"System? It seems that I really have gotten isekaied, and I even have a typical leveling up system... By the way, since you are a system, can you explain why I became Marika? And what exactly are you?"
The protagonist, or currently Marika, questioned the system suspiciously. Although having the system reassured her about her own safety, it did not prevent Marika from having many doubts and vigilance about this unknown system. As a senior anime and fanfiction fan, she is very familiar with this kind of RPG system that frequently appeared in isekai fanfic tropes. Although many of them will provide the host with the benefits of upgrading and gaining powerful abilities, sometimes some systems will require the host to do some unimaginable and weird things as the price, such as deliberately playing the villain in the story, performing embarrassing acts in public, or gaining points for harassing women, etc.. Although Marika did not hate the idea of gaining power, she does not want to be forced to make a fool of herself in exchange for power.
"Well, don't worry about that, this system is different from those weirdos out there. Yours truly is a very serious system!"
As if sensing Malika's vigilance, the system quickly explained.
"Go about this! You should feel more at ease when I look like this.", while the system was talking, little golden lights like fireflies appeared in front of Malika. In the end, these small golden lights slowly condensed into a small ball of light exuding a gentle golden glow enclosed in a floating birdcage appeared before her.
Seeing the system's fairy-like appearance , Marika actually began to feel a lot more at ease in her heart, so she relaxed her vigilance against the system just a little.
"Hmph! Sure enough, choosing this image is the right choice. After all, it is the most reassuring image in your subconscious." The system said, proudly dancing around Marika, as if it was really a fairy.
"You can read minds?" Malika was surprised.
"I can only read a little bit. After all, if we have a good understanding with the host, we can better assist the host!" the system said.
"But the most important thing now is to answer your questions. First of all, let me introduce myself. I am the Elden ring system, a RPG/RTS system based on the videogame Elden ring." The system proudly introduced it self, the ball of light in the birdcage seemed to flicker for a moment.
'RTS huh? Then there is a lot of room for me to work with. At least that's what I read about in light novels. ' Marika thought to herself and nodded.
"As for why you are now in Marika's body, I can only say that when the host died, your original body was blown to bits, beyond repair, so I can only help you create a new body. In order to match the system settings, I just picked the character in Elden Ring that you have remembered the most."
"What about the Greater Will and Radagon?" Marika asked worriedly. In the lore of Elden Ring, Marika's greatest enemy is the Supreme Will that tries to control her life and body, as well her other self, Radagon, the loyal hound of the Greater will. Both existences made her life miserable. And now that this young man from another world is in Marika's body, it makes her feel uneasy about whether they still had an influence over her.
"As I said, the host's body is created by this system, so it is impossible to have the influence of the Greater will, let alone Radagon in your body. You, the host, are the only master of this body. "The system assured Marika confidently.
"So that's how it is huh...Although I lost my dick, you still saved my life anyway, so thank you." Marika said, feeling a little sad about losing her original body, but she could only accept her new status as a woman now, she still is grateful to the system
"You're welcome, this is just a trivial matter. Compared to this, you should hurry and open the system interface! This is an important way for you to improve your strength!" the system reminded her.
"Yeah!" Malika nodded, and was about to open the system interface, but she suddenly remembered that she didn't know how to open the system interface!
"Uh... how do I open the interface?" Marika asked.
"The host only needs to choose a subconscious action as the activation signs for the system interface." The system explained.
'Subconscious action?'. Marika pondered for a few moments, putting her right hand on her left palm, and pinched her snow-white chin with her right hand, in a pose of contemplation. Her heavy breast was highlighted by her pose.
"Let's do this pose then." Malika decided.
"OK! Subconscious action is now binding, leave it to me!" The system said, and then the light ball and golden cage disintegrated back into spots of light , and then turned into a golden colored traditional RPG game interface. The interface in front shows her character stats:
Host Name: Marika
Gender: Female
Race: Empyrean
Skills: Golden order incantations(A), Empyrean's Body (S), Mind Control Immunity (C), Melee Weapon Use (B), Unarmed Combat (B), Bow Use (B), Mounting (B) ), Divinity (A)
Inventory: Marika's Hammer (S), Elden Ring (1/9 missing) (A), Marika's Dress (C)
'It looks pretty good'. Marika showed an expression of satisfaction. As an RPG fan, the character stats in front of her can be said to be clear at a glance, and it also seems quite powerful.
"But what's the matter with this "empryean's body" skill and the incomplete Elden ring?" Marika asked the system in her mind.
"The Elden ring is incomplete because the fragments of the ring have been transformed into Great runes under the possession of the demigods. But don't worry about that, you can get their ring fragments as long as you summon them, you don't need to fight them," the system explained.
'Good, I'm not sure I can beat them. I had my ass handed to me by them when I played the game! ' Malika thought with a chill down her back. Whether it is in the game or in the story, the demigods are the top powerhouses in the lands between, except for Godrick. Madika, who had just obtained this body and was still an ordinary person before being isekaied, did not have the confidence nor skills to defeat these powerhouses.
"As for the skill "empyrean's body", as the host, you only need to click on this skill with your consciousness to see the skill introduction." The system continued to explain.
Malika did as the system said, and saw a small window pop up, showing the skill introduction:
Body of a Deity (S)
- As the first empyrean chosen by the Greater Will, Marika naturally possesses a physical quality far superior to other numens. This means that the host possesses strength, speed, physical strength and regenerative ability far beyond ordinary people.
"I see, it looks quite practical." Malika said with satisfaction.
"If you still have questions, you can click the help option, there is a novice guide there." The system reminded her thoughtfully.
Malika looked at the other options: summoning npc, partner characters, maps, quests, lottery draws, and help. The summon npc option is grayed out because there is no rune and the npcs cannot be summoned. The quest, partner character and lottery options are also grayed out because there are no quests, partners or lottery for the time being. Malika clicked on the description option.
Welcome to the Elden ring system, the following is the operating instructions for this system:
This system will issue missions to the host according to the host's situation. When the host completes the task, he/she can get rune points and unlock npcs and building structures from Elden Ring. All npcs can be summoned once unlocked, the host can also randomly get one by completing missions by earning a lottery pull and using it in the lottery option, but there will be no reward if the mission fails. In addition, you can also get Rune by killing enemies, and the number of Rune rewards will be increased according to the difficulty of the enemy.
Mission/enemy difficulty levels are: Easy, Medium, Hard, Hell
In addition, the system also comes with two lottery draw options, which operate as follows:
The Elden ring lottery will randomly give three items of four categories, equipment, weapons, incantations or magic spells from Elden Ring.
The multiverse lottery will randomly give three items of four categories, weapons, equipment, skills or characters from different movies, games and anime.
Characters, Items, Weapons, Equipment, Prayers, Magic and Skill Ratings are: S, A, B, C, D, E, F.
Certain skills, prayers, and spells can be upgraded or trained to improve ratings
Multiverse characters and npc ratings can be upgraded by training the characters or by granting them items, weapons, equipment, skills, prayers and magic.
The obtained npc and multiverse characters will have absolute loyalty to the host.
"F*ck, this is too good of a deal!" Malika was so surprised that she swore directly from her delicate lips. As long as she continues to complete tasks or defeat enemies, she can become stronger.And if she have enough runes, you can summon a huge and capable army, and if she is lucky enough, she can also get strong characters from different series to be her bodyguards. This is way too good of a deal that it seems unreal. Malika quickly calm down her feelings of feeling powerful, and reminded herself that she had not been in this world for a long time, and who knew if there are any terrifying beings in this world like the Greater Will or Outer God.
"By the way, isn't this lottery system a bit like FGO's gacha pool?" Marika suddenly asks the system.
"Nope, you are dreaming! No way! Nope!" The system said firmly.
"Okay, it's just a question, calm down man." Marika raised her hands in surrendering to indicate that she would not ask further questions.
"Is there a novice gift package?" Malika immediately asked.
"You fucking... oh...forget it, seeing its your first time being isekaied, let's treat it as an investment for you, but only just this once, got it?" The system said with a sigh.
"Yeah!" Marika jumped up happily. Of course, the two big watermelons on her chest also swayed up and down with her movement, which would have brought Newton's spirit in heaven to tears.
"Are you some yellow haired punk that can turn into chainsaws?" the system complained with a chainsaw man reference in its thoughts.
"Alright! Let's get a gacha pull now!" Marika said cheerfully and reopened the system interface that was closed because she jumped up. She clicked on the lottery option. There are two buttons on the interface, the upper one is the lottery option for Elden ring, and the lower one is the lottery option for the multiverse. Marika first clicked on the Elden ring to get a gacha pull, and the entire system interface became the same card gacha pull animation as FGO. Malika looked suspiciously, but chose to wait quietly for the result of the lottery. As soon as the results of the pull came out in the form of cards, Marika excitedly checked the prizes.
"Dragon Faith incantation book (B), Brass dagger(D), Tool Belt (E), seems like not a bad pull. The tool belt can be used to make useful items. But how do I use this Dragon Faith Prayer Book? I can summon an NPC to teach me in the future, but won't it be kinda embarrassing? The majestic goddess can't even use incantations that ordinary Lyndel knights can use with ease." Malika said to herself worriedly.
"As long as you get the incantation book, I can directly implant the knowledge on how to use any incantation with corresponding incantation book into your memories, so you can use incantation without hindrance, and the same goes for the spells." The system jumped out just in time to explain.
"That's good, otherwise it would be embarrassing. Alrighty then, let's go to the next prize draw!" With that, Marika activated the multiverse gacha pull.
After another FGO gacha pull animations…
"Golden rule (A), Multiverse Walkman (F), and Lady bug the assassin (D). Not a bad pull again, but the golden rule should be quite practical. Marika glanced at the prize and was quite satisfied. Her eyes were then attracted by the character card.
The killer code-named "Ladybug", whose real name is unknown, appeared as the protagonist in the Hollywood comedy action movie "Bullet Train", played by Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt. Before Marika got isekaied, Ladybug had always been her favorite movie character, but now that he would be her subordinate, Malika didn't know what to say about it. On the one hand, comparing Ladybug's combat power with his own, she can only say that she could beat him with a flick of her finger, and on the other hand, he is her favorite character. Marika decided to take a look at his character stats before making a decision.
Character name: Lady bug (code name)
Sex: Male
Race: Human
Character Rating: D
Skills: Unarmed combat (D), melee weapon use (D), firearm use (E), Jackie Chan prop application (B), intelligence gathering (C), scouting (C), riding (E), floating insects luck(s)
Character info: From the movie "Bullet Train", an experienced but extremely unlucky American hired assassin. Easy-going, humorous, lively and peace-loving, but he won't hesitate to fight if need be.
After looking at the skills named Jackie Chan-style prop application and floating insect luck, Malika clicked on the skill introduction curiously.
Jackie Chan props application (B)
In the movie, Ladybug can use any props around him as proficiently as Jackie Chan does to carry out unexpected attacks and defenses. However, Ladybug is not Jackie Chan after all, and his skills are inferior to him, so he only has a rating of B.
Ladybug's Luck (S)
The luck of the ladybug can always bring him unexpected adventures. After system adjustment, this skill can bring unexpected good luck to Ladybug and his companions, but it can also bring unexpected bad luck to his enemies.
Looking at these two wonderful skills, Malika decided to summon the ladybug. 'At least I wouldn't be bored with this ball of joy by my side, right?', Marika thought. So Malika followed the system's instructions to summon the character to reality. The character card first appeared in Marika's hand, and then quickly turned into a blue light spot, and slowly condensed into a human form.
The person in front of Malika was a very handsome middle-aged white man with short shoulder-length blond hair and a small beard. But the dorky fisherman's hat, a brown-green short coat lined with a dark green coat and trousers, and a pair of earthy black-framed glasses he wore greatly reduces his charm. But Marika didn't care, after all, Ladybug and the famous Brad Pitt look exactly the same. At this time, the ladybug was looking around very curiously, and finally he raised his head and looked at Marika. Although Ladybug is no short of 6 feet tall, he still has to look up to Malika who is 8 feet tall.
"Um... hey ma'am, I suppose you're my new boss, right? I'm Ladybug, nice to meet you."
The ladybug greeted her a little nervously, but still mustered up the courage to extend his right hand.
Malika looked at the ladybug's outstretched hand, and then, as if she had decided something, she also extended her right hand to shake his hand.
"I'm Marika the numen, I'll be in your care from now on."
