Elden Ring: A Sword's Purpose

Jin, a samurai who fought beneath the Elden Lord Godfrey for Marika the Eternal and was banished alongside so many others, finds himself alive and back in the lands that exiled his people. Hounded by the spirit of an odd woman and her spectral steed, he attempts to track down the other samurai of his clan only to encounter five sick girls struggling to get by in the diseased wasteland of Caelid.

Raised in a clan where violence and death was the norm, something he spent all of his life reveling in, Jin is well aware that is he far from what one might consider the ideal caretaker but nevertheless, he finds himself looking after them against all logical reason.

Can they eke out a life for themselves in a stagnant land filled with suffering or does The Lands Between have a far crueler fate in store for them?

1000% inspired by the basic premise of "Elden Lord? No Can do, I have Daughters to Raise" by Scathach_ so go check that out. Got impatient and decided to pull a Thanos.

Cover art by Fran who can be found on X(twitter) @franmm127 so also go check the artist out if you like it.

Pairing is MC x Roderika because that's my girl. Yes, my girl. The rest of you guys better take a step back -_-. And yes, there is likely to be some R-18 scenes between the two of them here and there but this is my wholesome story. If you saw that tag and came here mostly for that, you should probably check out my Nier story. That'd be more to your tastes.

As for an update schedule, I'm thinking Tuesday and Thursday. Want to fill out my entire week with writing but I don't want to drain out all my creative juices by hyperfocusing on one story. Hopefully this works out.
