Frilian at Elden Ring

Frilian in the Elden Ring Author: Not Fat Orange Cat

Xin Shiji was hundreds of years ago.

Frillie unexpectedly gained the "magic of fully immersive gaming" and visited different Souls-like worlds.

While studying magic, she discovered that some special abilities could be brought into reality, thus beginning her journey to collect everything, until one day a brand new game appeared, in the land illuminated by the golden tree.

"Even though the guidance has been broken, please become the King of Elden."

All the accumulated past experiences will blossom here, and the destinies of the two worlds will be rewritten, leading them down different paths.

A heavily modified flower field magic: Crimson Ionia Flower Sea.

Modified Attack Magic: Mobile Comet Yazler.

The modified Destruction Lightning Magic: The Death of the Complete Platon Sandks.

And the imitation teardrop combined with the water mirror demon, the curse return magic combined with the rebounding hard droplet...

Years later, at the Demon King's gate, Frilian, the world's most powerful magician, performed a five-minute monkey trick before finally entering the battlefield.

"Magnificent, Kalia!"

Chapter 1 The Demon Race's Pursuit is Imminent

The village of the elves is filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, bathed in the bright sunshine of spring.

Frilian leaned against a tree to cool off, surrounded by a few scattered fellow countrymen, some of whom had been fast asleep in hammocks for days.

I heard that it's thanks to a kind of "magic that reduces energy expenditure while sleeping" that I can feel so comfortable.

A sense of relaxation.

This is the most distinctive feature of the elven village: the monotonous, repetitive life day after day, year after year. Everyone has long forgotten about time, having abandoned the calendar system long ago. Their usual entertainment is limited to playing with magic, which happens to be her specialty.

Moreover, it was a secret, unlike any known magic, which Frilian named—Game Magic.

A strange page appeared in my mind about several decades ago:

The background is completely black, with words like "Start New Game," "Load Game," and "Load MOD" written on it. I don't understand what they mean at all.

Research revealed its true nature: literally, it immerses users in a game world to experience different identities, such as hunters or immortals, and to experience different stories.

They have one thing in common: decay.

Most of them belong to a world heading towards the apocalypse, which is very different from the beautiful world in Frilian's reality. There is only death, decay and mutation.

Fortunately, she occasionally encountered teammates online, and could even chat with them. Although her teammates liked to say strange things like "My ring will never lose" and "Little Gao's storytelling," which unconsciously infected her, it was still a touch of warmth in the apocalypse.

Those worlds are too realistic; even death is perfectly recreated. Playing too much of them can have side effects.

I'm starting to lose sight of what's in the game and what's in reality.

Getting back to the main point, at first, Frillian would randomly enter the game at random times, but later, as she studied it, she discovered that she could use save files and play through multiple times, and she became more and more proficient.

Over the years, she gradually completed the entire collection and cleared various endings, which can be considered a success by the standards of "the magic of playing games".

That was truly exhilarating.

Despite the apocalypse, the unparalleled immersion provided a richer experience than that of the Elf Village. Otherwise, I would probably have been as emotionally detached and even perpetually listless as my fellow countrymen.

Strangely enough, it was the magic of the game that gave Frilian her colorful legend.

Of course, she hoped that the grand spectacle would remain only in the game; if it caused any trouble in real life, things would get complicated.

Things are already changing, aren't they? I don't know why, but the magic I experienced in the game works here too, and the accumulated attributes have also changed my physical attributes...

Could it be that the game magic I've comprehended is actually a form of cultivation? That would indeed be extremely rare.

"Have you heard? The demons have been wreaking havoc lately."

"It doesn't matter, it's happened every year, it's not surprising."

"No, they are searching for fairies."

The conversation of several compatriots caught Frillie's attention, and an inexplicable sense of crisis made her restless.

Just as everyone was talking, two or three stretchers were carried in from the village entrance. Some were dead, and some were seriously injured and on the verge of death. The residual magical energy in their wounds clearly belonged to the demon race, which further confirmed the terrifying rumors that they were coming for the elves.

"There are wounded!"

"I told you not to go out and wander around. Couldn't you have stayed in the village?"

"Stop arguing, the most important thing right now is to save lives—"

Amidst the clamor and arguments, the silver-haired, green-eyed fairy stood up, and everyone fell silent. She silently walked to the side of the wounded and cast a healing spell, causing the wound to regenerate at a visible speed.

The wounded soldier, who had been struggling to breathe, gradually regained his normal breathing, while the light in Frilian's hand shone even brighter, dazzling even in broad daylight.

Miracle: Sunlight Healing.

In the world of Dark Souls 3, this healing ability has the highest healing output, but it is slow and consumes a lot of stamina, making it very suitable for the current situation.

After being bathed in light, the injured were out of danger and in perfect condition, healthier than ever before.

The villagers, witnessing all this, were unsurprised and had forgotten when Frilian had displayed a magical level far beyond her years. Despite being only a few hundred years old, she was far ahead in terms of magical manipulation and output, never forgetting to hone her skills. What's the rush?

What's even more impressive is the endless stream of magic; for example, the healing ability right before our eyes is nothing short of miraculous.

The biggest feature of Elf Village is its relaxed atmosphere. Why did you, the King of Curls, appear here?

Yeah.

Thanks to Frillien, they withstood several monster attacks and even killed a demon before. Besides combat, she's also skilled in healing, as she is now.

She let out a long sigh and patted the dust off her dress.

The magic has been restored.

Neither in the game world nor in reality can achieve such mana regeneration efficiency, but what if they each belong to an independent multiplier? The combined effect is remarkable, and this level of mana consumption is negligible.

As a max-level Ashbringer with the power of a powerful elf, healing with sunlight is not difficult.

One of the wounded soldiers murmured, "General Azart, under the Demon King's command, is slaughtering elves. We can't stay here any longer; we must leave."

"The wounded are all fine now. As for the deceased, let them be properly buried. Everyone be on guard; this area is probably not safe."

Upon hearing this, the villagers sprang into action. Even though Frilian wasn't the village chief, she held enough authority to command others. Learning from past mistakes, everyone understood that they should be on high alert, and some even began discussing relocation plans...

Unfortunately, the vast majority are rather indifferent and don't care at all about the cataclysmic events.

Lying flat.

Frilian didn't urge them on. This was one of the costs of being an immortal being. People like her, who had the means to maintain their enthusiasm for the game, were extremely rare. It was not something that could be forced upon others.

She stared at the village entrance, slightly lost in thought.

"Even if the elves are unwilling to travel far, the times are changing dramatically, and they will eventually have to face the torrent of change."

Having experienced numerous decaying worlds, Frilian understands that history will change no matter what, and many are unwilling to change. Does she matter? She can't stop it. Just like trying to extinguish the flame that's about to go out, trying to rekindle it is essentially futile, and they can't escape the calamity.

As an elf, I can take it all in stride. Reality has also experienced the Age of Gods and years of war, and there are still strong ones who survive, such as the legendary Celie.

The demons are about to carry out a large-scale massacre, so we must become stronger.

With this thought in mind, Frilian returned to her room and lay on her bed. She needed to be in the best possible condition to prepare for the training so that she could learn as much as possible from the game and have more means to protect herself and her fellow countrymen.

The game's magic has been activated, and this time the opening screen appears to be different, featuring several golden rings – something I've never seen before.

Wow!

Before she could observe the scene carefully, it changed rapidly, followed by a solemn and weathered voice:

"Fallen leaves bring a message..."

Wait a minute? Is this still the Firelink Shrine? Where did I end up?

Chapter 2 Even though the guidance has been broken

Frillie watched as the screen panned across several distinguished figures, while the narration continued in her ears:

"The lost blessing has returned once more to the unknown, faded ones. Advance beyond the morning mist, reach the border, and pay homage to the Elden Ring."

"—Become the King of Elden."

Who are you?

and who are you?

So who should I be?

The familiar guiding feeling returned, and Frillie breathed a sigh of relief, recalling the riddle-filled opening animation.

The narrative technique of making a major character's first appearance is standard; this character is likely an important enemy or friend in the future. In any case, she secretly memorized the name and guessed that the mission was related to the broken Elden Ring.

Before the silver-haired girl was a dark church. Her first reaction was to crouch down, lean against the wall, and then examine the ceiling and corners.

Caution is essential; otherwise, who knows which nook or cranny might spawn an enemy?

Although you can revive after dying in the game, it hurts a lot and you lose items.

After confirming it was safe, Frilian took a deep breath. The stench of decay was overwhelming. She tapped the mottled floor tiles; they were probably older than her. It felt as real as ever, so real that she kept wondering if the "game magic" was some kind of spatial manipulation, transporting her somewhere, rather than a hallucination.

However, other evidence refutes this suspicion:

Operation page.

With a thought, she can open a page that only she can see. Other games are grayed out and unusable, probably because she has completed all the games. Out with the old, in with the new.

This side displays the character's general status, with two separate panels.

First, there's the character's basic panel for the "Elf Race, Frilian," which is essentially a representation of their basic real-world status within the game.

Secondly, the default character in "Elden Ring" is the Stargazer, which is also the mage class.

At the same time, she sensed that her game characters from several previous worlds were in a sealed state and temporarily unusable. Forcibly activating them might be risky, so she decided to play it safe. Oh well, her original strength plus the Stargazer's power was enough.

The goal is to graduate as a mage.

Frilian has a requirement for herself: in every new game, she should try to level up the corresponding character to the extreme so that she can benefit the most when she returns to reality.

Aside from the staff that you find in real life, the initial items are exactly the same as in the game, and there should be no omissions in checking your own status.
