Isekai Survival Guide- The Beginning

For people who are familiar with the genre, there are generally by my estimation three main types of Isekai stories. Death by Truck-kun, transported to another world through hero summoning, or gateway to another world opens creating a new fantasy adventure. These instances are often marked by an intermediary presenting either a prize for your self sacrifice or an extra gift that is carried forward with you to the next world. Sudden ability to raise the undead legions of the gods to vanquish your foes, seems like a rather popular theme at the moment. 

Generally with these different changes either comes with the possibility of gaining prestige and renown in this world and bringing riches beyond belief. Especially if presented with multiple gifts, weapons, strength beyond the regular man, or some speciality that goes with many different aspects of power in general.

The Process

Starting with the formulaic beginning, you have been truck-kunned. Your body in the previous world is gone to you either from disconnect or that it is definitely and fully dead, gone, deceased. So now you have a new body. Welcome to your new world. This body has the youthful look and power of you or whomever you choose to be in the prime of their life. 

Next, you will either be confirming certain religious beliefs or creating new ones as you are often greeted by the being generally known as God, or gods in general. All told you will be the primary person who can answer in all honesty, who was right on the planet earth in terms of fundamental beliefs. 

This deity, will either present themselves and answer any questions you might have or shoo you away as quickly as possible. Do not worry. This might be an overall stressful process because you’re talking to the one and only god or multiple gods responsible for the creation and management of the cosmos. You’ll do fine. If they rush you through the process, don’t take it personally, they’re a very important person, being,… spaghetti monster? It’s okay, is what I’m getting at.

Now, you may be presented with special abilities to take with you in your next life. This is a very important thing as this level of the conversation will generally inform you about the process you’re taking part in. Are you defeating a demon king and their horde of minions or are they just being a nice being giving you the leg up in the bedroom department. We will never know until the time comes, but just overall prepare for the decision quite literally of your lifetime in regard to special abilities.

Next in this process will generally be the release. Now this, again, will give you context clues of the general success potential of your future adventure. There’s about a 50/50 chance that this was started by a human or other humanoid race kingdom to make you their hero, or you just get released into the wild wandering aimlessly and letting the will of the living force direct you to your quest. Take it slow. Get a grasp of your surroundings and understand the baseline mission. 

Now you know where things are going to start. Take your time. Breathe. You got this.

Your Adventure begins

Hurray, hero. You’re on your way. Now make sure. Focus on your training and you will get out of this alive. That in itself becomes an issue. You don’t have any training. You are effectively a glass cannon. Go find some training.

If you’re stuck trying to figure this all out as you’re going along, I will inform my supervisor about the low quality metric we’re hitting in regards to direction of your Isekai system and adventure so that this does not happen again in the future but for the most part this guide should replace any fundamentals not provided to you throughout your journey. Again, take a breath, grab your towel, and keep on keeping on. 

Choices for your Future

For your future, depending on if you’re starting with zero direction, or if you’re having to defeat a demon king, take stock of what the world you’re in has based their technology on. There’s a 99.9% chance that the world you’re being transported to has magic or some other fundamental power that completely has thrown the human race from developing any current and modern technology as scene in this earth today. Congratulations! Because with this, we may have the lottery ticket you’ve always wanted or a giant paperweight to nostalgically remind you of home. 

This guide will provide the fundamental basics and some more advanced topics to help you build and maintain the kingdom of your dreams! Or your money back!
