In a mood for something Elden Ring inspired, though story driven and freeform cause I can't do the grind like I used to (stats are fine but don't make me focus too much on upgrades, battle systems and ranks). But ya, the lore gives you so many fun pieces to work with. Pick the pieces you want and make your own kingdom or empire based on it.
I went on a lore binge so honestly seconding this. I'd love to see a more chaotic setting though (like currently how the game is, to be honest) where large kingdoms and factions are fractured/at the brink of death, and it's every man for himself. Smaller fringe groups would still be cool tho, like the Black Knives and the bitter remnants of the Golden Order.

Can't fathom for the life of me what the sort of central site plot would be and how it can be moved forwards with multiple chess pieces on the board, since it'd be kind of crazy to have the gods/demigods playable (or even available in a sense) so it might situate better perhaps as an AU/post-ending sort of thing.
i feel a central plot (or @ least, a general thing for characters to strive towards, potentially) could just be seeking out the elden ring or whatever magical mcguffin might exist to become Space God/rule over the world. within the game, there are intricate quest chains concerning this goal. people could plot out similar stuff?

demi-gods could also work, i think, if they were canons with the optional(?) requirement that they be heavily crippled in some way as they are in game (if power levels are a concern). e.g. malenia slowly rotting from the inside out. spoiler for the final boss:

it's the only actual god you can interact with -- but it's not really a "person", more like a living concept. i could be wrong on this though because i'm still getting wasted in caelid

it's so cool to me that there are bosses in elden ring who your summons will straight up run from/cower before/refuse to fight. and by 'cool' i mean devastating to my sense of peace,

recently-ish zoomed thru the winter prince by elizabeth wein. it's really...Really Dramatic but i like that ( also the writing's super pretty imo ):

“Watch closely,” I said. “There’s hardly any strength in a bow this small; the probe will probably bounce off the cloth when it strikes.” Lleu’s gaze flickered dubiously from the stiff and scarred fingers of my left hand to the target he had chosen: but what is my hand weighed against my name, my nature?

---

It was a silver-washed night of a waxing moon; I could not blame them for wanting to be out in it.

---

You need not think of me standing apart from the revelers and watching sullenly just beyond the circle of firelight, the slow cancer in the beating heart.

---

While I stood staring hopelessly you echoed my silence: your lean fingers closed firmly around mine, your blank eyes like fields of slate the perfect reflection of my own. Mother and son, flame and shadow, image and opposite -- witless I stood before you and let them all see how alike we are.

---

Then it was Lleu and I, alone, locked together in silent, furious intensity. The old bitter resentment raged through me: I was stronger and taller and more experienced than Lleu, and I knew I could not win. He must defeat me before you and all your young sons.

...something elden ring inspired so i can play a bastard prince or a lady lich or something (& very badly swipe stuff from celtic mythos not trying to imply that's what the game is doing just saying that's what I'll Definitely Probably Do, Maybe )

Let's tell him again, she thinks. Let's tell him again, but this time, say it with your axe. They're in the sort of business where violence is how you speak and sympathy is not a thing you show —

yet, all she says is:

"Rosey," in a tone dry as death.

finished up earthlings by sayaka murata, another book which messed me up (in a good way). 
SPOILER: Click to show
Nonhuman lives jostled up against the window. The presence of nonhuman creatures was stronger at night. Strangely enough, though I was a little scared, I felt as though my own feral cells were throbbing.

---

It’s handy having a dumpster in the house. In this house, that’s my role. When Dad and Mom and Kise get so fed up they can’t bear it any longer, they dump everything onto me.

---

How long did I have to survive for? Would I ever be able to live without constantly trying to survive?

---

Magical powers. I have to summon my magical powers. The power of darkness, the power of wind—any magical power will do, but I need something. I have to use my magical powers on my whole body before my heart feels anything.

“Stop, please! Help!” my husband screamed pathetically, making a dash for where I stood as Yuu held my father-in-law back.

“Do you really want me to save you?” There was a grass-cutting scythe by the front door. “Do you, Tomoya? If you really want me to save you, then I will do my very best.”

My husband realized what was in my line of sight and quickly shook his head. “No, no, actually I don’t really want you to help me.”

“Really? Okay, fine.”
