SUMMARY: WADE

(Kek's Isekai) Wade chose to gain sorcerer powers and Kek teleported him to Aermagh, capital of the Malachite Theocracy. He quickly adapted to his new powers and was able to fry a few street thugs with a combination of grease and flaming napalm. He joined the Adventurer's Guild and completed a quest for the government, which was to dispel an illusion of Kek that was disturbing the Court of Justice. Because he recited a Catholic exorcism, Kek punished him by lowering his Toughness. From this quest, he earned 3 points with the Guild, though. He then went on a date with the receptionist of the Adventurer's Guild and cooked a cobbler for her. The date didn't go too well because he invited her to The Rabid Owl Inn, an absolutely gross place. He died on his second quest while fighting a rogue sorcerer, who killed him by summoning a yadokai, a type of Japanese demon.

>>3917588
SUMMARY: TERRY

(Kek's Isekai) Terry chose to gain thief powers, defined by the ability to Hide in Shadows. Kek teleported to a forest near Aermagh. His first action was to rob a few farms to get some funds. His actions are very methodical, not leaving room for failure. He then spent some time exploring the city and testing his thieving abilities. He discovered that his “Hide in Shadows” ability allows him to travel through the shadows. As disguise, he cut two eyeholes in a sack and put it on his head. He then robbed the inn he was staying at and fled the city toward Summerhold, another city of the Theocracy. On the road, he impaled a few rabid wolves that attacked him, earning the title of “Vlad the Impaler”. He later entered the swampy area around Summerhold and met Ari, an ambassador of the Beastman Kingdom who was delivering rice cakes for the Culture Festival of Aermagh but arrived too late. She fired her previous guide and hired Terry to escort her back. They've made a halt at Summerhold, but while Terry was purchasing supplies, she's gone missing.

I’ll continue my story. I’ll just have to use the proper format for my profile this time.

>>3917677
All right. I'm reposting the last post so it's easier to respond.


Q: Has Ari gone missing?
Odds: Very Likely (she better)
Roll: 68
A: Yes
Q: Does anyone recognize Terry?
Odds: Unlikely - 3 RS (Moot) = Impossible
Roll: 10
A: No


When you arrive at the stables, there's a commotion from a crowd of people looking at a dead body on the paved floor. The body is lying on a pool of blood; it's been bit to death at the throat. It's indeed likely that Ari would have sniffed you before you could find her, however, she's nowhere to be found. From what you can hear, that person has been killed by Ari.
"Those damn beastmen."
"We were too kind to let her sleep here."
"Their heads belong on a pike."

what part do thoughts play in game?

>>3917754
Meditation, magic.
In the last thread, Kek explained that to cast a spell, sorcerers must picture an image of the spell in their mind. Thus, sorcerers need a visual mode of thought.

Rolled 31, 54, 38, 47, 58, 37, 26, 89, 74, 59, 38, 30, 63, 50, 14, 38, 42, 61, 78, 68 = 995 (20d100)

Editing the sheet on a Mac is pretty frustrating. I'll try to figure this out later. In the meantime if you need anything specific, just ask.
>>3917721
I leave the stables in order to buy a horse and attempt to chase after Ari. I expect that she'll be heading for the Beastman Kingdom. I'll head in the direction that Artus did, as I assume his path leads to the next strip of civilization.

Q: Can Terry tell her emotions?
Psychology: High
Difficulty: Below Average
Roll: 37
A: Yes
Q: Does she feel relieved to see him?
Odds: Likely
Roll: 26
A: Yes


You can buy a horse at the stables, using what's left of your money. You ride toward the Elven Nation, to the east, as marked by an arrow and an elven face on your map. The environment is still swampy but it doesn't take long for you to catch up with her; she's not a very good rider because she's more used to travel in carts. When she sees you galloping next to her, she sticks her tongue out and speaks.
"Oh! Terry. Good to see you. I ran into some troubles... I thought I was to travel alone..."
(Psychology:) You can tell from her face that she went through an emotional shock.

You were browsing the /qst/ board on 4chan when suddenly you died (describe your death, by default it's heart attack). You wake up in a dim lit, spacious Egyptian temple with ornamented pillars. On a cyclopean throne sits a frog monstrosity, its fat flesh hanging on the floor. It speaks to you with a cavernous voice:
"You've died." It laughs. "I'm Kek, god of chaos. No introductions needed, I hope. As you were a member of the 4chan community, you get to resurrect in a new, magical world. That's the pact I've made with your remote viewers and meme magicians."
He pauses, expecting you to die of a heart attack. But the smell of incense burning in the room has made you a bit high and rather apathetic.
"Not bad, you've survived my frightful presence. YOU ARE QUIET, I CAN'T HEAR YOU. I'm bored. Let's get over with it and choose your new profession."

"Oh? I guess all those monster energy drinks and doing a 24-hour hardcore gaming marathon wasn't a good idea. I must have died from a heart attack." I sigh and turn to the god

"Well, if you're doing me this solid with a second chance, only fair you get to decide my new profession. Spin the wheel glorious Kek!"

A: Punish of Pain
Toughness boosted to High

Kek answers with his thundering voice.
"A dislike of authority in his mortal life... Spins the wheel... This kid has potential..."
He raises his left paw: a flow of dark energy enters your body. "You are now an ELEMENTALIST. When you want to cast a spell, all you have to do is think about the name of the element that you want to use, and picture an image of the spell in your mind. This technique is called: visualization".
"You must know there are four elements: earth, water, fire, wind. There's also a fifth element called void. I'm not your teacher, this is up to you to figure out what it is, exactly."
"You can use one element at a time... For wilder effect, two elements can be combined... For example, combine water and fire and you should be able to create steam..."
From the flow of dark energy, you also feel that Kek has changed something about your physiology.
The chaos god then draw a sigil in the air and a black portal opens in the middle of the room. "Enter the black gate and your new life will begin." He then throws a little green ball on the floor. A small toadman appears in a puff of smoke, armed a little spear. "But it's not that easy. First, you have to defeat this useless henchman of mine."

I simply give a shrug and continue ridding. I check the map in order to see how close the Beastman Kingdom is from the Elven Nation. While doing this, I ask why an ambassador would only travel with one person instead of an entourage.

"Guess I'm the avatar now? Let's dance boi!" I point at the spear-carrying toad.

"Let's start big!"

Fire, blazing, crackling, hot enough to kill by its presence alone.
Wind, free, uncontrolled, gentle enough to dance against a baby's skin and strong enough to take away its home.

A Firestorm

With the image of a tornado of flame in my mind, I point at my enemy and shout.

"Flame Tornado!"

Anti-capitalist... Traditional/tribal society...
Q: What race?
Rolls: 67, 78
A: Open of Masses
Masses: most common rarce. Human
Q: Why doesn't she have an entourage, is the Beastman Kingdom poor?
Odds: Likely
Roll: 20
A: Yes
Q: Is ambassador her true profession?
Odds: ?
Roll: 91
A: Critical No
Far from it, a commoner

Your map only shows the Malachite Theocracy but Ari tells you how to reach her country. First, you must go through the Elven Nation, which covers a vast forest. You must pass through Iokkovar, The Ancestor Valley, where small tribes of humans live. And only then, can you reach the Beastman Kingdom.
The reason that she doesn't have an entourage is that the Beastman Kingdom is extremely poor and has a very informal societal structure, so it's only somewhat of a part-time profession for her. She's born from a commoner family and was chosen as ambassador for her extreme cuteness.
She states that her cuteness is extremely important, and the main reason why you should protect her with your life.

"Fire"
You feel your entire body burn up with the element.
"Wind"
The fire gets carried away and forms a flame tornado as you had visualized. However, the tornado grows in size more than you could have imagined, fills the room, incinerates the toad man and its spear, and only disappears when it reaches Kek's throne.
Kek's thundering voice resonates again.
"What is this tornado? Was in an attempt on my life?"
He throws two new balls on the floor. Two human-sized toadmen appear on each side of his throne, with a normal-sized spear in their hand.
"Guards, this intruder tried to kill ME. Arrest him immediately!"
The guards jog toward you.

Visualizing a spell while you're running is not that easy... Nothing happens from your visualization, no hand pushes your back, but you manage to jump through the portal while Kek screams:
"NOOOOO!"
On the other side of the portal, it is pitch black, you can't see anything nor hear the slightest sound. The air is cold. The floor is paved.

These revelations make me fear for my wallet. I mull over what I’ve heard realizing that I might not even get my 20 silver back for the horse, much less paid for this bodyguard gig. Unfortunately it seems that pretty much every place south of Aermagh is either poor, dangerous, or some combination of the two. Perhaps the path of a thief might not be so lucrative in this corner of the world. I continue to ride on as I reflect on these circumstances I find myself in.

"Hmmm? Well, guess I'll explore the area. Not what I'd call the best start to an Isekai."

I'll be exploring the area to get my bearings, should I come across a suitable stick I'll light the tip of it to make a DIY torch.

>>3918074

Q: Can he find a suitable stick?
Odds: No Way
Roll: 92
A: Critical No
He can't find anything

You can't see anything, you're walking around like a blind man. Each corner, surface, is potentially a mortal danger. You can only hear your own breathing and your heart beating. You're not sure of what's around you: the only thing that you can tell for certain is that you are in a stone corridor. If there's a corridor, then there's probably an exit, somewhere. The corridor is entirely empty, you can't find any suitable stick.

"You would expect disgusting fishmen or even mindflayers to live in this environment"
Procrastinate to show: not certain it's there

You ride silently, both lost in your own thoughts.
On each side of the road is short grass and a bit further away, abnormal, tortured-looking trees. Between the trees, you think that you can see creatures with large black eyes, purple-red scales and some sort of flesh-like growth hanging from their mouth. You're not so sure if you actually saw something, or if it's just your imagination.

Seems there's nothing I could find to make a makeshift torch. I could light my shirt on fire and toss it? No, that's foolish, think! Elementalist, that's what I am. Of it has something to do with the elements I should be able to do it right? I'm reminded of the earth benders in Avatar and their earth sense.

Earth, Steadfast, strong, yet willing to be shaped by the hands of men.

This tomb hides a clockwork device

"Avatar: The Last Airbender" is a fake anime, it's definitely not canon in this Isekai.
...Yet, the elements do not care about this fact, for they blindly follow the harsh and rigid rules of physics and magic. Placing your hand on the stone wall, you open your mind to the message of the earth element. This stone is earth, you should be able to connect to it. At first, you feel nothing. Then, it is as if you developed a new, unknown sense. You can feel your surroundings... You have a rather clear sight of this corridor: you see that at one end, there's a door, at the other end, it makes a turn. You can feel that you are underground, on the first level of a maze complex... You can feel humanoids, on this very floor, small creatures holding spears... The other floors, you can't sense them very well, but a sound that comes from deeper in the earth dominates the other: this complex protects deep within a gigantic, clockwork device. You can hear the powerful mechanical wheels turning slowly.
Your Seismic Sense is not powerful enough to tell you finer details, such as the presence of a stick or traps.

Ari agrees to move faster, that is, as fast as she can, even though she doesn't notice any creature. She says:
"You seem paranoid, but it's better to be safe than sorry. Let's speed up."
Maybe she's right, about your paranoia. The area was marked as dangerous on the map, but it was, in fact, perfectly safe. After a few miles, the ground becomes drier and eventually, the creepy swamp turns into a normal forest of giant beech trees. The travellers are very few on this road; few people come from the Elven Nation.
Ari explains that there will be no villages or inns until you reach the elven border. At sunset, you make slower progress: as a wolf person, Ari has perfect night vision, but you don't. Later in the evening, you reach the Theocracy - Elven border. The border is not protected on the human side, but the elves have built a small wooden keep in one of the trees, with small blue fires on the sides of the road. The keep serves as both an outpost and an inn.
An elf official is ordering you to stop. He says, coldy:
"Greetings. State your business, strangers."
Ari answers, with a surprising polite tone:
"Greetings. I'm Ari, official ambassador of the Beastman Kingdom, and this is my guide. I'm seeking permission to travel through your noble nation."
"Are you registered with the Adventurer's Guild?"
Ari shakes her head. The elf pulls two cards from his pocket.
"OK. Here are your temporary travel permits. They expire in one week. Entry to our cities not permitted. Can travel on the roads and stay at the inns."
"Thank you, kind sir."
Ari hands you your ID card. She asks, with flattened ears again:
"Let's stay at this outpost for the night... But, do you have money?"
Embarrassing.

1) It works like a freeform tabletop RPG. You are the player: you describe your actions, ask your questions. And I describe the environment.

Using my new sense to understand the layout of my surroundings I make my way towards the door I sensed, at a methodical pace. After a certain amount of steps, I decided to remove my left sock, lighting it on fire and tossing it on the ground in the direction I'm traveling.

A fire, burning slow, just enough to feed but not lose control.
The image of a campfire settles.

"Campfire" I whisper.

Q: Does the fire spell work?
Elemental Magic: Willpower + 1 RS (Kek's gift) = Exceptional
Difficulty: Minuscule + 1 RS (slowly burning) = Weak
Roll: 95
A: No

The fire energy is definitely there but it fizzles in your fingers. It looks like magic is fickle: sometimes too weak, sometimes too strong. The campfire will be for another day.

A: Celebrate of Randomness
A statue of Kek
Chaos Level temporarily changed to 9 in the presence of an image of Kek

Before you even reach the door, Seismic Sense goes through it and informs you of what's in the room.
A massive statue of the frog god Kek sitting in lotus position. In your inner thoughts, the phrase "Tyranny is my birthright" repeats twice. On the left side is the altar; on the right, a smaller statue, perhaps his wife Keket, or an unrelated deity. You can also sense an indefinite number of smaller objects: pedestals, cabinets, something else, you can't tell. You do not sense any living creature inside.

The entrance of the inn is through a wooden stairs up to the trees, and a beautiful wooden door with teal-colored glass. The main building is very basic and doesn't have much furniture, a perfect example of minimalist, harmonious house design. The menu is entirely vegan and the specialty is tofu steak. Through wooden ladders, you can reach the other parts of the inn, such as the sauna and the garden where they collect the food.

Roll: 43
A: Yes

You don't have to worry about Ari, as she goes to the sauna too.
In the sauna, you feel good, relaxed and focused, enveloped in warmth from the hot air. This is the perfect time to think about your plans. Also, you can wash off the disgusting wolf blood that was covering you.
On the other side of the wall, you can hear Ari singing simple songs, such as "Midnight Tonight" and "Best Dreams".

"Now he's an angel in my dreams
He is my love and the reason I sleep
He's calling my name in the wind
Oh, let us go home together"

It seems that she has the habit of speaking out loud, and you can hear some of her privates thoughts. Her sister has been imprisoned unjustly and she's thinking about ways to get her out. But her ideas are too extravagant and none are realistic. She thinks about plans to break the walls or seduce the guards.

"Q: Does this world use the concept of mana
A: Yes"

You can enter the room. Seismic Sense does not reveal anything new about it.
Focusing on this dubious mantra and inspired by the statue, you do manage to clear your mind. You can sense your magical power as a kind of aura that envelops you and connects to everything that surrounds you. You can see that your aura is green in color. It looks clear and very realistic, almost as if you were seeing it with your eyes. You can shape it in your mind through different forms. Also, from playing with the magic, you intuitively feel that your reserves of magic are limited.

Of course, it's all right. Here we go.
You were browsing the /qst/ board on 4chan when suddenly you died (describe your death, by default it's heart attack). You wake up in a dim lit, spacious Egyptian temple with ornamented pillars. On a cyclopean throne sits a frog monstrosity, its fat flesh hanging on the floor. It speaks to you with a cavernous voice:
"You've died." It laughs. "I'm Kek, god of chaos. No introductions needed, I hope. As you were a member of the 4chan community, you get to resurrect in a new, magical world. That's the pact I've made with your remote viewers and meme magicians."
He pauses, expecting you to die of a heart attack. But the smell of incense burning in the room has made you a bit high and rather apathetic.
"Not bad, you've survived my frightful presence. YOU ARE QUIET, I CAN'T HEAR YOU. I'm bored. Let's get over with it and choose your new profession."

One painful experience brought on by clumsiness, a sharp furniture corner, and an old computer cord I kept forgetting to pick up later, I find myself being told I'm dead by a giant frog god.

Then he tells me he'll be sending me to a fantasy world, and I think my eyes almost literally lit up.

"Oh this is going to be AWESOME! Thank you!" I say, feeling it's important to show gratitude before I begin thinking about the professions.

"Hmm, Priest I guess, I'm always the healer/support in my games. Though will this be like dnd where I'll have to praise a god in order to use my power?" I ask tentatively. I'm not a fan of having to depend on a god for my strength 24/7, and risk losing my powers if I do something they dislike, but I'm hesitant to vocalize all of that when in front of a self proclaimed god of chaos.

"Are there any hidden bonus classes I can eventually work towards? I'd love to be a Sage someday." I add in, remembering my favorite class from Dragon Quest.

As you're out of funds, you could only get one bedroom. Of course, Ari will not share a bed with you, so you spend the night on a sofa, which, to be fair, is much more comfortable than the stables. The beginning of the night is peaceful, until it starts raining and thundering outside. It sounds like a really bad thunderstorm.
In the morning, Ari throws a pillow on you to wake you up. It's still raining heavily and the wind is very strong.
"Good morning. "
She stretches.
"I think we'll spend the day in the inn. It would be too dangerous to ride in the thunderstorm, as it would definitely spook the horses."
Not to mention, wolves...
"What to eat for breakfast? Oh, the same as yesterday. Rice cake..."
She pouts.

"I will share an interesting fact with you. Did you know that WHEN I SPEAK LIKE THIS, it creates a THUNDERSTORM in the Isekai below? Anyway."
"Yes, a priest is a champion of a deity, so you have to choose a deity to worship."
He puts his paws on his temples.
"Hmm... I can see... You are agnostic. Interesting. You better make a quick choice."
"Hidden bonus classes, it's not that easy. You might get one if you spin the wheel, but you won't get to choose what it is."
"That wouldn't quite be interesting otherwise, DON'T YOU AGREE?"
You can feel from his eyes rolling in multiple directions that the god is getting impatient with your questions.

Having learned this knowledge I'm in a better mood. Sighing I stand up and make my way out the room, but not before bowing and closing the door. After that, I'm off in the direction of the beings I felt. Hoping that I can observe or ambush them if the opportunity presents itself.

With Seismic Sense, you see that the corridor leads to a square shaped room with 3 doors; the room seems empty except for a small table and something lying on it. Inside the room, 3 toadmen appear to be kicking a 4th toadman who's lying on the floor in a defensive position. Its mouth is hanging open and dripping with a liquid. From the vibrations on the ground, you can also tell that this fine gentleman is getting kicked in the stomach by the others. Due to your surprise presence in the complex and their current activity, it seems fair to assume that this is a good opportunity for an ambush.

>>3919456
>>3919483
Good question.
My understanding is that you are all in the same dimension, because in the previous thread, you had appeared in the same city as the other player. That would mean that if you are at the same place and time as another player, then you could theoretically be able interact with them. Thus, this would be in fact a multiplayer thread.

Kek laughs and laughs at your game show host voice.
“I thought doing voices was my specialty, but you’re really good.”
He raises his left paw: a flow of dark energy enters your body. "You are now a DARK KNIGHT OF VICE. When you want to channel one of your dark powers, all you have to do is pray to a demon of your choice. If you have no demon in mind…"
He puts his paws on his temples again, to gain telepathic knowledge about you.
“…Praying to Bernie Sanders should do.”
"You can channel a specific one of the seven deadly sins to gain powers unique to each, 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.”
From the flow of dark energy, you also feel that Kek has changed something about your physiology and trained your muscle memory to combat.
The chaos god then draw a sigil in the air and a black portal opens in the middle of the room. "Enter the black gate and your new life will begin." He then throws a little green ball on the floor. A small toadman appears in a puff of smoke, armed a little spear. "But it's not that easy. First, you have to defeat this useless henchman of mine."

"I spun the wheel because I didn't want to pray to a god. Now I have to pray to demons instead. This is kinda hilarious in an 'oh my god what have I done' kind of way. Well, at least I have some basic combat ability. Have at thee, lowly minion!" I say, trying to summon a false bravado to hype myself up for my first fight and hide the despair I felt at the class I rolled. Hopefully I could dodge the first spear attack, then get close enough to make it a liability, and try to grapple the spear out of his hands while punching the creature in the face.

Also, hopefully I could get by on never summoning a demon. I'd have to look into class changes or something in the new world, if such a thing was even possible.

“This is hilarious, indeed. I find this situation most entertaining.”
The toadman is visibly nervous, but has the advantage of long reach. He points the spear at your legs, with both his hands. You try to dodge it, but you are too slow to avoid the attack. You feel a sharp pain, yet you can still stand up. What a foolish move! With the weapon jammed in your muscle, you are free to punch the small creature in the face. The repeated hits crush his jaw.
The toadman is now lying on the floor, disarmed, begging for his life to be spared.
Kek applauds.

You enter the room, lit by torches and oil lamps on a shelf. Finally, you can see with your own eyes. On the small table lies a pair of dice. Using more of your magic resources, the steam geyser springs out of your hands and boils the 3 toadmen alive. Part of their skin is blown off by the force of the gush. Would it taste good with garlic? Probably. Behind the smoke, the 4th toadman, on the floor, survives. He opens his mouth and speaks with a weak, croaking voice…

"Gosh table flipping dang it I'm not even IN the other world yet and I'm wounded." The stream of non-profanities was as much to help bear with the pain as it was to help with the frustration. At least my opponent surrendered. I was feeling pretty pissed off, and briefly wondered if killing the toadman in a fit of petty anger would somehow count as tapping into wrath enough for some kind of healing miracle, but dismissed the thought for two reasons.

One, that was kind of a reach in logic.

Two, I had never killed anyone before, and while i was fine with the idea of it philosophically speaking, especially against a monster, killing a being actively begging for its life didn't sit right with me.

"I won't kill ya, you're free to go. If you know how to fix this leg though I'd appreciate it." I said to the minor frog creature, trying to offer a genuine smile despite the pain.

Assuming the being knew nothing of mending wounds, this still left the issue regarding my BLEEDING LEG! Giving a sigh, I tried to ignore my thoughts on how this was going to hurt, and slowly removed the spear, before removing my shirt to reveal a white undershirt, which I also removed before putting the turquoise shirt back on.

Now with a fabric in hand, I attempted to bandage the wound, which pretty much equated to just tying it tightly around my leg. I didn't have any medical skills after.all.

It was difficult to do while keeping the spear in the crook of one arm, but even if I had chosen to spare my opponent I wasn't about to give its weapon back.

Plus, spears are cool, and I wanted it as my own.

He touches your wound with his slimy hands and recite and short prayer in Japanese.
“Keku-shin-sama, kono kizu o iyashite kudasai.”
Small sparkles of light come out of his hands, but his magic is not powerful enough to heal you. He turns toward Kek and bows again.
“Keku-shin-sama, kono kizu o iyashite kudasai.”
Kek answers.
“Who do you think I am? A healbot?”
He raises his paw.
“May the will of primordial darkness, kkw, be done.”
Dark primordial energy flows toward your wound and heals you completely. No need to reveal yet the color of your undershirt.
Kek’s eyes start to roll in every direction again, and green slime comes out of his mouth.
“What is it we were talking about? I don’t remember…”
He regains lucidity and his gaze fixes on you, but not with a look of hatred, only mild impatience.
“Oh, you’re still here? Are you going to make more funny voices?”

With my leg healed up, a weapon in hand, and a portal to adventure, it was pretty clear it was time to get going.

The forgetful and most likely terrifyingly capricious God of Chaos drooling green slime and rolling his eyes in their sockets was also a very solid argument for why staying here was a bad idea.

"I was just about to leave, thank you very much for healing me, and, well, everything else!" The spear, the powers, and chance to live in a fantasy world.

"See ya later!" I said with a smile and a wave as I rushed through the portal. It was time to wrap up this prologue!

It appears that you are in a sand desert, under a bright blue sky and the scorching hot sun, and nothing but an endless expanse of sand in every direction. The temperature is at about 25°C.

According to Google that's only 77 or so degrees Fahrenheit.

Looking around at a vast desert, I could feel my heart drop. "Oh fuck, I might actually die out here before finding civilization." I realized, also realizing that if I hadn't been lucky enough to get my wound healed I would definitely have ended up dying out here. "At least now I have a chance if I'm lucky. I don't have any desert survival skills though, which means either I find water or civilization in three days, or I die."

Despite the gravity of the situation, I couldn't really feel distressed. Maybe because I was still feeling fine at the moment, or maybe the general weirdness of my post death experiences thus far had me in shock. Regardless, all I could really feel when face to face with endless desert was a "well, time to get going and see what happens." And shrug. I adjusted my grip on the spear so I could use it somewhat as a walking stick, and decided to just start walking. Other than being extra sure to try and keep an eye out for anything of interest, I didn't have any other idea what to do.

A: No
Q: Does Terry learn anything about the saber?
Odds: ?
Roll: 93
A: Critical No
As already established. Due to his training in wrestling, he's considered somewhat proficient with weapons, so the bar is set rather high for him to learn new moves.

With a feathered hat, you surely look elegant and noble practicing a few saber moves and different stances. Due to your background as a wrestler, you already know strong and steady stances. This is a key to success in any form of fighting. You can't figure out anything new about the weapon, but your practice helps you to get a sense of its weight and balance when in motion, as well as give you physical exercise. That's not a bad use of your time.

You start walking. "The temperature is not that bad", you think. Then you begin sweating, your precious body water evoporating under the sun. After walking for a while, you feel tired. You don't know where you are going, but it doesn't look like you're going very far. Eventually, your instinct of survival kicks in.
As things are starting to look desperate, you spot an oasis in the distance, and walk in that direction. As you get closer, you see water, trees, a plantation of watermelon, a few camels and tents.

Here's some traditional xianxia music. This is the theme song of The Journey of Flower.

Please don't have me die in the middle of nowhere in a desert...

Please don't have me die...

Please...

Oh hell yes! Is that actual water? Plant life!? Signs of potentially other human beings!?! I nearly shed a tear in joy but my body wasn't about to so superflously spend water when I was this dehydrated. I quickened my pace just a bit, and even the watermelons looked delicious to me by the time I reached them.

Of course, eating crops without permission was a good way to get oneself accused of thievery, and itnwas obvious I wasn't the only person here.

"Hello! Any chance I can help myself to some water and maybe some food? I don't have any money but I'll work off the debt if I need to." I said, shuffling to the source of water as I spoke.

Chance of survival had increased, at least as long as these people didn't turn out to be bandits or ruthless slavers. Slave trade and desert settings often seemed to go together after all. My main goal was to secure food and water and shelter, then gather information on the surrounding lands, and eventually make my way to a cooler climate. I did not want to stay in the desert any longer than I had to.

From there, operation 'desperately hope there is a way I can get a not bad guy class' would begin.

At first, he doesn't understand.
"Surface?"
But after you reword your sentence with simpler words, he nods.
"Yes... Me Toad-Head."
He tells you to follow him.
"Friend... Come..."
He opens the door in the middle, and walks. Surprisingly, there are no other soldiers in the corridors. More than likely, the toadmen focus their defensive troops at the entrance. When you reach the stairs that lead outside, Toad-Head says:
"You... Hush... You... Slave. OK?"

Delicious. The water tastes like the best water you've ever drank. Just when you were about to die of thirst, you have a sip. It would be an exaggeration to say that it's clean and pure, but it might as well be.
A bearded man dressed in traditional Arabian attire comes out of a tent, a scimitar hanging from his belt. A smiles comes across his face.

Very far from it

Welcome to the Isekai. You come out of the mouth of a gigantic frog head carved in stone. You're in the middle of a swamp, and it's raining heavily. A group of soldiers are waiting there and point their spears in your direction. When they see Toad-Head behind you, they lower the weapons. He speaks:
"Shinpaishinaide, youjin, kare wa watashi no petto no doreidesu."
The soldiers exchange glances and ask him:
"Naniii??? Dou yatte petto o katta no?"
You feel nervous as you have no idea what they are talking about.
"Dōshite yakedo shita no?"
Toad-Head answers, carefully choosing his words.
"Hokanohito wa watashi o ijimemashita, soshite watashi wa watashi no tame ni watashi no petto no tatakai o shimashita."
One of the soldiers exclaims:
"Koun sugiru!!!"
The soldier makes a hand gesture, signaling you that you can leave. Toad-Head bows humbly before him and pushes you on the path. You both keep walking until you're out of sight.

Critical: the same answer will be given to all training sessions in the next days.

Due to Kek blessing you with superior dexterity, your shooting feels extremely accurate. You can hit most of your targets and have a good feel of your weapon. Even against a moving target, you have a great timing instinct. The sky is the limit. You do not learn any new trick from this practice session, but it was really great fun.

Somewhat annoyed that I reached a plateau by doing absolutely nothing I decide it’s time to pack it in. I leave the refreshing rain and return to the room. My trust in Ari hasn’t completely plummeted but to say I’m not somewhat worried would be a concern. She seems to be very impulsive.

I have no idea if this guy is gonna con me or not. I'm acutely aware that I'm at this guy's mercy in terms of what the price of things are, and the customs of this land. Unfortunately, I've never been capable of 'playing it cool' and smoothly deducing people's intentions while masking my own. My plan has always been to just be as genuine as possible and put faith in others, and hope I'm talking to someone who won't abuse my naivete too harshly.

It worked when I had a network of friends and family to help me out, but now it could seriously backfire. I could try to lie, but I don't feel like I'd get anywhere, and I'm too hungry to bother with social politics or whatever...

"Oh, uh, thank you." I say, in response to the compliment on my clothes. "Unfortunately, I really have no idea how to describe where I'm from. A god of chaos dumped me into the middle of the desert for reasons unknown, and I don't even have any idea how crazy that sounds." I give a nervous chuckle, somewhat subconsciously.

"What can I do to repay you for food, shelter, and information? I don't have any money, but I'm willing to trade my clothes for the local equivalent and some money if that's an option." I said with a shrug. "Otherwise, what work could I do?"

Mentally, I made a list of things I'd likely need, such as a map, clothes to blend in, and a canteen or waterskin, to name a few.

He shows you a pond with murky waters.
"Here... Bury... Dead."
Finally, Toad-Head answers your questions.
"I don't know Japanese... I say... Good slave petto... Kill bully. Mean-face soldier say... Lucky..."
In a strange way, the toadman's voice sounds harmonious under the rain.
"Want come... Toad-Head home?"

While you took a walk under the rain and practiced your fighting skills, Ari has stayed in the bedroom. You find her snuggled up under the blankets. When she sees you, she throws a pillow on you and complains that she's hungry and bored.

>>3920753
When you chuckle, the man puts his hand on your shoulder. He says:
"Yeah, that sounds absolutely crazy, you should go easy on the haschich. Don't worry about work."
He taps your shoulder.
"Stay right there, I'll be right back."
He goes to the tent to fetch rope and comes back. He grabs your wrist and asks you:
"So what is your home country called?"
(Possibly, you answer)
He adds:
"Let's do the ritual, now."

Huh, I wonder what he's going to go get.

Oh. A rope. That's.... raising all kinds of bad flags.

"Uh, my home country is called America. What country am I in now?" I add, tensing up a little as he grabs my wrist.

"Uhm, what ritual, exactly?" I was getting a pretty bad vibe about all of this, but I wasn't sure what to do. If this was an attempt at enslaving me, should I fight back? I mean, working hard for food and shelter would at least help me lose some weight, but I'd much prefer a job over enslavement for who knows how long.

Could I even win a fight against him though? Do I have what it takes to kill another human being over this? If he was trying to kill me, I could fight back in earnest, but...

As all these thoughts swirled in my mind, I just stood there, ready to try and get some distance from the man if he tried to cut me or draw blood for some kind of dark contract, my other hand keeping a firm grip on my spear.

"For entertainment, I like anything dangerous or tricky..."
She tells you to come closer and points a finger at your ear.
"What's that? There's something behind your ear."
She lifts her hand to your ear, gently pulls on it, and shows you a rice cake.
"Oh, that's what it was."
She repeats the same trick with the other ear, but this time, she shows you a slice of apple pie.
"I can't help but steal things... I know it's terrible and I'm not supposed to do that as an ambassador, but... I stole the pie from the kitchen."

"This country is called Wadirma. How can you not know that?..."

"This is the ritual of brotherhood."

Toad-Head brings you to a hole made in a small mound. He introduces you to his wife, who looks exactly like the male toadmen except that she has longer eyelashes and wears subtle make-up that makes her look youthful, but not too young. He explains that you burned his coworkers, and she shakes your hand happily. Inside the hole, there's nothing at all except what seems to be a bed made of dry grass, and a small wooden cabinet. The floor is slightly wet.
"Wife make meal."
His wife brings you a pair of wooden chopsticks and a plate with various dead bugs: mosquitoes, grasshoppers and worms.

At the mention of a ritual of brotherhood, I can't help but raise an eyebrow. "What's the ritual of brotherhood entail? Why would you want to be brothers with a complete stranger?"

And that's all that's left of the southern regions, now. A burned land, cursed by demons, cursed by the gods, only inhabited by tribes and armies of orcs, undead and other abominations."

I'm not fast but I'll work hard with any heavy lifting if it'll get me some food and shelter. Would have preferred to just be an employee though." I mumbled the last bit. I guess it was odd to choose slavery, but being a bandit meant harassing others and threatening lives, and that just wasn't me. I don't even think I could pretend it was.

Q: Will they make him an eunuch?
Odds: Very Likely
Roll: 27
A: Yes

Luqman raises his palm to express approval.
"Very well, you know your place," he says.
You notice the stench of body odor in the tent.
"For the second part of the ritual, we are going to make you a majbub."
(You guess that "majbub" means "eunuch".)
"This part is very hard, but we will get you through it."
The men clear the table from the weapons as Luqman grabs more rope from a chest.
"Of course, it is necessary to tie you up to the table."
One of the other men grabs an ornamented dagger with a curved blade and dips it in a bowl of anise-flavored liqueur.

"Oh."

I wasn't sure how in the world I managed to intuitively understand what was about to happen to me if I continued to comply, but I was thankful I did. Even though, with a sharp inhale through my nose, I both ignored the horrible stench, and realized that I'd likely have to kill people.

I mean, mutilation is pretty dang painful, and even if they don't plan to kill me, even someone as meek as I has to draw the line somewhere.

On the plus side, they were bandits, so my conscience would be clear. I was more worried about how I'd likely need to tap into my blatantly evil power set in order to escape

I took a solid step back towards the exit of the tent, straightened my posture, and finally let some of my frustration into my tone. "I'm afraid I must sternly refuse to partake in the rest of this ritual then." I said plainly, preparing to fight off anyone who approached me. Ideally I could get a bladed weapon and free my hands, but while I began working on undoing the knots, I also began mentally reaching inward.

I'm a Dark Knight of Vice, right? If there was a time to tap into my wrath, or summon the power of Bernie Sanders, it was now.

You try to grab a bladed weapon, but with your hands tied up, it's impossible to beat the men to it. Two of them grab your feet while a third pushes you to make you fall on the floor. You try working on the knots with your nature strength, but it only makes the knot tighter.
Summoning. Bernie Sanders does work. Your power is entirely intuitive and cannot be described properly with language. It is as if time had stopped and you had reached a place of pure darkness. You feel the spirit of Bernie Sanders in front of you, talking to you. This his not his direct consciousness but an emanation of your spiritual powers. This is what mystics call a "tulpa".

"Let me begin by thanking you for choosing me as the focus of your power. Together, we have begun a spiritual revolution to transform your very being and channel the unique power of wrath - a transformation based on the principles of social and racial justice, and nonviolence.
I am proud I began my career as the active organizer of the Congress of Racial Equality as well as the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.
I have come here today not to talk about the past but about the future. You are to defend the rights of all minorities."
He pauses and looks at you directly in the eyes.
"This is not a political speech. I'm talking to you directly, William. You are not to kill a man of color and neglect his right to live just because you view him as a bandit. I don't accept this colonialist view of your presence in Wadirma. If you don't believe that this decision is important, take a moment to think about their entire life and their culture."
His voice increasingly gains strength.
"I BESTOW THE POWER OF WRATH TO YOU. YOU ARE TO DIRECT YOUR WRATH NOT AT OTHERS. THE POWER OF WRATH IS TO BE DIRECTED AT YOURSELF."
As the politician speaks to you, you begin feeling a more refined form of wrath.
"THIS WRATH MANIFESTS AS THE POWER TO INTIMIDATE OTHERS VERBALLY. YOUR POWER WILL HENCEFORTH MANIFEST WHEN YOU MAKE WRATHFUL FACIAL EXPRESSIONS. CHANNEL YOUR WRATH TO NEGOTIATE A STATUS OF SLAVE THAT IS BENEFICIAL TO BOTH PARTIES."

You are still in the tent. Your intuitive vision only took a split second. All of it was entirely intuitive speech, a form of speech that you could never have imagined to exist before.

>Wrath: by using wrathful facial expression, you may increase your power to intimidate others, giving a +1 RS to tense social checks

Being scolded by Bernie Sanders was not what I was expecting, but admittedly, it was pretty cool. Much better than summoning an actual demon at least.

"To be fair, this has nothing to do with him being a person of color, and he declared themselves bandits. You're right about this decision being important though. I don't want to kill anybody if I can help it. I just kind of assumed I'd have to at some point once I entered this world." Moving past this moment of reflection, I began channeling the wrath I felt through my face and voice.

"CEASE THIS FOOLISHNESS AT ONCE! I come to you willingly offering my service to your cause in exchange for food and shelter. I bring my own weapon and skills and show willingness to pledge them to your service. All I ask in return is to be treated with decency, that you not mutilate or brand me, and allow me to serve as a friend and ally, and not as a beast or animal. IS THIS NOT ENOUGH!? DO I NOT DESERVE TO BE TREATED AS A HUMAN BEING MUCH LIKE YOURSELVES!?" I begin trying to stand as I hope my words have reached them. "I allowed my arms to be bound as a show of good faith, and I offered to trade the very clothes on my back for suitable garb, so you could have this finery for yourselves to sell or study as you wish. Have I erred in trusting you? Have I erred in treating you all the way I myself would like to be treated?" At this point, I honestly felt angier than I did in the beginning. I made a damn good case here, and if they truly would hold no respect for me, then their cruelty would not be forgiven.

Critical: the bandits forgive his violent behavior.

You unleash your wrath on the bandits. At first they do not care: they are fighting for their life because you tried to steal their weapons. They are 4 against 1, your hands are tied up, but they are only 4 puny bandits against a man of superior strength. However, as you get angrier and angrier, your facial expressions become scarier, and twist your face into the face of your demonic patron. You're no longer William, you're the incarnation of Bernie Sanders. The bandits are impressed and ask you to calm down.
Luqman orders his subalterns to brings the weapons to another tent, so that you do not attempt anything dangerous, only keeping his own scimitar. He invites you to sit on a pillow.
"Let's clarify the situation. It's for your own good that I want to make you a majbub."
He pours a bowl of liqueur and hands it to you.
"Northerners sell for a high price on the market, and a majbub is worth 10 times as much as a normal slave. I thought you'd be bought by some rich man, perhaps a tribe leader or even a sultan, and live a good, peaceful life."
"I truly want you to be my brother, I just can't afford to keep you. I don't need someone to work for me, I need more water, and only that."

Human bandits have been attracted to the elven border

The entire inn is the outpost, but the guard has a small cabin outside for his functions. He's currently outside in the rain, facing a group of four humans who want to enter the Elven Nation, but have been declined entry. They are all wearing the same dark-colored outfit, decorated with various symbols. Most repugnant is their foul language and aggressive tone. Their leader is of a stocky build and has a long scar on the left side of his face, which has a strongly defined bone structure.
"You let us in, elf-boy," he says. "That's bullshit!"
"Yeah, fuck you", another says, behind him.
The elf's posture is impeccably rigid and calm, and he does not answer to their provocation.

I accept the liquor, but don't drink it. Not out of paranoia, but simple desire to keep a clear head (plus, due to a long history of family alcoholics, I'd decided to stay away from the stuff). I almost gave a derisive snort when he said it had been for my own good, but I let him explain further before expressing anything.

"Better pay for you, and a better life for me. I'd rather run North as I am now and risk the desert's wrath than be made a majbub though. Culturally for me it's kind of a fate worse than death sort of thing, and an insult to my honor." I tried to explain, rolling his last statement around in my head.

"What are the ways you can secure more water? If selling me as I am now wouldn't be profitable, maybe I could help with another method, even if it's more dangerous. Any idea if a dam or well would help anywhere, or a source of water guarded by something not human or human-like?"

A favorite spell

The life in the swamp is highly uncomfortable, but at the same time, awesome. All of your days are productive and busy, and every evening, all the muscles of your body are sore.
Toad-Head’s one-month training program is simple. Every morning, you wake up before dawn and jog for 30 minutes. Then begin the sparring sessions. For strength training, Toad-Head makes you lift and push heavy tree logs and rocks. He builds a human-sized spear just for you and teaches you everything that he knows, from formal stances to dirty tricks. From a pure protein diet of only bugs, you lose fat and gain muscles. Sometimes, as a delicacy, you get to eat insect caviar.
When he’s at work, you practice your magical and meditation powers. You discover that your magical energy regenerates fully when you have a full night of rest, but only partially when you sleep less than 7 hours. (Describe, if you wish, your favorite spell. This spell will be cast at lower difficulty level due to your practice.)
In the evening, you hang out inside and share stories about each other’s culture. Toad-Head is pleasant company, very friendly and respectful.

If you run north, you will only die in the sand. So really, slavery as you had initially accepted is a good and just deal.”
Your previous words, “I'm in the slave category”, come back to mind. He pours a mixture of tea and coffee in a bowl, and hands it to you.

According to Toad, by going through Exoran, you'd have at least a slight chance of survival, whereas elsewhere, you would certainly get eaten by the first orc patrol that crosses your path. The part of the swamp that borders Exoran is avoided by the toadmen, because those who go there either die in an abnormal fashion or go missing.

You're not sure if Ari can fight as you've never discussed this topic, nor have seen her fight. The fact that she needs to be escorted and doesn't carry weapons suggests that she can't fight. Yet, intuitively, you feel that she can. From your observations, she has good balance and quick reflexes. Also, she was able to bite and wound Artus, her previous guide, and there's this murder in Summerhold that she was involved with. Her background is definitely not simple.
The human bandits keep insulting the elven guard, but he doesn't move. Eventually, they give up. You hear their leader say that it's not worth going to elven prison for killing someone who's both a "punk" and a "faggot". As revenge against the elven people, they're going to cause trouble in the inn and harrass the customers.

He pours you another bowl, and watches your mouth carefully to see if you enjoy it.
"There are two important things that you must know about this country. The first is that Iconoclasm is the strongest philosophical value. Never mention any form of art, including music, in public. That's too strong of a taboo. The second thing to know is that there's a plague epidemic. Don't speak with any leper, beggar or any of the lower class people.

The only problem is I'm a slave and he may want to cut my dick off. Wheels within wheels as I hope to someday escape. Though maybe only after I've managed to get sold to somebody with more resources, and have gained more information.

"I appreciate the hospitality, Luqman. I must admit I'm especially fond of cheese, though I figure it'd be best for me to lose most of the fat I've accrued over my previous lifestyle." I said, not really having any point to make but making conversation. I take another drink, honestly not sure if I like the taste or not, but too thirsty to really care. Plus, I can see his expectant expression, and I'd prefer to be a good guest... Is guest even the right phrase when I'm going to be a slave?

"Understood, though how would I be a Majbub of the Sultan if I'm not a Majbub?" I asked, wondering if that was a hint about a trap about to ensnare me. Regardless, I held my tongue and held a moment of silence when he mentioned his dead brothers, respecting his moment of mourning. Then it was time to meet the other slaves, and to have more restraints placed upon me. "I'd prefer not to have my legs bound too, but I won't fight about it if it's necessary." I say, knowing I'd likely regret not fighting this, but not having the heart to attack someone who has been showing me kindness in their own way.

"Is it ever possible for a slave to earn their freedom, later on?" I ask before we leave the tent, if there is a legitimate way to earn my freedom later, a few months of labor wouldn't be too bad, but if not, I'd need to start making plans for my eventual escape, whether from Luqman or whoever he sold me to.

You jog around the trees so that you can reach the guard from behind. Meanwhile, Ari walks enthusiastically to him. She puts both of her fists under her chin and smiles: the ultimate kawaii pose.
"Hey there! I'm Ari! I think you were sooo manly! Those vile rascals were insulting you, but you didn't even move as much as an eyebrow," she exclaims loudly.
"Just doing my job. You'll get wet and catch a cold. Go back to the inn."
Behind him, Terry's faint shadow.
"Come on. I'm just making conversation. You don't think I'm cute?"
"To be honest, you're not really my type", the guard answers.
Terry's dextrous hand digs into his pocket and pulls the cards out. The guard doesn't feel anything.
"Well, that's not a nice thing to say. I'm leaving then. Bye-bye."
The guards watches her leave, confused.

"Are there other Isekai victims in the area?
A: yes"

>"Understood, though how would I be a Majbub of the Sultan if I'm not a Majbub?"
"That was a mere slip of the tongue. I meant a slave of the sultan, of course."
He answers the other question while cuffing your ankles.
>"Is it ever possible for a slave to earn their freedom, later on?"
"In this camp, it's too late for you to become a bandit because everyone has seen your weakness. But when you work for the sultan, if you're highly obedient, useful and clever, you can definitely earn your freedom. It's not unheard of that a slave who's good at tactics earns his freedom and becomes a general."
You both walk to the large tent where the slaves reside. Most of the slaves are male, but there are a few females. They all appear to be fearful or even traumatised. To much of your surprise, all of the slaves wear modern clothes such as jeans and sneakers. In one corner of the tent, there's the corpse of a dead man in an early stage of decomposition. Luqman tells you that he'll call you when it's time for dinner and he leaves.

>>3924306
Squeamish shouldn't activate around corpses or animals, only wounded or sick living people. It's less a "grossed out by the sight/smell" and more "empathetically seeing people hurt or suffering unnerves him" kinda thing.

I wasn't sure if it was really a mere slip of the tongue, but I decided to shrug it off for now. Hearing there could be a way to earn my freedom was nice to know, though it sounded like it'd be difficult to earn it and leave rather than be promoted to a less slave style position. My plan would still need to consider both options.

What awaited me when I saw the other slaves, I could never have been prepared for. The corpse was unnerving enough, but the fact that everyone here... looked like they came from my world...

"Holy hell, you're all from earth too, aren't you? Did everyone here get sent here by Kek, or does anyone have a different backstory?" It was easy enough to feel anger at what felt like betrayal, realizing that there were others like me that had suffered. They way they held expressions of fear or signs of deep trauma, it occured to me I might be the only one not to have suffered up to this point. I turned my anger from an inferno into ice. I knew immediately I'd have to help these people escape. Even if I was willing to try and negotiate a life of slavery, these people clearly had been through enough and deserved freedom.

"Anyone among you the leader of all of us slaves? My name is William, and I feel we have a lot we need to talk about." I said, introducing myself to the crowd.

I'm in the GMT +1 timezone and my posting is erratic.
What is your specific ethnicity?
Here's the intro to Kek's Isekai.

You were browsing the /qst/ board on 4chan when suddenly you died (describe your death, by default it's heart attack). You wake up in a dim lit, spacious Egyptian temple with ornamented pillars. On a cyclopean throne sits a frog monstrosity, its fat flesh hanging on the floor. It speaks to you with a cavernous voice:
"You've died." It laughs. "I'm Kek, god of chaos. No introductions needed, I hope. As you were a member of the 4chan community, you get to resurrect in a new, magical world. That's the pact I've made with your remote viewers and meme magicians."
He pauses, expecting you to die of a heart attack. But the smell of incense burning in the room has made you a bit high and rather apathetic.
"Not bad, you've survived my frightful presence. YOU ARE QUIET, I CAN'T HEAR YOU. I'm bored. Let's get over with it and choose your new profession."

You're out of cash, but you pickpocket some change to buy tofu steak and you eat peacefully with Ari. Finally, some meat, although that is technically not meat. The bandits are getting drunk and cause a ruckus, making rude comments about the physical attributes of the elven maid. A bit later, the guard who was outside enters the common room and confronts the bandits.
"You dogs have stolen the ID cards! Give them back immediately!"
The bandits deny having stolen anything and yell more insults at him. This time, he calls for reinforcement and they quickly and efficiently decapitate the four savages, under the general applauds of the customers. The maid sighs:
"More work for me."
As she proceeds on cleaning the parquet from the blood.
The day is long and you meet several people. The first person that you speak too is a middle-aged mercenary, who compliments your outfit and appearance, and tries to recruit you for the army in their fight against the orcs. He stays in the inn semi-permanently to recruit travellers from other nations. But, the real reason he stays there, is because he enjoys too much the delightful company of the elven maids.
Another person that you meet is a mystic dressed in a dark green cloak, who sits alone. He introduces himself as Megh, a yogi of the Kek-worshipping school. He shares his opinion, that he believes most kings, heroes and historical figures of the world come from a parallel dimension that is blessed by Kek, with the purpose of bringing holy randomness to the world. Most people think him crazy, but he has detected spiritual and cultural patterns in many events that do not match the traditional culture of the world.

You continue your training routine with Toad-Head and Bez, his wife. The training is ruthless, designed to turn you into an elite warrior. The Path of the Frog, he calls it. A four-day condensed program to push your martial abilities to their limit. He teaches you that to improve your fighting stance, you need to improve your balance. He makes you stand on one foot to strengthen your ankle tendons, sometimes hitting you with a bamboo cane. He makes you kick small trees with your bare shins, to strengthen your bones. Push-ups, crunches and squats. Your blood and sweat cover the floor and merge with the swamp.
In the little free time that he allows you, you meditate on the nature of magic. With a calm head, in a perfect half-lotus position, you relax your muscles and focus on your breathing. "This is wind", you think, with a clear head. "Tyranny is my birthright." You visualize the four elements and understand that your body is a simply a mix of elements. You conclude that using magic, you should be able to boost your natural abilities or even radically transform your body. Of course, a transformation sounds dangerous, so you're wary about it.

> "Anyone among you the leader of all of us slaves?"
A rather attractive Mexican woman named Emilia introduces herself as the leader of the slaves. She has beautiful eyes and long, flowing hair, and, despite her dirty clothing, she radiates a kind of sultry beauty.
"You're not an eunuch, aren't you?"
She tells you that if you take her away from this shithole, she'll be your faithful wife for the rest of your life. The other girls protest, because they want to be taken away by you too.
>"Holy hell, you're all from earth too, aren't you?"
One of the men answers.
"Yes, we all are. When He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named spoke of an Isekai, I pictured myself having fun in an anime world, perhaps getting a harem of my own. I never expected for one second that I'd turn into... the harem eunuch. So far, you're the only one who's still whole."
Another person speaks.
"I'm Steve, formerly a physics student, and now a eunuch. At first, we thought that all Isekai victims were sent here. But as we got to know each other, we noticed a pattern, an unlikely coincidence. It is that all the males, with no exception, have voted for Hilary."
"Further, we realized that all of the males are particularly beta, and half of them identify as traps. I concluded that this oasis is an attractor for people who had a slave mentality in life, and He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named gave them an afterlife that matches this mentality. This is similar to the concept of heaven and hell. As for the girls, they were all /soc/ posters, but out of respect for our leader, I won't share my theories."

You discover that each element gives a different boost, and with practice, you can make it last for about an hour.

*Earth: Your skin takes an earthy appearance and becomes harder, however this hinders your flexibility.
*Water: You become more flexible, and your dancing skills improve considerably. The water boost took you many hours to figure out and was discovered by chance when Toad made you dance to train your flexibility.
*Fire: When you connect to the fire element, you suddenly become more passionate and violent, as if a spicy fire was running in your veins. You are not quite sure if it boosts any of your physical abilities.
*Wind: Your body becomes very light and you can jump impossible distances. The side effect is that it gives you a strong headache and, if pushed, makes your nose bleed.
*Void: as you haven’t identified the nature of the Void element, you have no idea what the Void boost is.

The danger is not yet obvious

Time flew by real fast because you were always busy… But yes, it’s been one month and four days since you’re in the swamp.
The neighbors and family of Toad-Head and Bez bid their goodbyes. Some tears are shed, but everyone is hopeful that they’ll find success in their adventure, and that they will bring back many treasures to better their living conditions.
Armed with spear weapons, carrying a package of insect cookies, you begin your journey toward the dreadful Cthulian Valley. There’s no road, you have to find your own path in the swamp. There are no enemies to be seen, no orcs, nothing that could stop you, because no one is brave enough to approach Exoran. Your companions are wary because they don’t know where’s the limit between swamp and Exoran. You walk for the entire day, and encounter no danger, nor find where this limit is. The trees are perhaps a bit more twisted, the atmosphere a bit heavier. In the evening, Toad-Head suggests that you all set a camp. The toads are superstitious and think travelling at night is not a good idea.

I didn't expect someone to start screaming the second I mentioned Kek, holy hell these guys have had it rough.

I admired Emilia's long hair, and could feel my face heat up a bit as she offered to be my wife. Thankfully I still had the sense to keep my head. I wasn't about to fall for the first woman I met in another world, even if I never got to go on a date in my past life. It helped that the past few years I've had a 2d > 3d mentality.

Hearing Steve's explanation put a frown on my face "I didn't vote for Hillary or Trump though. I still voted on everything else, but it felt like Hillary was using Trump to force people to elect her even though she clearly didn't care about anything beyond being president, and... wait, that's not important." I stopped myself before I began rambling about my political views.

"A slave mentality in life, huh?" I thought to myself. I wouldn't have ever given myself such a title, but I was definitely someone who preferred to support others than be the leader. Saying I had a slave mentality rubbed me the wrong way, but as I stood there in shackles I had chosen to wear, I couldn't completely argue the point.

"Well, that ends now then. We all have some type of profession or power don't we? If we work together we should be able to rule this oasis. Then we can see about getting somewhere safe, and if there's any healing magic that can reverse what's been done to all of the guys." I said, trying to keep my voice loud enough to be heard while quiet enough to avoid Luqman hearing.

"First things first. Anyone have a skill that'd be useful for getting me out of these bonds?" I asked the group, while simultaneously trying to check my own power. Maybe pride would be helpful for this one? I tried to check what each sin could do, just in case I didn't need to be feeling anything particularly strong to know of it. My wrath had cooled into ice successfully. I was going to get out of here, and so was everyone else. Whether Luqman ran away or I slaughtered him and everyone working with him, it was going to happen. It felt like fact more than any desire, even as the exact details of the plan were still vague at best.

Tsathoggua’s voice sounds like the scream of a hundred tortured souls speaking at once. Insects with a hundred legs are running on your body and enter your mouth and nose. You understand that you are to be sacrificed for inquiring about the secrets of Void, which is forbidden to morals.
You wake up screaming, covered with sweat. You’re just in the swamp, there’s no danger around.

He puts his paws on his temples again, to gain telepathic knowledge about you.
“Uh-oh, you are agnostic. You better make a careful choice.”
From the flow of dark energy, you also feel that Kek has changed something about your physiology and trained your muscle memory to combat.

“As a special bonus gift granted to anons of Vietnamese descent, you may also choose a CHEAT from the following list:

2) Reincarnated as a Monster

The chaos god then draw a sigil in the air and a black portal opens in the middle of the room. "Enter the black gate and your new life will begin." He then throws a little green ball on the floor.

"Okay then, so I'm on my own." I said with a shrug. Despite the situation, I wasn't worried. It'd be difficult to do this all on my own, but I had already decided I'd kill Luqman and his associates, and as long as I continued to exist in one form or another, that's what I'd do.

I needed more than just wrath, I needed pride, but who to select to be the embodiment of that power? I mean I couldn't summon Bernie Sanders for it, he might try to negotiate peace, and I was in no mood for that. So who represents Pride the most out of everyone I know, real and fictional?

Wait, wait wait wait, what am I doing? I don't need to rely on some vague spirit entity for my own powers. I AM pride! I'm the Dark Knight of Vice. The seven deadly sins are mine to command and shape to my will!

I began heating up my wrath back into a roaring flame as I imagined combining it with my pride. I am William, and I will not be a slave to anyone. I will not suffer those who engage in cruelty to live, and with the passion and fury and righteousness of my existence I will destroy these bonds, and destroy those who dared declare themselves bandits.

At first I had just been thinking of prideful things to think, but by the end I could feel the emotions running through me. It felt like my body was on fire, burning the impurities of my shackles away from me, and I attempted to break out of them as I kept stoking the flames of my righteous anger.

Wait... Kek specifically said that a demon must grant you dark powers, so it wouldn't make sense that you could grant yourself dark powers...
It turns out that there's a logical loophole. By channeling the power of wrath granted by Bernie Sanders, you became a demonic creature, and thus you can grant yourself the power of pride.
You can feel Bernie Sanders' wrath inside of you. Not only did you deny the human rights of a person of color on the pretext that they declared themselves a bandit. But now, you're rejecting his second core ideology, that of nonviolence. Such betrayal makes him scream. You hear the sound inside of yourself, and it's only matched by your own wrath. The stability of your emotions is deeply threatened.
You are WILLIAM. You are PRIDE. You provide your own pride. Despite all of that, the shackles remain.

Kek casts a new spell on you.
"This is the energy of primordial darkness, kkw. It's going to mutate you into a new form of life. Not sure if you'll survive this, we'll see."
Your bones and tendons mutate and shrink and slowly give you the form of a small, demonic creature. The process is intensely painful, a pain that no other human being has ever felt. You feel like your flesh is melting down and your heart is beating fast. Your soul feels shocked, broken in a thousand pieces, and your consciousness leaves your body for a second. Thanks to your high willpower, you manage to hold on. You're someone who's already handled death, you can handle this. You feel dizzy. You look at your hands: dark claws, corrupted by the powers of shadows. You're no longer a man, you're an imp. A monster. A being born from the mixture of man and the magical darkness that permeates the world.
Before you stands a portal, and between you and the portal, a toadman, who doesn't seem so small anymore. That might be troublesome...

Really Bernie? You feel betrayed? These people CASTRATED AND ENSLAVED OTHERS! What does color have to do with any of it? The point is they have terrorized and traumatized others for their own profit, and it stops now.

Hoping that argument would let me regain more control of myself, I realize these shackles still bind me. I begin looking for anything like a sharp rock that I could use to cut the ropes.

But damn it I want to wield even greater power. I don't want to just defeat these bandits, I want to DESTROY them. I begin checking the other sins to see if I can tap into any of them to aid me.

But how does one even channel something like lust or sloth? Could I use gluttony to maybe eat the bindings? I remember a book where someone had a curse that turned anything their lips touched into chocolate. Problem is, who does one summon for Gluttony? Images of shonen protagonists come to mind, with how much they'd eat, but I need a power to turn non food INTO food.

Could I summon Buu (the good guy one) and use his power on the bindings? Gosh dang it I wish I knew more about how these damn powers worked!

Bernie's screams inside of your head don't stop. As wrath incarnate, he doesn't respond to your arguments. This is not about logic, this is about raw emotion and oozing vice.
Powered by the activation of your Glutton weakness, you summon the powers of Majin Buu.
Your own voice insults you and feels contempt about your change of vice.
"Really, William? This is such an inferior vice," you hear your own voice say. Bernie's screams keep going; it's a true cacophony inside of your head.
"I'm Buu, those cuffs are chocolate," your voice says at the same time.
"No, I am William, I am PRIDE," you answer.
Your skin takes a bright pink color. You crazily gnaw on your bindings, as if it was chocolate... But the rope is too strong, and you do not manage to destroy it. You're on the edge of losing your sanity.

You wake up Ari and she reluctantly agrees to ride under the rain. You show your temporary ID cards to the guard and, after you pass the border, you throw them in a pool of mud because you have much better cards in your pocket.
The change after you pass the border is much noticeable. The path is well kept, harmonious, there's no trash to be seen everywhere. While lacking the developed technology of our world, the Elven Nation is much more sophisticated. They are a civilization based on respect of others and nature and powered by magic. The elves on the path do not speak to you, nor do they make eye contact with you. Bothering strangers is a big no in elven society. With the road magically protected by a barrier against rain, you can't help but wonder why Ari insisted on staying at the inn. She should have known this, since she's been to the Elven Nation before.
After riding for two days, you reach the city of Uranluna. Ari explains that the city serves as prison for an ancient evil, but she knows no more about the history. All of the houses of the city are up in the trees, covered in vine, with the exception of a large temple in the center. The buildings are well-kept, with high ceilings and balconies, as well as open stairways and corridors. With your fake IDs, you are granted entry.

A miracle from Gaia who calms down the toadman

You try to manifest a shadow sword, but you are a mere imp and do not possess such power over the shadows. And Gaia, goddess of nature, it's even less likely that she would grant you such sword.
Yet, this simple thought about the goddess summons a naiad to Kek's temple. She wears a crown of flowers and magical crystal, and her hair shines with a green color. She smiles at you, but her gaze is distant, and your heart is filled with a sense of foreboding that makes you remain silent. She touches the toadman's forehead with her palm and tell him to calm down and go back to Kek's throne. The toadman complies and she vanishes.

Toad feels terror when you share your dream with him. He thinks about it deeply and conclude that this is an omen. The food in the valley is probably tainted, and you should not eat anything that you find inside. Stick to your own insect cookies.
You renew your journey. The swamp turns into a forest of half-dead, sick trees, and the water on the floor turns into liquid tar. It does not seem to burn or hurt so you continue walking. The ground is mostly dry but in some areas, you can't avoid walking through the tar. A fog hides the sky and you cant see very far. Sometimes, you hear faint screaming, but no creature is visible. Around noon, your eat lunch in silence. Bez asks her husband who you are. Toad-Head answers:
"I have no idea who's this human... Human... What are you doing here with us?"

As the three voices inside of my head argue, and I begin chewing on ropes that may or may not be chocolate, I realize I've been going too far with this. "Okay, that's enough. Everybody out." I say into my mind, imagining a fourth me, the real me, appearing in the mental landscape and clapping his hands twice as a door appears, opens, and begins flying at the other three.

"Clearly trying to channel three sins was a bad idea. In fact, being a dark knight of vice is stupid, but until I can change class I'll have to stick with it. You're all hearby dismissed until further notice, because like hell am I gonna let these stupid vice powers cause me to go insane." The fact my skin was pink was another issue, but one I figure would either go away when buu did, or that I'd address later. For now, I just wanted to stop the stupidity before I suffered any permanent damage.

My eye's slowly widened, are they joking? Is this another dream, or is this another trick of this horrible forest? "My...apologies good toad folk, my name is Dante, and I am a traveler. I had been thrown into this area by the whims of the God Kek. When I saw you two traversing this forest, I thought to strike up a conversation, and see if you would agree to travel as a group? I've heard stories of the dangers this land holds. Please forgive me for assuming I could eat near you." I hate having to put up this act, I know Toad is a good person, but I have to be ready for things to go badly. I ready the energy needed to cast my earth boost if he attacks me.

"We don't want any trouble. We'll give you a cookie if you want. Please leave. "
But as your manners are non-threatening, they eventually agree to travel with you, although they remain wary of you.
You keep walking in this "forest" for the entire afternoon. The landscape remains the same, but the screaming and strange noises are gone. All you can hear is the sound of wind and bubbles in the liquid. There is no life. It's dark. Your body and mind are completely empty, you feel a bit drained.

The house of the tax collector

The wolf girl accepts this mission, and she leaves. (You decide where you'll meet later.)
Due to your affinity with shadows, you notice that there's something wrong with one of the houses. It doesn't look much different from the other houses, but you can feel that there's something wrong with the person who lives inside.
Another house that catches your interest is the house of a recluse elven wizard. It's a normal-sized tree house with an adjacent laboratory. If you're looking for magic, that's probably it. That is, if you can also handle the probable magic traps.
The last interesting place is not one that displays magic, but wealth. It's easy to gather from how much people hate him that this is the house of the tax collector. The rumor is that he puts some of the tax money in his pocket but nothing happens to him because he's protected by higher-ups.

"Not sure either, I need to experiment more with this." I replied to Steve.

"Nah, they're fine." I responded to Luqman with a shrug, waving back to the girl who waved to me before following Luqman. My plan was to enjoy a meal, and keep an eye out for any chance to either stealthily sneak a sharp object back to camp to cut my bindings, or a way to kill Luqman and take his sword if we had any time alone. I also kept an eye out to see how many fellow bandits Luqman had with him.

I assume my sanity is back to normal and I can summon new demons for any of the sins at any time? Probably gonna choose a more violent approving guy for wrath. Also, are the slaves in a large fenced in area or?
