Best Elden Ring Fanfic

Earth’s Tarnished by Corroded Vortex

Of the Elden Ring fanfiction, Earth’s Tarnished brings a gamer element you rarely find in more serious fanfiction recommendations. The author, Corroded Vortex, takes a mortal gamer placed in the gaming world of Elden Ring. It may sound like a throwaway idea, but in this fanfiction, it works well. The main character, created by the author, is fleshed out and offers a different spin on the universe he finds himself in. It is an ideal step into the world of Elden Ring fanfiction without going too serious or parody-like. 

The Outer Lord by BrutalAftershock

“From worlds lost to fog and times faded into forgotten myth, a cursed Lord emerges in the Lands Between. He is a man of many names and many deeds, things now only he remembers. Alone, he wars with the cycle and hunts the vile cosmic gods that shackle all life. To become Elden Lord is only the first step.”

The Outer Lord stays with the themes and tropes that made Elden Ring popular with fans. BrutalAftershock takes the idea of a fresh character with unique experiences and places them in the Elden Ring universe. Unlike Corroded Cortex, BrutalAfterschok chooses to keep all characters within the universe rather than doing crossover elements from either beyond the gaming screen or from other games. If you want to add another element to the Elden Ring universe, this may be the ideal read for you. 

Just a Merchant in the Lands Between by Dahmiel

The fanfiction author, Dahmiel, chooses to go with a different viewpoint of the Elden Ring universe by looking through the eyes of a merchant. Just a Merchant in the Lands Between tells the story of a traveling merchant who sees all, hears all, and takes in all around them. He travels from the Lake of Rot to Farum Azula. During his travels, he takes notes and creates a story for the readers to enjoy. If you want a different look from a third party, then Just a Merchant is ideal. Though many things are the same as you will find in the game, the merchant will give you a few nuances that are slightly changed with perception. 

Stars at the End of Golden Days By: Slalem

Stars at the End of Golden Days by Slalem takes place “in a time before the Age of Stars.” It is the story of a witch, a Tarnished, and the people surrounding that witch.

For a reader who wants that background to the game and a different viewpoint of a Tarnished, this story will deliver.
