Idk what the actual Elden Ring story was, so I'll tell the story of how I played it instead.

It was about ChuChuChans, The Tarnished Dill Pickle. As far as she was concerned, she was awoken with one duty in mind. To claim the seat of Elden Lord. As ChuChuChans progressed, she got stuck in a loop of victories and defeat. Slowly learning more about this world and understanding what it meant to fight. There came a point where she began to question all the fighting and
what it meant to become the Elden Lord. It seemed pointless. The world was already in a cycle of chaos. It was how the world worked, and there was nothing to be done to change the outcome of anything. ChuChuChans kept on going for as long as she could, until she found Pickel. Pickel was just a mimic tear. Unsure of what to do with it, ChuChuChans decided to stray away from violence to learn more about it. As they bonded, Pickel slowly morphed into ChuChuChans as it began to understand who ChuChuChans was. Pickel became an exact copy of ChuChuChans. However the things it said weren't the same as the thoughts in ChuChuChan's head. ChuChuChans thought of Pickel to be the person she couldn't be. She wanted the fighting to end, but Pickel knew that, for it to end it, you must be in a position of power and control of the runes. So Pickel kept pushing ChuChuChans to keep 戦い. So ChuChuChans blindly followed Pickel and killed Morgot, who in hindsight actually seemed pretty innocent and just doing his job of protecting the Elden Ring. ChuChuChans felt the guilt ripple through her body, but knew it was too late. She had to finish what she started. Her quest of violence, victory and defeat had soon come to an end after besting the Elden Beast. Upon becoming Elden Lord, it all became clear. ChuChuChans began to understand what it meant for her to be Lord and to control the runes. It was an endless cycle of two sides of the same coin. ChuChuChans then sent a projection of herself, back to when she awoke as tarnished. She named this projection of her Elden-Lord-self, Pickel. Pickel trudged through the muds and dirt of the Lands Between with but one duty in mind. Pickel had to find the one known as ChuChuChans and ensure that she became Elden Lord no matter what.

I'm gonna continue to write the lore as I play NG+ and see how the story progresses.
