The world of Kek's Isekai (ケクの異世界) is a world of fantasy anime influenced by the philosophy of 4chan's /pol/ and /x/ boards. The premise of this RPG is that the players get to play as themselves in a world of adventure and magic.

Kek

Kek is the god of chaos and darkness. He should not be mistaken for an evil deity: he represents the darkness that brings dawn, not the darkness of evil. His force of chaos represents freedom and creativity. As such, Kek is the patron of artists and NEETs. He is truly the most benevolent of all gods.

Mythic RPG

Mythic RPG is the system used for running Kek's Isekai. Mythic RPG is very simple and universal, and only uses two charts.

The Fate Chart is used to make skill checks and answer Yes/No questions. It works like an abstracted version of D&D where all checks are done with 1d100. Any question can be answered with this chart, whether it's a question about the environment or about the mechanics.

The Event Chart is used to answer open-ended questions and provides a list of words that are used for inspiration. It works like tarot.

Death Count	A	???	You have a perfect count of every kill you have made, and an instinctive understanding of everything you encounter’s weaknesses on every level physical, mental, and spiritual. This applies to people and their psychology.
Strange Aeons	B	Lovecraft	You no longer age, you are immune to mental influence, and you have a handful of supernatural abilities, you can enter and manipulate dreams, grow and recede alien appendages at will, and summon weak entities from Lovecraft’s mythos if you fulfill the grisly requirements.
After-Effect	B	???	You can bring your timelines together if you focus, allowing you to attack more than once in a single swing, simultaneously from different angles, or even summon an almost-identical duplicate that defers to your judgement. You are also immune to time control and the threat of paradoxes.
Vice/Virtue	C	???	You can channel a specific one of the seven deadly sins or heavenly virtues to gain powers unique to both, these are initially weak but grow stronger the more you embody them. At first, you can only have one at once and changing brings a complete reset but extensive experience can allow you to incarnate several at once. The choices are lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, pride, opposing chastity, temperance, charity, diligence, patience, kindness, and humility.
Sword Saint	B	Xianxia trope	You unlock the power of your own ki and can combine it to your competence in sword fighting to use special ki-based techniques. You will gain a new technique in each thread that you join, but only if you didn't die in the previous thread. You gain the skills "Sword Fighting", "Sword Flying" and "Ki Blast" at rank Average.
Cursed Sage	B	Online: the Comic	You gain the powers called "Dark Heal", "Destroy" and "Death Roulette". Their effect is unknown.

It can be enchanted and modified at no risk to its function.

Moneychanger	C	???	You can determine the exact value of anything at a glance, can irreversibly turn any object into its exact value in any currency of your choice, and can store your monetary wealth in a pocket dimension that expands to encompass the sum in its entirety. In addition, you may become a metaphysical broker, exchanging souls or obscene amounts of wealth for astral coins that you can then spend to enhance yourself or your equipment with diminishing returns.
[Make a Stand]	B	JoJo's Bizarre Adventure	You have your own Stand, as seen in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. This can be customised as you see fit, but can’t wield powers over space or time. It starts at E in everything but Developmental Potential and grows stronger over time. Magic users and other Isekai victims can sense it.
Pokemon Trainer	B	Pokemon	(Gain a Pokemon)
Goblin Slayer	F	Goblin Slayer	You gain all the knowledge seen in the Goblin Slayer anime. This gives you a +3 RS bonus to attacks against goblins, and a rank of Superhuman in the skill Knowledge(goblin).

Death Note	C	Death Note	(Once per thread, can kill someone whose name is known)
Omae wa mou shindeiru	D	Fist of the North Star	You are a master of a hyperlethal martial art unique to you, specialising in a specific kind of kill, counter, and takedown determined by you. You can teach this to others but it will take time. This doesn’t necessarily give you the physical fitness to use it to its full potential, but it does provide the motivation to get there.
True Sight	C	???	You can see, smell, feel, hear, and touch everything exactly as it is, your five senses are perfected, and it is impossible for someone to lie or hide their intentions from you. Lying leaves the taste of bubbling soap in your mouth.
Edgelord	C	meme	You can teleport behind your foes, summon dual desert eagles/uzis at your discretion, and drain life force to regenerate or fuel your attacks when you cut someone. You can also cut yourself and reabsorb it at an equal ratio. Forbidden sorcery comes twice as easily and malign entities see you as their equivalent and take you seriously, for good or ill. This comes at the cost of a gravelly voice, deep dislike of daylight, and the permanent fixation to wear a trenchcoat and dark-tinted sunglasses, which you can summon at will. If your dialogue is sufficiently edgy, you may receive a bonus to any given roll.
Harem Protag	D	common trope	You now have a sex appeal that defies logic, giving an *absolute* bonus to seduction attempts and compelling members of the opposite sex to get jiggy with it, to the extent that you must roll to determine whether they are willing to engage in coitus, not whether they are interested. They are always open to polygamy but members of the same sex will resent you. Some violently.
A E S T H E T I C	E	meme trope	You somehow manage to make everything you do look exponentially cooler than it actually is. If you are stumbling with a sword it will look badass, if you know what you’re doing it will look beyond divine. This yields a massive bonus to convincing others, intimidation, and building a reputation whether it's positive or negative.
Creepy	???	meme	You are creepy. You are powered by corrupted, deviant energies. You revel in rape, cannibalism, and anything viewed as creepy by normies. The more you creep out, gross out and offend others, the more powerful you get. If your party doesn't hate you, then you are doing something wrong. Unlock great bonuses if you make another player quit.
Japanese Bloodline	E	meme trope	Your face and body morph to take a purely Japanese appearance (choose Jomon or Yayoi, see picture). When travelling to Western nations, you are considered generally adorable by everyone. When you say something rude, it will be considered part of the cultural barrier. You will be given more respect and the opposite gender will find you more attractive. At the QM's discretion, you will be given more leeway when doing retarded actions. You are considered fluent in the Japanese language and to have a proficiency of Average with katanas.
My Little Demon	C	Grimdark Quest	A lesser demon follow you and your commands. The creature is chaotic and evil but will follow you every command. You can evolve it by feeding it a live creature. It will grow and evolve based on the creatures you feed it. If it dies it can be revied through the sacrifice of a live creature. It starts off as a small imp.
Killer Instinct	E	Grimdark Quest	The instincts of a killer have been drilled into your head; +1RS for your attacks. You can find out the weakness of any creature by looking at them and activating your ability.
Fight Night	E	Grimdark Quest	You can make hardened bone growths protrude from your fists making your wrists as powerful as maces. You can challenge someone mid combat to a duel and you will get +1RS to fighting them and they will exclusively attack you. The more people you kill in duels the higher your RS bonus will become.
Seven Sins	D	Grimdark Quest	You can target someone and give them a debuff based on their most prominent of the seven deadly sins in them.
Sweet Pain	D	Grimdark Quest	Your mind is warped into enjoying giving and receiving pain. Spiked steel chains tightly wrap around your body giving you permanent natural armour. You can't wear normal armour. You gain razor sharp claws which give you permanent natural weapons. Any damage you deal with your claws heals you. You are terrifying to most people you can't enter cities unless your in disguise and merchants won't do business with you unless your in disguise.
Kek's Blessing	C	meme	You have the power to manipulate the forces of chaos. It is a known fact that Kek represents the dice. 3 times per thread, you can overwrite the rolls of another player with your own rolls.
Kek's Favorite	C	meme	(Gain 100 favor points / thread)
Honkler	???	meme	You gain various situational bonuses for posting funny, ridiculous, outrageous or otherwise clown-related art (memes, poems, jokes...) If you use the 4chan's painter, you can use magic as depicted in your drawing, but only if the QM can guess what your drawing represents (you are not allowed to tell), and if it is clown related. You also have a special talent for driving your opponents crazy when you mock them.
Chaos Factor	E	meme	(Your odds are always rolled on Chaos Level 7)
Anonymous	D	meme	You are impossible to remember when you’ve left someone’s sight, you can’t be recorded in any way, and you leave no evidence of your existence. This doesn’t apply to other Isekai victims. In addition, you can still post on 4chan but trying to prove you’ve been Isekai’d will get you laughed at.
Meme Magician	B	meme	XXX
Autism Jesus' Blessing	C	meme	You gain a bonus when you're arguing about details, missing the big picture, or spamming. You gain a battle bonus when correcting your opponent's typos and grammar. Your Charisma is dumped to minuscule.
Trapped in Karma	D	Thread #5	(Uses the Karma system from Xianxia quest)
Cheat Cook	F	Isekai Izakaya	XXX
Do You Love Your Mom?	???	Okaa-san Online	You have been Isekai'd with your mom, and she possesses much higher stats and abilities than you.

Eldritch Express

The Eldritch Express is Jackson's cheat (Sweet Ride) and the players have made it their mobile base.

• You must collectively fuel the five furnaces of the LeTourneau diesel-electric transmission overland train a bare minimum of forty pounds of flammable fuel per car attached in addition to sixty for the front, per day, if you want to keep it moving
• It currently has four cars. Its passenger car siderooms and conductor's cabin are at the height of modern luxury, complete with a bunk bed, TV, stereo/radio system, a nightstand, coat/hatrack, and multiple consoles with assorted video games and movies to watch and play. It has a combination messhall/kitchen/medical car, as well as 2 storage cars, filled simple assorted logging tools and fuel logs at the moment.

Timeline

Humans are not native to Kek's Isekai. All humans come from our Earth, or have ancestors who originate from here.

• 297-313 - Following an edict against them by Diocletian, the Manichaeans of Rome were transported to Kek's Isekai.
• 1209-1350 - Following the Albigensian Crusade and their persecution by the Inquisition, the Cathars were transported to Kek's Isekai. They founded the city of Carcas in the Empire of Tyria.
• 2005 - Matt Furie discovered the prophet Pepe.
• 2015-present - Following the rediscovery of Kek on the /his/ board of 4chan, all imageboard regulars (Futaba, 2chan, 4chan) are transported to Kek's Isekai when they die.

Cosmology

Metaphysics

The Isekai has a lower density than our Earth, meaning that it is a bit closer to the dream world than we are. This has three main consequences:

1. Physical pain is only half of that in our planet. That is, everything hurts twice less.
2. Visible, tangible magic is possible. This is witnessed in the phenomenon of classes and cheats.
3. The environment is slightly less coherent and logical.

Earth and Hell

Kek has stated that our Earth is Hell, and that Kek's Isekai is the true Earth. Hell is a place of suffering because one must struggle to make a living. The Clown World meme explains that Hell is a world of inverted values where nothing should be taken seriously.

• "Earth is the domain of the archons, a vast prison whose innermost dungeon is our Earth, the scene of man's life." — Hans Jonas
• "Everyone who had ever lived was literally surrounded by the iron walls of the prison." — Philip K. Dick

Planes

• The Astral Realm is more or less the world of dreams. Magic in the Astral Realm is more powerful because it's made of low-grade magoi, the life substance of the earth and all living creatures
• The Shadow Realm is a parallel reality, a world of ruins and demons. Anons who use the Hide in Shadows hide in the Shadow Realm, and sometimes travel through it.
• The Gray Field was briefly mentioned in the Grimdark Quest, but nothing is known about it.
• Tartarus is a lower level of Hell where the damned are punished for their heinous deeds.

Planar Locations

• The Death Lodge is a special club outside of the universe where Isekai victims of interest wait for their next incarnation. In the tavern, magical screens show the adventures of their party. Those who are in the Death Lodge can temporarily manifest in the material world as ghosts.
• The Kuu Palace (空宮) is a dimension beyond time and space, inhabited by Tsathoggua. The Kuu, also called Void, can only be comprehended in great depths of meditation.
• The Akashic Records is a dimensional library where one can consult their Kek Consciousness.

Geography

Empire of Tyria

Threads: Kek's Isekai #3, #7, #8, #9

The Empire of Tyria is a human empire located on the western coast, with populations that originate from Western Europe. It's divided in three provinces: Tyria (English), Arania (German), and Pretia (French).

Religion

Hundreds of gods are worshipped in the Empire. Most prominent are:

• Kek
• Aqua, Eris (from the KonoSuba anime)
• Freya, Ganesha, Hephaestus, Hermes, Hestia (Hestiaca), Ishtar, Kali, Loki, Soma (from the DanMachi anime)
• Adenela, Ariadoa, Cerceus, Mitis, Valkyrie (from the Cautious Hero anime)

Visea

Visea is a dangerous city in the Province of Pretia, ruled alchemists, merchants and slavers. The city always has a faint smell of sulfur, and black smoke comes out of a gigantic factory chimney. Often, zeppelins can be seen flying in the sky.

Labyrinthia is a dungeon that has appeared near Visea. The entrance has the shape of a vulva and no one so far has come out alive. It's rumored to be the base of succubi.

Devapura

Thread: Kek's Isekai #4

Devapura (天成) is a city-state located between the southern edge of the Empire of Tyria and the Wasteland.

When the gods longed for mortal life, the Supreme Godhead created Devapura, the City of the Gods. In Devapura, most of their divine powers are stripped away and they have to build an alliance with the mortals for their own survival. The gods organized themselves into the Familia system. Only by joining a Familia can mortals enter the famed Danjon, where many fabulous treasures await them.

The Pillar of Heaven

The Pillar of Heaven (天柱) has a calm, Zen environment, with white pavement on the floor and crystal sculptures of snakes. For historical reference, it has been constructed by the goddess Nüwa back when Heaven was about to crumble on Earth. The Adventurer's Guild has made the first floors of the Pillar its HQ.

The Danjon

The Danjon (ダンジョン), the dungeon of Devapura, is the most important dungeon of the world. It's the only part of the world that cannot be penetrated by the gods and it has never been cleared by any hero. It's also the only place where Familias can gain power.

The entrance to the Danjon is on the first underground floor of Nüwa's Pillar of Heaven. In the center of the room is a ten meter long hole that leads straight into the Danjon. Within the circular room are multiple columns at equal intervals and above is a beautiful azure painting of the sky that resembles the real sky. Along the circle are gentle stairs that spiral down into the Danjon.

The creatures of the Danjon tend to lurk in the walls before jumping on their prey.

Iphionor

Threads: Wade's Thread #1, #2

The land of Iphionor, once called the Sapphire Yonder for the prevalence of gems, now called the Forsaken Reaches for its abandonment, has fallen sway under the spell of the frozen lord, Yavras the Demise, in his distant crystal vault. Yavras is worsening winter to strengthen his own magic. Iphionor is party of the Pōtaru Atesaki Empire (ポータル・あてさき).

History

Unable to handle the increasing difficulty of collecting shrinking taxes from an already isolated territory while warring with the hellish invasions, repelling the constant monster incursions, and thwarting the cyclic world-ending cataclysms, the illustrious empire of Pōtaru Atesaki withdrew its legions after four years and left the people to their own devices. When they left, the legitimacy of the regional governor (descended from the ancient monarchic bloodline that bent the knee instead of letting their citizens be slaughtered to keep them on the throne) plummeted in the sight of the population and roughly a third of the settlements declared independence overnight. The following year, when their wages couldn’t be paid almost two-thirds of his soldiers went rogue and cooperating with the bandit gangs growing in leaps and bounds, they began parceling out the territory.

By today, another third of the settlements have collapsed or fallen to warlords, with a small minority crawling back to “the true authority” of the realm. The only thing the province has going for it is the fact that the Adventurer’s Guild never left and with their policy of non-assistance to illegitimate conquerors, they have a soft monopoly on their services. It’s a significant boon to their continued survival but the market demand of those that can’t afford or can’t receive their help has opened the way for dozens of upstart mercenary chapters, community militias, and freelance monster hunters to fill the void.

Only the enormous amount of treasure-filled, trap-lined, and monster-infested ruins dotting the land has kept the economy from dwindling completely and despite the lack of outside aid, the people have drawn closer together than ever.

Religion

The Norse Pantheon and the Dungeon Soup Pantheon are both worshipped. The Cult of Mortifer also has a presence. Mortifer, the God of Chaos and Destroyer of Worlds, among other titles, has sent the faithful to return the world to absolution of primordial chaos.

Caelkirk

The city of Caelkirk, boasting almost fourteen-thousand permanent residents, it is a bustling metropolis by this world’s standards and home to a thriving population of adventurers working out of their Guildhouse. Only a handful of provincial troops are stationed here, but the local militia fills in the gaps and any help filling out their bounties would be sorely appreciated. Like any other settlement of Pōtaru Atesaki, they demand a ten percent tax on trade, alongside five percent for the Guild’s maintenance dues, though the latter is waived in the case of members. In recent years, the gnomish gambling and draught-house has fallen into disrepair but the temple of Zin has grown more popular, something the pious hold as a sign of prosperity and renewal in the days to come. It is two weeks and three days of hiking away, in woods that have largely been cleared of monsters and brigands.

• Zazar’s Exotic Fruits and Everyday Needs: A large, well-lit, and centrally located store not far from the adventurer’s guildhouse. Its primary claim to fame is a wide selection of juicy fruits from the distant south, brought back bizarrely fresh, and the rest of its relevant stock consists of quality ropes, tools, and torches waiting to be lit.
• The Place of Chains Shattered and Forged Anew: A tiny, pitch-black stall in an alleyway near the center of town, close to Zazar’s but nowhere near as busy. It doesn’t sell anything, it gives away scrolls detailing an esoteric and terrifying martial art that monks and priests alike would frown on.
• Horgrim’s Hearth: A midsize, filthy, and foul-smelling store in the middle of town, equally far from the outskirts and mayor’s home. It is essentially a subpar version of Zazar’s, selling far inferior pieces of equipment to cheap adventurers and hardtack instead of fruit. Its only good quality is the fact that its rude owner is a skilled appraiser of magical artifacts and willing to do so for a small fee.
• The Dunkhift’s Family Forge: A midsize, clean, and approachable smithy closer to the center of town than the outskirts. It is a family operation and its current owner, Jegrim the fourth, a skilled but unspecialised smith that does a wide variety of work, mostly fixing wagons and shoeing horses, but he does possess some pricy armours and blades which, while not masterwork, can do the deed.
• Brunnarth’s Shrine: A small, cramped, and almost-hidden smithy situated on the outskirts of town, as close to the gates as physically possible. It is a one man operation, run by Brunnarth, an experienced Armsmaster and fanatic follower of Okawaru, who forges masterwork blades in worship and sells them at exorbitant prices. If someone can beat the man in a sparring match, he’ll reduce the cost to covering the material and nothing more.
• The “Incenstuous” Inn: A midsize house of ill repute, named for its constant burning of incense and its crass owner’s compulsion to shove as much innuendo in the public eye as possible. It boasts twelve full-time employees and fourteen anonymous part-timers, with a policy of wearing garish masks while “working.”
