"Aghhhhhhhhh" sighed Jaime tiredly as he put the house keys on the table after arriving home from work.
The first thing he did once he got home was to head straight to his mother's room to check on her condition.
Three years ago his mother contracted an incurable disease, bullshit, it had a cure, but the treatment cost over a million dollars. That left the newly graduated Jaime having to work tirelessly to pay for household expenses and try to save for his mother's treatment.
It would help if he had help from his father or older brother, but life always finds a way to hit you harder. Jaime's father abandoned them when they were still children leaving them alone with their mother who created them with a lot of love and effort. His older brother Francis was his father figure who helped his mother to create him despite being only five years older than him, he always protected him from bullies and helped his mother to educate him, in short he was an model son and a perfect older brother. But as always in Jaime's life all good things are temporary, one day while Francis was driving to the supermarket to buy the ingredients for the dinner he was followed by a black car and once they were next to him they started shooting at him. It was the older brother of one of Jaime's bullies whom Francis had beaten to protect him, they shot Francis several times causing his death.
When her mother discovered the news she went into a deep depression, she had been strong enough to bear the burden of raising two children alone, but this blow was too much for her. But, even so, she stood firm to take care of the only family she still had left, she started working overtime and different jobs without a break in order to take care of her son. She did this for many years and when Jaime finally graduated she fell ill.
From that day on Jaime had to work tirelessly to support himself and to pay for the treatments that still kept his mother alive.
Jaime slowly opened the door to the room where Ana was resting "Mom?" Jaime whispered, even though he knew his mother would not answer. In the last few months her illness had worsened and she hardly woke up anymore, if it weren't for the machine that showed her heartbeat you could tell she was dead
"Mr. Jaime?"
Jaime perked up at hearing a response, but quickly his spirits faded, the one who answered was not his mother but the nurse Angela who came to care for and clean his mother daily.
"Oh. Hello Angela. how is my mother?" asked Jaime with a hint of disappointment in his voice.
Angela put on a sad expression and said "She is as usual Mr. Jaime. I've already cleaned her up and checked her vitals so I'm going back to the hospital."
Jaime nodded "Thank you Angela, good job" said Jaime in a monotone voice 'Thank you my balls, you know how much your service costs just to come and do nothing' thought Jaime with Anger as he remembered how much Angela was being paid, the medical bills were ruining him even though he was earning a good salary.
Once Angela left the house Jaime approached his mother and began to caress her while he felt guilty for everything that had happened to his mother.
'If only I had died instead of my brother.
If only I had been a good son our father would not have abandoned us.
If only I had been able to defend myself Francis would not have died.
If I were richer I could have paid for your treatment.
But no, I'm just a frail and weak man who can't even protect his own family.
If only I was prettier I could have fulfilled one of your dreams of meeting your grandchildren, but no girl wanted to be with me.
I'm just an ugly, fat, weak guy who couldn't do anything while his life was falling apart, what girl would want to be with me?
Why?
Why is life like this for us?
God?
Is there a god?
Then why do you make us suffer so much?
HAVE I DONE SOMETHING WRONG?
Why am I the only one who can never be sad?' Jaime lamented.
"Ja...i...me" whispered Ana in a low voice.
Jaime instantly left her thoughts and looked at her mother "Mom? Have you talked? Are you awake?" said Jaime anxiously
Ana opened her eyes and said "I'm sorry son, I won't hold on much longer. Forgive me for not being the best mother ever, forgive me for not being able to give you a good life. Forgive me for not being able to protect you.
Live. Live a happy life, live for Francis and for me. Go, create a family and protect my grandchildren and my daughter-in-law.
I love you son. I love you with all my might and with all my soul. Never forget it" Ana said before closing her eyes again and taking her last breath.
Jaime's heart began to ache as tears flowed from his eyes, his only instinct was to scream to release the pressure that was building up in his chest.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Suddenly Jaime opened his eyes "Mother?" cried the boy as he looked around.
He was in lying on the couch at home, his TV was on and showing his character from his favorite game Elden ring who was resting in a site of grace. He probably fell asleep while playing. When Angela left the house he went to check on his mother and after seeing that she was okay he went to the living room to play Elden Ring.
The game was the only thing that distracted his mind from his miserable life, he liked all the fromsoftware games, but his favorites were Blodborne and Elden ring. Playing these games reminded him of the time he played them with his brother.
'It looks like I finally managed to kill Radhan. I can't believe all this time Miquella was a manipulative bastard, he looked so innocent, but no one is really good at Miyazaki games are they?
... Mom!!!!' Jaime was rambling on when he remembered the dream he had had with his mother.
Jaime ran towards his mother's room, but something suddenly hit his head
"Shit, you had to have woken up right? you fat useless bitch" Said a masked man holding a gun.
"Come on Mike don't do anything stupid" Said a female voice
"Don't say my name out loud Angela, are you crazy? You piece of shit" Said the man angrily.
Jaime who was lying on the ground while moaning in pain said "Angela? What are you doing here? Who is that guy?"
" You see bitch, I told you we should have tied him up as well as put him to sleep" Said Mike angrily.
"I didn't know he was going to wake up so fast, he's a heavy sleeper and doesn't wake up for nothing" Said Angela explaining herself
"Hey Angela what are you doing? You owe me an explanation" Said Jaime as he tried to get up.
Mike seeing this kicked him in the face forcing him to stay on the ground while holding his nose which started to bleed.
"Don't you get it you fat bitch? We're here to borrow some stuff from your little house" Mike said in a mocking tone.
"huurrgh, how did you get in I always keep everything locked up?" said Jaime as he kept pressing his nose that had been broken by the kick.
Mike rolled his eyes and said "Are you stupid or did my kick hurt your brain, did you forget that Angela has the keys to your house?"
When Jaime heard what Mike said he automatically turned to look at Angela who lowered her head in embarrassment "I'm sorry Jaime, but I have no choice."
Hearing Angela's apology Jaime's fury rose " HOW DID YOU HAVE NO CHOICE WHORE BITCH. I PAY YOU A HIGH SALARY FOR YOU TO COME AND DO A SHIT AND THIS IS HOW YOU PAY US" Jaime said angrily earning another punch from Mike.
"Keep your voice down you fat bitch or you're going to attract attention. If you yell one more time I'll kill you" Mike threatened.
Hearing Mike's threat Jaime quickly calmed down and said "Ok I won't yell anymore"
"Hump, that's it, stand still you coward" Said Mike.
Jaime turned a blind eye to Mike's provocations, he started to analyze his surroundings looking for a way to escape from this situation, but when he saw the door to his mother's room open he said "Did you guys break into my Mother's room?" Jaime asked
Mike and Angela froze when he asked about his mother.
Jaime seeing that they said nothing and had remained silent feared for the worst. He quickly got up and wanted to run to Ana's room, but Mike stopped him
"LET ME GO, LET ME SEE HOW MY MOTHER IS" Jaime said angrily.
"I'm sorry Mr. Jaime, but when we came in she had already..." Said Angela
Jaime's heart was filled with anger when he heard Angela's words and with all his strength he tried to push Mike who was blocking the way
"LET GO OF ME I HAVE TO SEE HER. GET OUT OF MY WAY" Said Jaime as he tried to get past Mike who was holding him.
POW
Suddenly a shot sounded. Jaime who was trying to run towards his mother suddenly stopped. He felt a sharp pain in his belly, when he put over the place that hurt he could feel a viscous liquid coming out of his body. He lifted the hand that had touched the liquid so he could see what it was ... Blood, his own blood
Jaime's legs faltered and he collapsed to the floor as the pain intensified.
"shit, what have you done Mike?" Angela shouted.
Mike had frozen "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. No no no no shit, get up you fat bitch make yourself useful for once in your life and get up. It was just a scratch.
I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry" Mike said as he got ready to run.
"Let's go Angela, before the police come" Said Mike trying to pull Angela to run away.
Angela looked at Jaime who was agonizing on the ground and said "I'm sorry Mr. Jaime, I just wanted to..."
"LET'S GO" Shouted Mike interrupting Angela's words who quickly followed him.
Jaime who was in agony on the floor crawled towards his mother's room leaving behind a trail of blood that painted the entire hallway. Once he opened he found what he feared most his mother's heart rate monitor which whenever he opened the door gave him some relief now ended all his hopes. His mother was no longer alive.
Jaime began to cry, in just a few minutes life had taken away all that was left, his mother and his life as he felt it was not going to last long.
Jaime crawled over to his mother and lay down next to her body as he held her hand. "Forgive me mother, I won't be able to fulfill your last request. But at least we will leave together" Jaime said as he felt his world go dark and took his last breath
.
.
.
"You want to live an exciting life"
'Huh?' thought Jaime 'Am I alive?'
"No, you are not alive. Your life has come to an end. I'll ask you again.
Do you want to live an exciting life?"
'Who are you, and what do you mean an exciting life?'
"Who I am is none of your business, I'm offering you the chance to live an exciting life, I'm giving you the chance to live again."
'Live again? You mean live my life again?'
"No, your life is not exciting at all. I'm giving you the chance to live in another world."
'Another world? What world?" asked Jaime confused, everything that was going on was too strange
"Urgh You ask too many questions, just answer, do you want to live another life yes or no?" Said the voice getting impatient because of Jaime's useless questions.
Jaime seeing that he had to make a decision started to think ' It tells me that it will give me a new life, but it doesn't say where it will be or how it will be. I don't want to live another life like mine' thought Jaime. He was going to reject the offer, but he remembered his mother's words 'Live a happy life' thought Jaime.
Jaime raised his head and said "I accept" he wanted to fulfill his mother's last wish.
"Ok, bye" Suddenly he disappeared.
"Shit I've taken too long. This fucking idiot asks too many questions"
"Finally found you bastard. You're a difficult cockroach to find" Said another voice that appeared suddenly
"Hump, you idiot you're too late I've already sent him to another universe. You'll never be able to stop the forces of chaos even if you kill me."
"I don't give a fuck, just die" Said the other voice before sending a massive attack that eradicated the other being instantly.
The voice sighed and said "Uggh, I hate this job. Damn god of Fate, you couldn't have given me another job" Said the voice before disappearing
------------------------------------------------
The day should have been like a normal day for for Godwyn. He had spent it training and studying ways to find the cure for the curses of his siblings, Malenia and Miquella. He was also studying ways to cure his brothers, Mogh and Morgot, who had been banished to the sewers of Leydell due to their curse. The two had been exiled by their mother, Marika, who banished them under the excuse that they would be a stain on the Greater Will era. But Godwyn felt there was something more. Every time Marika looked at them, her gaze reflected disgust, a deep-seated revulsion as if they had done something grievous against her. Godwyn could not understand his mother's hatred for his brothers; they were still her children. Even though they were covered in horns and ugly in appearance, it didn't mean she should hate them. Godwyn did not share his mother's hatred for his brothers. On the contrary, he loved them. Both he and his father loved them as their own family. So, Godwyn strove daily to find a cure.
It would have been a typical day in his life if it weren't for the fact that he was now kneeling, surrounded by Black Knife assassins. "What is this betrayal, assassin? Don't you serve under my mother orders?" Godwyn said, exhausted.
Around him were a dozen bodies of assassins who had suddenly ambushed him, but he managed to kill a bunch of them. Though he managed to kill many, the number of assassins was enormous, and their weapons seemed imbued with a mysterious energy that could harm him, burning his soul with each wound.
"Hold him down; we will begin the ritual," said one of the assassins, who seemed to be the leader.
"Why are you doing this, Alecto? Why do you betray us?" said Godwyn, being immobilized by two assassins.
Alecto approached him and said, "We are not betraying anyone, prince; we are just following orders," before stabbing him in the back.
"AAAARRRRGHHH" Godwyn screamed as he felt his soul burning. 'Orders? The only one who can give orders... Mother? Why?' thought Godwyn, with a look of despair as he realized his beloved mother had ordered his death.
Time passed as the ritual continued. Alecto carved half of the Death Rune into Godwyn's back while he moaned in agony, until his soul split, leaving behind a living body without a soul.
"The job is done. Now disperse and seek your own destiny," said Alecto, attempting to pull the knife out of Godwyn's back.
Suddenly, Godwyn's body began to glow, surrounded by a reddish energy. His mouth opened abnormally, starting to draw the energy from the dagger.
Seeing what was happening, Alecto tried to withdraw the knife but couldn't. The suction power coming from Godwyn was too strong, absorbing the energy from her knife continuously. Soon, the other knives from the other assassins started being drained by Godwyn's energy.
"What is happening?" Alecto said.
-----------------------------------
A few moments earlier
-----------------------------------
Jaime's soul was sent into the immeasurable void, not knowing what was happening.
After an indeterminate amount of time surrounded by the void, Jaime finally saw something: lights, small lights that looked more like pieces of a broken crystal emitting a golden glow.
Seeing these fragments, Jaime moved quickly towards them. 'How am I moving? I have no arms or legs; it seems I don't have a body either,' thought Jaime as he moved toward the fragments of light.
Once close enough to touch them, Jaime began to admire their golden glow. They were beautiful, and he couldn't look away from them.
Suddenly, the fragments moved towards him, sticking to his being and merging with him. 'What is happening?' Jaime thought as a huge suction energy pulled him. The energy was too strong, and Jaime couldn't escape it and was swallowed by the vortex.
Alecto watched confusedly as the vortex emerged from Godwyn's body, sucking the death energy from their weapons. 'What is happening? This wasn't supposed to happen. If he finishes absorbing the energy from their weapons, they would have no way to mark Princess Ranni's body with the other half of the rune, and their plan would fail. But how are they supposed to stop this?'
The vortex grew uncontrollably, absorbing more and more energy from the Death Rune fragment present in the knives. Suddenly, the vortex seemed to reach its maximum size and began to destabilize.
Seeing that the vortex seemed unstable, Alecto shouted, "RUN!"
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
The vortex suddenly exploded, sending death energy all around, permanently killing all living beings unable to resist its power. Fortunately, they were in Weeping Peninsula, where Godwyn came to train, as it was quite isolated from large cities.
Everything around them turned into barren land; plants, animals, humans, beast men—all died and would never return, leaving only Godwyn's body with a huge scar marked on his back.
Hours later, the sound of horses could be heard in the distance.
"For the Queen, what in the world happened here?" wondered a man wearing golden armor with a sun-shaped helmet resting on his head. He was the chief of Godwyn's knights, a unit that answered only to Godwyn.
"Look, Sir Nicolas, over there," said another golden knight, pointing to a place where something seemed to be.
Sir Nicolas looked where the knight had pointed and could distinguish who it was. "Lord Godwyn," said Sir Nicolas, worried, hurrying to reach him.
"For the gods, what happened here?" said Sir Nicolas, seeing the huge scar on Godwyn's back. Nicolas put his fingers on Godwyn's neck to check if he was still alive. "He's still breathing," said Nicolas, to the joy of the other knights.
Seeing that he was alive, Nicolas looked around to try to understand what had happened but froze when he saw the knives scattered on the ground. "Black knives? But why?" Sir Nicolas wondered, confused. He knew the black knives only responded to Queen Marika and only went on assassination missions, so they were not here to protect Godwyn but to kill him. 'We can't go back to Leyndell,' thought Nicolas.
Nicolas turned to the rest of the knights and said, "We have to take our lord to a safe place."
"Then we will head to Leyndell? There, a healer could cure him," said a knight.
Nicolas shook his head and said, "No, Leyndell is too dangerous right now. We will go to our lord's secret hideout in the Deep Roots. We must move quickly; we don't know if whoever tried to kill our lord is still looking to finish the job."
The knights nodded and prepared to depart.
'I will not let my lord die while I still live,' thought Nicolas.
------------------------------
A week later
------------------------------
Jaime opened his eyes, scared. The last thing he remembered was being drawn into that strange vortex that absorbed him.
"Where am I?" Jaime said, trying to get up, but as he did, he felt a pain he had never experienced in his life; the wounds on his back had not yet healed.
With great effort, he managed to sit up and analyze his surroundings. He was in a luxurious room befitting a king. The floor was made of noble wood planks, the walls were made of sculpted stone, and the corners were adorned with elegant columns with divine figures at the ends. On one of the walls was an overly adorned door with an equally decorated frame. On the opposite side, curtains blocked the light from outside. On one of the walls was a dresser with a large mirror above it.
Godwyn got up from the bed with difficulty due to the excruciating pain from his back. "Wait, Godwyn?" Godwyn said, suddenly thinking of his name. "Who am I?" he said as he walked towards the mirror to see himself.
When he reached the mirror, he was surprised by what he saw. He was beautiful, the most beautiful man that had ever existed. He had long golden hair that reached his waist, and his torso, which was bare, was muscular and well-defined. In other words, he was the embodiment of perfection, the perfect specimen of what was expected from the son of the Golden Order.
He was Godwyn the Golden, but he was also Jaime. 'Who the hell is Jaime?' thought an angry Godwyn, his head in chaos as the memories of two people passed through his mind.
"I am Godwyn."

Hi guys. author here.
I've been a little frustrated with the lack of mention of Godwyn or his lore in the new Elden Ring DLC. So I've decided to write it myself.
This is not a story about the game but rather it is about the world and its characters. Don't expect anything like a system or video game elements here.
I have also taken the liberty of making significant changes to the world and some specific changes to the characters' Lore. Although I will try to stay as faithful as possible to his Lore.
This will be a Harem Fanfic so if you don't like it I'm sorry.
There would also be incest since the main members of the Harem would be his demigoddess sisters, perhaps even his mother. So if you dislike this topic, don't read it.
Not Miquella in the Harem. you weird
There may be some spelling errors since I write it in Spanish and I use a translator to translate it into English so forgive me in advance
Thank you for reading. I hope you liked it
