Basic Essentials for the Isekai Adventurer
You've gone on many Isekai Adventures, and gained the power to travel the multiverse over the years, through the use of various perks (many made by myself). Along with the ability to travel the multiverse, you've also been gifted various wondrous and powerful abilities to not only help you survive, but conquer the worlds you visit. But I ask you this: what use are these abilities, if you don't have any toilet paper to wipe yourself? What use is the power to negate magical attacks (for example), if you don't have any money to afford a place to sleep for the night?
For these reasons, I present to you the Isekai Basic Essentials! These perks may not make you all-powerful, or even average powerful, but they are game-changers nonetheless. They were made not only to help with your survival and adapting to new worlds, but also bring a measure of modern day comforts that we take for granted, and without which we would suffer greatly.
For the purpose of this particular 6perk, assume you also get the power of Isekai Adventures (get sent to a world, must survive for a year or help defeat one of the main villains/heroes). Now, Choose 3 Basic Essential Isekai Perks:
-
Starting Powerset (Free): in my Isekai Adventure series, this is included for free, and it'll be the same in this case as well. A wide assortment of powers, including Language Translation (speak, read & understand languages of worlds you visit), Omni-Energy Aptitude (potential to learn magic/energy systems of worlds you visit, prevents clashing and incompatibilities of different energies), Age Adjustment (adjust your age when going to a new world, can shift between original age and various age adjustments you have and will make), Matching Appearance (gain new form to match locals in non-human worlds, as well as new look in animated worlds, will be able to switch between original form and gained forms at will) and Identification (receive some basic identification forms, in order to blend in or fool authorities). Also receive Physical Tune-Up (gain peak physical body and prowess), Health Tune-Up (cures preexisting health disabilities and Illnesses you wish), Calm Mind (helps you remain calm in stressful situations, be better able to adapt to your new environments), No Judgment (won't be condemned by higher powers, or at least shown leniency, for crimes/actions committed in other universes) and Free Remodel (can remodel your body each time you visit a new world, within the limits of that world; can switch between remodels at will). Finally, Reality Filter (adjusts to each reality, especially this one, so that any new powers, items, or companions don't look too out of place) will also be included.
-
Washroom: teleport to a decent sized subspace washroom (can bring others with you), complete with a decent sized bath & shower, toilet, and sink. Comes with various amenities like soap, toilet paper, toothbrush and toothpaste, etc... Supplies will restock after 24 hours, can bring amenities out of washroom. Time will freeze while in washroom (won't age), however this will also mean the timer to survive for a year will also freeze. If entering washroom to avoid attack/explosion, will exit at a minimum safe distance away from attack. Note, can't enter washroom whenever you want to abuse the stop time (i.e to evade attacks whenever you want), you must have to use the washroom in some capacity (of course, this could include things as simple as washing your hands).
-
Food/Water: conjure up a magic food bar and cup of clean drinking water, up to 3 times a day. Food bar won't be the best thing you've eaten, but won't be the worst, and you won't gag or find the taste unappealing. The food bars will contain the minimum daily amount of calories and nutrients needed to survive healthily, as well as satiate hunger. If in a party, can conjure extra water and food bars for companions. Once a day, can also conjure an energy bar and drink; consuming both will completely restore your stamina and alertness (can conjure extra for party members).
-
Safe Sleep: can conjure a magic tent to sleep in, which is bigger on the inside than out. Comes with comfortable sleeping bag & pillow, optional night light, and a guarantee for good night's rest. Tent will auto-clean, adjust to comfortable temperature, prevent pests from entering, block outside noises, and adjust in size to accommodate multiple people (will conjure extra sleeping bags and such). The tent will generate a safety field around it while you're inside, both to protect from damage and attacks, and an awareness filter to prevent detection. Can stay inside tent for maximum of 9 hours (recharge time is half the time you spent in tent); if surrounded by enemies, tent will warn you before you leave, and can teleport you outside of encirclement.
-
Clean Clothes: any clothes your wearing, and in your possession, will auto-clean and repair every 24 hours. Clothes you buy in worlds you visit that are of lower quality than what your used to will adjust to match that of your own clothes. If Isekaied to a world where the environment is extreme (ex. a winter/artic setting), clothing will either be transformed to match the climate, or you will gain appropriate clothing instead (your choice).
-
Pocket Change: you will receive a certain amount of currency each day, which will be stored in special subspace and/or special credit/debit card (will vary depending on which world your on). The money you receive by this will always adjust/transform into local currency, and be completely legal and tax free. The daily currency won't be a lot, but will always be enough to buy yourself a good meal, and to secure lodgings in a decent inn/hotel/motel. Money will stack if not used, but how much you receive will vary from world to world.
-
Status Screen & Inventory: a 2-for-1 staple in Isekai stories, summon up to 2 pop-up screen whenever you wish (only you can see it), each with it's own function. The Status Screen will show you your current status and stats, along with any learned skills and abilities you've gained; this information will be 100% accurate. The Inventory Screen will allow you to store items, possessions, and other objects in a special sub-space, as well as retrieve them at any time; the maximum weight limit of the inventory is 1000 pounds. Note, should you learn/obtain any other similar skills like these 2, you'll be able to combine them together (strengthening them, remove flaws), or keep them separate.
-
Mind & Soul Protection: gain resistance to mind and soul based attacks, resistance to attempts to read your mind and soul (ex. protection against mind reading against your will), as well as warn you of these attacks/attempts of infiltration against you. The strength of your will and focus will help reinforce these protections, while these protections will help reinforce any similar skills or abilities you might gain as well.
-
Health Coverage: receive immunities and resistance to illnesses, equal to, or better, than the inhabitants of worlds that you visit (useful when encountering new and exotic diseases), along with recovering from injuries (as well as illnesses/poisons) at a faster rate than normal. Helps strengthen similar skills and abilities to this one that you might gain over your adventures. As a passive, gain protection from tooth decay and other similar things as well.
-
Survival Instinct: gain instinctive, intuitive knowledge on how to survive. From surviving in the wilderness, or in a futuristic cyberpunk city, you'll have the intuitive know how to stay alive. Be able to tell which plants are dangerous to eat, to somehow being able to start a fire without modern tools. You'll also gain strong feelings (almost a danger sense) on dangerous individuals and situations. This will also come with instinctive battle and fighting abilities as well; you won't gain the skills of a martial arts master, but it will help you stay alive better at least. You'll be able to learn proper fighting and survival skills much quicker and easier as well.
-
Starter Kit: once you isekai/travel to a new world, you'll gain a basic set of equipment and items suited to that world (like an explorer's kit in DND). For example, for a medieval fantasy world you might receive a day's worth of food and a basic weapon (like a sword or spear). In cases for worlds where certain items are important, but might be hard to obtain right away, you might receive one of those items right off the bat (ex. for Pokémon worlds, you would receive a single pokeball); these items might be adjusted in some way to better help you in your adventure (or make it a little more enjoyable), under certain circumstances (this part is essentially for only one world and item in particular that I have in mind, where I think personally I would enjoy better if the item was slightly adjusted).
-
Meta Guide: summon a pop-up screen (that only you can see), that can provide you with useful information during your adventures. You can adjust and customize the guide before each adventure, allowing you to set the level of how much information it will provide, and how it will do so. Can choose to limit it to basic information, or to hand out detailed in-depth lore on even minor characters. The Guide can also assist you with hints, clues, and steps to how to get out of certain situations (like in some video games, where they provide hints to players). This power will also allow you to choose how much meta information yourself you would like to keep when going on an adventure, even to the point where you don't even remember how you arrived on a world, for example (the guide could still give clues if you preset it as such). Note, for brand new worlds that our reality has no information on, the Guide will be restricted to only basic information.
Special Bonus: while I think I got a pretty good range of perks that covers basic essentials, there's a very good chance that I missed something important. So, for anyone that gives a suggestion(just one) for a Basic Essential, you'll get to choose an extra perk. The suggestion can't be for some god-level cheat skill, it has to be within range and reason of the other basic essentials.
So, which Basic Essentials did you choose, and how useful do you think they'll be on your adventures?
Special Note: while for this 6perk you'll be restricted to choosing only a few basic essentials, for any future 6perk I make that includes Isekai adventures/travel you'll be able to choose/be provided all of them (will probably include them in the 6perk directly, but this is just in case).
