Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

"Ah - this is such a damn unscrupulous job. I have to work overtime until midnight for a week and only get this little pay. It's really a life-threatening job... Today, it's finally over!" He walked out of the office building, dragging his extremely tired body.

The red glow in the sky actually made my dark eyes wet.

The last time I got off work on time was the time before!

I can't take it anymore. I've been staying up late to work overtime. My mind is so fuzzy that I feel like I'm gasping for breath even when I walk. On the way to the subway, it felt like everyone around me deliberately took a few steps away from me. I wonder if I'm being treated as a pervert.

I still remember when I was tormented by a program bug, I scratched my head and actually pulled out a handful of hair. I still remember the smoothness that my fingertips felt.

If this continues, premature baldness at a young age is probably inevitable.

So, the moment I submitted my resignation report, I felt so refreshed!

Well, as for how long the few coins in your pocket can last and when you can find a new job, don't think too much about it for now.

Now, the most important thing is——

"Earlier, the DLC trailer of "Elden Ring", the culmination of the Souls series that won the 2022 TGA annual crown, released by its parent company FS, "Golden Shadow", attracted the attention of countless players. In 2024, we are expected to go to that vast continent of swords and magic again! Experience an extraordinary adventure."

When I saw this message on the subway, my body, which was about to freeze, instantly restarted.

Wow! Golden Shadow is finally coming?

Miyazaki, you old thief, hurry up and bring me my DLC! Isn't it enough for me to kneel down for you?

I felt my heart beating like crazy.

Ah, recalling when I first got the Elden Ring, to be honest, I rejected Souls-based games at first. The protagonist was a punching bag, and even a passing dog would pounce on him and bite him a few times. I had to fight wits and courage with the soldiers all the way, tumble and roll, and avoid being hacked into a Muggle by the swords. After finally meeting the BOSS in a dejected state, I was killed with one sword.

Life is already so difficult, why should we suffer and endure misery in games?

I'll just be my little original batch~

but--

when! when!

As soon as you land, the magnificent music with an extremely heavy epic feeling hits you.

At the beginning of the game, a solemn and low-pitched narration describes a world full of disputes and crumbling. The Faded One, the protagonist, crosses the pale mist and embarks on a journey to save the border (or destroy the world).

The peaceful yet dangerous Nimgefu, the deep and mysterious Lienia, the death-filled Gaileyd, the magnificent yet declining royal city of Rodel, the empty and lost snow-capped mountains... every scene is breathtakingly beautiful...ah, except for Gaileyd, which is another kind of breathtaking, especially when there are corrupt crows and corrupt dogs chasing after you at the same time.

It goes without saying that you are there.

Even if they fall again and again and suffer again and again, the desire called curiosity and the urge to explore and adventure cannot be completely extinguished.

I seemed to be really riding the spirit horse Torret, galloping across this vast world, becoming the indestructible and indestructible A'ti like the cockroach, writing my own epic.

Even when I'm not working, I can't help but go online to search for relevant information about the Elden Ring. I listen to netizens talking about where there are shortcuts, where there are hidden treasures, as well as various BOSS challenges and skipping classes. I wish I could fast forward the clock to get off work and quickly return to the world of the Ring to verify it.

By the time I came to my senses, the game time had easily exceeded 100. Now it was 200? 300?

Well, I can’t remember.

All in all, I have gone from being a Cloud Soul player who knows nothing to a "master" player who has made some achievements and even succeeded four times out of ten with a combat skill.

This time, the DLC "Golden Shadow" that I have been waiting for for two or three years is finally here. It is said that the length is about half of the original size. My brain can't stop boiling, my eyes are bright, and my hands are already using the keyboard and mouse!

Okay, I'll take advantage of the plenty of free time this time to complete the Dharma Ring again as a souvenir!

So what will be the ending this time?

Perfect law? Death and rebirth? Curse? Madness?

Nonono~

Of course it has to be my Lani's Star Law~

After all, that’s my wife... ahem, after all, that’s the longest branch line and it allows you to experience the most complete process.

Of course, I am also used to following almost all NPC side quests at the same time. I also like to go through half of the Mad Fire process, so that the little wooden Melina can avoid burning the tree, and then travel through the gap in time and space to seal the Mad Fire with a golden needle, making her regret for the rest of her life, hahaha~

Unfortunately, Miyazaki did not design any plot that would cause lifelong regret, or the story after Sealing the Mad Fire is incomplete.

I don’t know if this DLC will add the perfect ending for Melina and Atai.

All we can do is wait and hope!

Anyway, let’s start now, O God!

Link Start!

Ah, the gate was lifted again, reaching the bright Nimgfu, so beautiful! Oh, isn't this the bank manager "White Mask" Fan Lei? Let's take a look at the big tree guard in the distance, family.

Tonight's goal! Go to Stonewell, cross Lienia, and find my wife, Lani!

After all, I am an “expert” player!

······

······

【You Died】

【You Died】

【You Died】

······

【Lost Grace Discovered】

Ah ~

After dying and dying again, Xiao Ge was finally dealt with. All the blood in the bottle was drained, thanks to Nepheli's golden thunderbolt tornado... He couldn't help but let out a sigh from his throat like a corpse.

Next, let’s go directly to Lani’s Kalia Castle.

······The hand monster over there is afraid of fire, so we need to prepare more Mars Butterflies to make a burning pot.

As for the level... Level 30 should be enough.

······Feeling a little sleepy, huh? It's already five in the morning? When is······

It's better to take a break first and fight again later... Hehe, after meeting Lani, go find Millicent. This time, you have to be careful not to let Mibo take on too much when fighting together, otherwise he will be killed... This way, the branch quest will be interrupted, and the subsequent Mibo will be really gone.

······If the DLC can allow Mibao to survive, or······or, Mibao’s consciousness returns to Malenia, and Lianlian can recognize Atai.

······Or, let more people at the border survive and give a perfect ending······

After all, compared to too much sadness, I still... still prefer comedies full of hope and the future, hehe~

······

I don’t know if it was a dream while falling asleep, or if it was the critical point before falling asleep.

I just felt a little golden light in the hazy space, flickering like a butterfly.

I subconsciously walked towards that light.

Go, go, go...

I don't know how long it took.

I only remember that there was a vast white world around me, like an endless thick fog.

Finally, even the golden butterfly disappeared into the thick fog.

But it was like a key that opened a door, and large patches of dazzling light suddenly came over from where the butterfly disappeared, making people unable to help but reach out to resist it.

Gradually, my dizzy brain was awakened and my thinking became clear.

I opened my eyes and a cold wind blew in from the dim and dilapidated church, making me...

"A-choo - damn, I'm freezing!" I blew my nose, but suddenly realized something was wrong. "Wait, where are my clothes? How come they're just a loincloth? Where is this place? Am I not at home?"

Hmm? That round stick in the left hand looks familiar.

Wait, it’s not just the wooden stick that looks familiar, the naked man, the dilapidated and dim church... I vaguely remember passing through the thick fog and arriving at the other side...

I, I, I, I, I didn't travel to the real Elden Ring world - the borderland, did I? ! I started as a naked, useless person!
