"Pride. Hope. Irritation. Anger. Fear"

These were the emotions that went through Y/n mind as he witnessing his lady Malenia, Blade of Miquella. Is fighting against General Radahn, the Starscourge in Caelid, Y/n and the rest of the Cleanrot Knights doing their best to aid their lady. Malenia fought perhaps the strongest of the demigods to hold a Great Rune of the Elden Ring during The Shattering. Pride in her abilities and swordsmanship. Hope as she witnessed spear after spear pierce the Starscourge's hide of steel. Irritation as, despite his injuries, he fought like no other. Anger as he dared challenge her, succeeding in severing her Unalloyed Gold prosthesis.

Fear, as she felt the desperation claw to the forefront of her mind. Her actions were not her own, she felt, as she ripped her beloved brother's needle free from her flesh and cast it aside. In her panic to face Radahn and win, she couldn't feel the Scarlet Rot partially guiding her actions. Not initially.

It was when she stared into Radahn's eyes, her blade plunged into both of their bodies, that she realized what had happened. Horror was hidden behind her helmet, though she somehow felt that Radahn knew she had no true control over what she had just unleashed into his bloodstream.

And so she bloomed. A beautiful, vibrant red and orange colored her vision as the Scarlet Aeonia consumed all. And then she knew naught but brief glimpses as two of her Knights. Finley and Y/n, she thought as two of her loyal knights hoisted her upon their shoulders.

She remembered several skirmishes between her valiant Knight and those that sought to waylay their journey to the Haligtree. She couldn't remember who dared to try, merely their fallen silhouettes. And then her place by Miquella at the root of his tree.

It was here, she recalled, flowing between almost waking and a deep coma for who knew how long. Her mentor watched over her, she knew. Until he didn't. Until the Tarnished came.

She was roused from her slumber, reattached her arm prosthesis, her blade readied. She fought with her legendary prowess, and yet.

Y/n's one of the last Cleanrot Knights still guarding and protecting his lady from the Tarnished, but the Tarnished proved to be a foe as great as Radahn. Perhaps even greater, as the Tarnished kill her last Cleanrot Knights. Y/n turn his head to his lady to look at her one last time before fade away into ashes.

===[[And Then]]===

And then, Y/n simply awakened.

He was still at the base of the now-putrefied, and indeed petrified as well, Haligtree. But even the Scarlet Rot that had taken hold was... Gone. And it didn't heed Y/n command, much to his relief. But then, he could still feel the ever-present roiling within him, demanding to be let loose, yet the Immunizing Horn Charm necklace he wearing held its demands at bay, with his own mental fortitude reinforcing the purpose of the Immunizing Horn Charm.

A glance across the chilled ground rewarded his with a view of the precious Immunizing Horn Charm prostheses handed by his lady. His gold armor lay beneath them, neatly folded. Beside all of these, there was his Cleanrot Spear and Cleanrot Sword, thrust into the ground, and laying on the ground next to his weapons is his Halo Scythe.

Y/n slowly stand up back on two legs, though both legs had suffered from the Scarlet Rot. As he looked at his own body, Y/n came to the conclusion that he was still eternally scarred by his experience with it.

But no matter.

Y/n reached out for his armor, as he donned it piece by piece.

Which is what he did next. Many long years of practice made the motion go smoothly, the pain from the Scarlet Rot has strike the nerves attuning in his body more of a comfort than anything else. After a few experimental, he then clenches of his fist tightly, he reached down for the crimson scarf fur and putting his back armor like a cape, a red and white fur belt-capes.

Y/n finally came to his helmet, picking it up and looking upon his reflection in the front of the shining helmet. He was happy to see that like his main body, his face seemed to be clear of plagued skin. With a mental shrug, he turned the helmet around and placed it upon his head, obscuring his visage once more.

With there only being one last thing upon the ground that was his Cleanrot Spear and Cleanrot Sword, he Kneel down and picking up his Cleanrot Spear in his right hand, and the Cleanrot Sword in his left hand, while he put the Halo Scythe on his back.

Like the other Cleanrot Knights, Y/n couldn't speak due to the Scarlet Rot, as he slowly rise up on to his feet, he then use his Cleanrot Spear to support him standing.

Y/n then turned for the exit, now covered in petrified branches that look to have been broken down from the outside. The elevator he found no longer functioned, forcing him to climb through the city surrounding Miquella's tree.

On guard, Y/n traveled and found himself following the road to a nearby town, as he look back at Miquella's tree and saw the tree no longer there, Y/n staring at the Miquella's tree where it disappear. Y/n then look at the road and walk to the nearest civilization, after many hours of walking, he finally reaching the town entrance, he read a sign that was in a language he learn from a nation beyond the shores of The Lands Between.

Japanese, he remembered it was called, the sign said 'Welcome to Kuoh Town, have a nice stay!'. It looked to be a fairly large town with lots of apartments and a few suburbs, that very unfamiliar to him.

Y/n continued on his way until he found a busy street, getting a few odd looks from the people here mostly because of his heights and why he wearing a full gold knights armor, until he came across a young boy and girl at a local park.

The boy had brown hair and eye's, a pretty pathetic build with one arm slightly more muscular than the other. That boy also looked to be having the best moment in his life right now... as he stared at the girls breasts without caring if she noticed. The girl is what drew his attention, she had this. . . . . . . Power, radiating off of her.

Kind of like the Magic Caster Astrologer but, weaker than most of the Magic Caster Astrologer he used to counter. It was like holy faith magic.

She had long black hair and purple eye's, an abnormally large female assets, and she to looked to be having a good time. Looking, being the key word, he could tell she despised the boy that looked to be still starring at her.

It took a few minutes but Y/n shook himself out of his lust induced trance and greeted her. The pair soon walked away with the girl looking back and saw a tall Golden Knights's gaze staring at her in a curios look with a little fear in her eye's as she without a doubt felt his power. She quickly looked away when the boy asked her if something was wrong and looked back at him as well and suggested they walk a little faster.

Y/n thought of why the girl had that powerful aura of energy radiating off of her, but dismissed it as a latent people around the twin who hadn't yet known she had magic aura powers, there were plenty of those around on the Land Of Between. She probably wouldn't know until the day she died that she had those powers. He continued walking through he town. With more questions than answers he wondered how he got himself on this world that is not the Land Of Between.

In order to survive. Walking up to another bench beside a fountain, fatigue finally taking it's toll on him. Y/n sat down and dosed off. Trying to take a small nap, only to completely fall asleep, and just in few hours sleeping, something happens.

Y/n awoke to the bloody screaming of the young boy, that he had seen earlier. The poor kid having been stabbed in the gut by what appeared to be a spear made out of a glowing substance.

Above him, the same girl from earlier as well, except in what looked like thin and small pieces of black rubber covering her chest and pelvis areas. Black knee high boots and rubber elbow high gloves adorned her arms and legs. But the oddest part about her, were the huge black wings protruding through her back as she floated in the air defying gravity.

Y/n then full sprinted to the boy's aid. Manifesting a powerful attacks, as Y/n crosses his spear and sword slowly starting to glowing golden light and he immediely shoves them forward that blasted her flying back into the fountain. Reaching to the boy lay on the ground and bleeding out, Y/n knelt down by his side and looking at the wounds he decided the boy had already lost to much blood and the spear had ruined his internal organs beyond hope of saving.

Y/n looked into the boys eye's which appeared to be looking into space. The Cleanrot Knights read the boy's thoughts only to soon regret it as it was fool of so many inappropriate thoughts that enough to put into the history to shame. The most prevalent was some girl with red hair, and again with an abnormally large rack. Seriously? this kid was dying and all he could think about were boobs and hot women? What a pervert, he would have been the first to be corrupted by lust.

Y/n was about to used his Flask of Crimson Tears to heal the boy, but got stopped by a shouted at him.

...?:"Wh...who-o ARE you!?" She yelled as she struggled to get up after the powerful attack.

The Cleanrot Knights turned to her, without saying anything due to the Scarlet Rot has cost him can't talk.

Without second thought, Y/n performing
Retreating Phalanx, by extending his spear far a bit to fall down behind his back from his right, then he drags the spear forward into a counterclockwise while he took one steps forward, leaving a golden glow on the ground that erupts into holy spears and sticking out from the ground before disappear.

But before Retreating Phalanx could touch her, she fly up and flew away, leaving behind a trail of black feathers as she flew as fast as she could.

Once the girl finally gone, Y/n walk back to the body bodies and just staring at the body. Until he sense something starting to appear, Y/n turn to the sense feeling and saw a red portal starting to appear and a coming out from the portal revealing a beautiful young woman with a voluptuous body, white skin, blue eyes.

As she stepping out from the portal and she look at the golden Knights, to her suprise and shock of his heights that he standing around 256 cm (8'5), making him the tallest man in the town. As Rias and the golden Knights staring at each other in silence, until she decided broke the silence.

Rias:"My name is Rias Gremory, next heir of the Gremory Household. And, who are you mister Knights?"

Rias spoke to the golden Knights while staring at his helmet face. From her point of views, Rias couldn't see anything inside of the knights helmet, not even a face or a eyes, nothing but darkness, but she can still feel his glaze at them.

Back to Y/n, he just staring at them in silence, he then use his spear to write his name on the ground dirt.

Rias look down on the ground and saw him writing his name on the dirt.

Rias:"Y/n?...... Well then, Y/n thanks you for helping me keeping that boy body safe"

Rias said with a smile on her face, as she conuntie.

Rias:"Do you have any place to rest?"

Rias said with a smile and grateful for helping her keeping the boy body safe.

Rias saw Y/n head shake 'No'. Rias then gave him a warming smile.

Rias:"Can you help me carry that boy?"

Y/n nodded his head, and slowly picking the body up and place on his shoulder. Meanwhile Rias create the same portal and stepping through, Y/n follow behind her, and once he step through the red portal, he found himself standing inside a small office, he look at Rias and saw her pointing her finger at the chair, Y/n then place the boy body laying on the chair, and once Y/n place the boy on the chair, he then look back at Rias.

Rias look up at the knights, before nodded her head.

Rias:"Thanks you for helping me, Y/n. And I have a offering for you."

Rias said with a smile on her face, and waiting for you to respond, but Rias then realize you don't talk, so she handed over a notebook and a pencil to Y/n.

Y/n look at the notebook and the pencil for a few seconds before take those two item and starting to write down some words.

Y/n:'What is your offer, milady?'

Y/n then show Rias what he just write on the notebook. Rias look at the notebook and gave him a smile.

Rias:"Do you believe in supernatural?"

Rias said that with a smile. Meanwhile Y/n lean his head aside in a confusion look on his face, Rias then let out a cute giggle because of his confusion look.

Rias:"I will be honest with you. I am not a human, but a pure blooded devil"

The moments Rias told him about she is a devil. Everything just silence, only the sound of the clock ticking, until she then conuntie.

Rias:"And my offers is that I want to inviting you be a new member of my peerage as my personal bodyguard and a second Knights piece in my peerage. And in return you became a low class-devil, but you can rise class up from a low class to ultimate class-devil, and you can also have your own peerage once you reach the High-class devil. Not only that, being a devil will expand your lifespan living longer than normal human"

(And Play The Song)

Once hearing Rias talking about the offering. Y/n then place his finger under his helmet chin and thinking about the offer, and not for long, he extend his arm and open his hand for the handshake. Rias saw his handshake, she also extend her arm and open her hand for the handshake. But the handshake was not like what's she expecting.

Y/n then drop one knee down like a true Knights Kneeling in front of his princess, he gentle hold her hand up and bringing her hand up to his face helmet as he lift up the face helmet up revealing his face, Rias cheek slowly turn into blushing because for the first time she saw his face behind the helmet, as he lean his head down to her hand and kiss on her hand, and once done, Y/n let go of Rias hand, and still on the kneeling positions and waiting for his new Lady orders, before he pull the face guard down.

Rias stay silence and still blushing, but she snap out right aways but still blushing. As she hold up a knights chess piece.

Rias:"Rise, noble Knight. You will serve me with all of your faithfully to me, of your own choice. I, Rias Gremory, Next Heir To The Gremory Household! I Offering you, knights Y/n to be my second knights in my peerage, do you accept my offer?"

While Y/n could not speak, but he was able to bow his head deeper before he stood up full heights and saluted Rias by crossing his Cleanrot Spear and Cleanrot Sword weapons in front of him. Rias then nodded her head in happiness and proud to have a loyal knights by her side.

Rias:"We Will Begin The Ritual, My Loyal Knights"

Everything slowly fade into darkness.
