Hahaha! Freedom is something I believe the most in. A little hypocritical seeing how I took away the ability to gain templates but they're useless to you. It's for a very good reason. I assure you it'll be useless. I'm more powerful than most characters you'll gain. Not to sound cocky, or maybe I do meh it'll be redundant to have others you'll have to deal with. And the best part is that one of the first 3 abilities I gave is part of that. You're basically a walking um it's what it is called from the anime of your world i'm the sharingan. YES YES one of my powers is to copy any ability I see not only that you can gain power close to the enemy you fight. Though both of these you'll have to train, hmm maybe I should send you the eyes of an Uchiha just for fun. I'll get back to you on that point Hehe!
I could feel my eye twitch and a headache growing. What have I done to myself, I didn't know he would be this annoying.
You know I can hear what you're but don't fret we will have a convo in due time. CALL ME ANNOYING AGAIN I MIGHT HAVE AN ISSUE!
My head felt like it was going to explode with how loud the yell was. If I could move my body id be clutching my head in pain.
Haha! I lost my composure anyways unlike the average um system? Right, I myself changed yours. You won't rely on having to grind stats that's way too boring for me to watch. While I might allow you to see an enemies health and strength at most later on there stats. As reward im sending you a power pole modified by yours truly oh and you're fully healed so go kick ass haha.
Item Received
Anyways that's it crappy heir of mine(seriously choose a fucking name) WUKUNG OUT.
After hearing a mic drop the connection went silent. True to his word I was freely able to move with no pain yet I feel shorter than before. Something to worry about later, I stood up and began to stretch. Jumping around to feel how my body is now I've been reborn. Honestly, it feels like my normal body does not match out of place. Without a mirror I can't see my looks, but I do notice the basic clothes I'm wearing. While not repaired at least, weren't dripping with blood. Leftover stains could be seen on the white shirt with holes going down my entire chest. Basic outfit weird no weapons stayed around, a pity but it doesn't change much. The power pole is a good weapon to start with, not a sword but I can broken bones. Began to make my way towards the exit of the Chapel, I also opened the menu to my system to look at the things in my inventory.
Inventory
Power Pole(with note)Quirk: Explosion(card)OutfitNicole Watterson(card)10 senzu beans
Walking to the door and glancing at the screen I'm debating on summoning my companion now or later. Knowing the fighting coming up is the scion win or lose I still have to die so maybe I summon her to take care of the tutorial stage. I'll change my outfit after making it to the first steps(if everything stays the same). I glanced back at my once finger maiden,and can't help but feel pity for her. I'll get revenge for the both of us I promise. I shut the door knowing one day I will be back to bury her.
Taking a deep breath turning away from the door I notice quickly this part of the world is foggy making everything look gray. It is just depressing as the chapel itself looks like a mini castle and is going to ruin. I turn and make my way towards the stairs not really seeing a point in actually looking around. Anything I can find here would be useless and better off just quickly making my way to the archway housing the Scion. Trying something , I thought to myself to equip the power pole and instantly summoned it to my hand. Then I thought it was unequipped and it went back to my inventory. It's kind of like the requip magic, I wonder if I ever get that from a gacha would it boost my inventory something to think about.
Inventory
Quirk:Explosion(clicked)
Would you like to gain this power yes or no
I clicked yes and felt the small pain through my body before it quickly went away.
Power Gained will be available for use in 2 hours.
I won't have it for the first fight but at least I'll have it soon. Passing through the archway I felt like a wall was put up. Meaning that mechanic from the game is still there not allowing me to run away from boss fights. I glance around and don't notice the boss, so I equip the power pole in my hand and slowly make my way to the center of the stage with still no boss. A shadow quickly began to descend upon which it took me too long to notice. Oh shit was my final thoughts before everything went dark.
POV CHANGE
"Look at Marika, your chosen tarnished dead already, you used all of your power for what? This last hope don't make me laugh", a deep voice taunted in a dark room. Only thing that can be seen is a hammer laying in the middle of what looked like a bunch of rings. "If you turn back to the golden order all can be forgiven so my Queen what do you say?", he asked in a mocking tone. Red hair glistening from the little light emulating from the floor.
The room flickered as the rings activated, for a brief moment a woman tied to the same looking rings layered on the floors can be seen before the room went back dark. Silence returned to the dark room as the woman, Queen Marika herself refused to answer.
