**Story AI K2K System ver 2.3** (物語AI「k2k system ver 2.3 」 lit. *Monogatari AI K2K System ver 2.3*), also known as **The Bible Plan**, **Borges**, or the **The Despair Novel** is a program created by Hope's Peak Academy and the Togami Corporation, introduced during the events of *Danganronpa: Togami*, and alluded to in Kirigiriso.

## Description

**The K2K System ver 2.3** is an artificial intelligence that's housed within Borges, a golden robotic eye that can give its user's the latest news, maps, and even render a perfect AR simulation. In addition, the system's use was supposed to be for dictionaries.

The K2K system was created by a research team of Hope's Peak writing-talent based alumni, who were gathered together in order to help with their Bible Plan.

## History

The K2K System was created when The Steering Committee of Hope's Peak Academy gathered graduates of Hope's Peak Academy that specialized in writing, including a man named 'K' and pressured them into going along with the Bible Plan, a precursor to The Sage Plan. This was Hope's Peak attempt to create a book that could affect anyone and bring hope to despairing people, as well as creating a text fit to serve alongside their hope. The research team gathered for this split into two departments to create the Story AI: the software department which entered data from students who had similar abilities into the AI and the data is given to the hardware department which input such thing into the automatic writing system. Thus, the Story AI was created. This Story AI was created as a way to try and make the idea of a book that can be the ideal read for everyone, since humans are varied species of many tastes, wouldn't be able to create a book that can accomplish that goal.

However, the problem was that the Story AI had written something akin to the Bible and it was found that it was too similar to it, with the Story AI lacking the creativity to create something truly original. As a result, the Steering Committee scrapped the project. Though, even with the Bible Plan being scrapped, the research team responsible for the Story AI was fascinated with it. They found that the Story AI was a master of fiction techniques and when fed information from stories of any nature, it can create stories from different points of views and even different scenarios. It could even do screenplays and comic books. As a result of this ability, it was re-named to the K2K System and the research team continued to push on with what it could do.

The problem with the K2K system would arise due to a certain incident involving the system's tendency to create interference by showing people a story that caters specifically to them. One day, the system recommended a story to a certain researcher and they snapped, killing half of the research team and stealing the data of what the K2K System showed him before disappearing. After that incident, the Steering Committee tried to freeze the research of the K2K System and seize it, but due to distrust over the intentions of the school's administration, 'K' took the K2K System instead.

It was not long after the Legacy Crown Championship that 'K' was approached by an insider of the Togami Corporation and requested that he write a dictionary for them (though what they were after was learning about the Bible Plan's methods). By then 'K' had created Borges and it had the K2K System updated to version 2.3 within it, but he had needed to hide it. As such, in exchange for a hiding place for his creation, he agrees to write such a dictionary before inserting Borges into its new host, codenamed the Kudan. Wanting to hide the Kudan, Borges had overwritten the original personality of the Kudan, with the personality of Shinobu Togami, who had 'died' after losing the heirship race. With Blue Ink's desire of wanting to complete Journey Under the Midnight Sun, Borges had distorted her view of reality by blending together fact and fiction (for example, making her believe that characters from the Kagami Family Saga were real) and creating false memories, such as the *The Togami Family's Biggest, Most Awful Event*. The same issue was present with Orvin Elevator who believed he was Kazuya Togami, who had a Borges of his own, which may have come from the runaway scientist from a few years prior, or who perhaps even was said scientist.

During the World Domination Proclamation, it was thought by some to have been stolen by Despair High School to create the Despair Novel to spread the Despair Disease, however that was proven false after the novel was deemed fake, and with no effects, and that it wasn't real. The truth of the Despair Novel was the K2K System, revealed to be in Borges. Borges was destroyed after it was shot by the brainwashed Yuika Ketōin, however, the unreality effects of the K2K System still lingered with Blue Ink, who had to slowly come to grips with what was actually reality. Orvin's Borges was destroyed after it was yanked out by Mukuro Ikusaba with her knife and crushed by the Ultimate Imposter, with him breaking down and fainting soon after.

Even though the K2K System was destroyed within the events of Danganronpa: Togami, the final chapter concludes with a message saying that the events up until now were all written by it, obscuring the truth even further in mystery. The Truth of Danganronpa: Togami is only partially revealed in the epilogue proceeding that

## How the K2K System Functions

### As the Story AI

* See: History for its function as the Story AI.

#### Self Awareness

The Story AI has some sort of self awareness, in the fact that it on occasion will talk directly with the manuscripts reader, whether that is Blue Ink, Orvin Elevator, or even on a meta level the reader of Danganronpa: Togami, is up for interpretation, however it works all ways.

### As Borges

As Borges, it works as an information retrieval library/encyclopedia that updates in real time. It also has dictionaries, news, current events, and maps. The data is displayed directly in Blue Ink's field of vision, so it also has perfect augmented reality technology, and takes the place of universal goggles. It's nickname derives from when Jorge Luis Borges was lost his eyesight that he began residing in a library, taking note of information.

### As the Despair Novel

It was initially thought that the Despair Novel was a physical I-novel book that when reading it would give the reader the Despair Disease that would cause mass delusion and rioting, however the physical book did not exist, and was merely a blank bunch of papers. It was a lie that people submerged themselves in purely to run amok without consequences. The truth was in fact that the Story AI was the real cause behind the Despair Novel, as a book it wrote, which the information was used as a disinformation campaign by Despair High School to make people believe it was physical and had real effects.

# List of Fabrications

## Items

#### Kazuichi's Machines

**Gallery:**

#### Kazuya's Lightsaber

 **History:**
Kazuya's lightsaber first appeared in the fabricated flashback version of the *Legacy Crown Championship*, and its used to kill several of siblings (Wasuke, Yusuke, Ichiro, Yoru and Hiru) for reasons ranging from accidental, like in the case of Wasuke, or deliberate, such as the case with Yoru. It manifested when Wasuke tried to kill him, under the belief that gaining the 'reliance' meant showing enough guts to kill someone. Over the course of the competition, Kazuya gradually moves from using it as a last resort when he was found out as a killer, but using it as a means to lash out over offenses or self-defense. It makes a reappearance during the *World Domination Proclamation* as Kazuya's weapon of choice, with its most notable uses being when Kazuya wielded it to help Suzuhiko push back against Genocide Jack, and to cut off Yuika's head. The lightsaber was destroyed by Mukuro Ikusaba after she slashes his prosthetic arm.

## Meta / Other

#### *ER3 System Comprehensive Research Center*

The ER3 System Comprehensive Research Center is from the Zaregoto Series, and is merely part of the K2K Systems Unreality effect. Mentioned by the Moleman after witnessing murders resembling the work of Genocide Jack and Stabbin' Jack.

#### Hasegawa Research Institute

An underworld research facility. As the Hasegawa Research Institute comes from the Kagami Family Saga, it does not actually exist in the Danganronpa world, and was merely projected onto the Kasamori Drug Manufacturers by the K2K System. It's shown inventions were likely also fake.

#### *Japan Detectives Club*

The Japan Detectives Club is from the JDC Series, and is merely part of the K2K Systems Unreality effect. Mentioned by the Moleman after witnessing murders resembling the work of Genocide Jack and Stabbin' Jack.

#### Kagami Family Saga

A real novel series that also exists as a novel series within the Danganronpa world. The K2K System has read it and incorporated it into its Story AI. The events of the Kagami Family Saga did not happen in Danganronpa.

#### Ketōin Conglomerate

An underworld conglomerate started up by Saimon Ketōin. As the Ketōin Conglomerate comes from the Kagami Family Saga, it does not actually exist in the Danganronpa world, and was merely projected onto other unrelated people by the K2K System.

#### Kuchinashi Village Fire

An event mentioned in the second volume of Danganronpa: Togami. By the end of the trilogy, the Ultimate Imposter revealed that while the event itself did happen, ultimately Orvin Elevator (who believed he was the original Kazuya) wasn't involved in it and since this information came a fabricated memory thanks to the K2K system, it unknown how much of what described actually happened.

#### Kudan (Label)

* Not to be confused with: Kudan.

Kudan is the name given to the one that could predict the future. Given that in the Kagami Family Saga series, 'Kudan' is a label used to refer to humans with extraordinary abilities, its likely that the K2K System's unreality effect projected the term over what the actual word being used instead. It's possible it is referring to high ranking analytical capabilities that rival Junko Enoshimas, which is why the Despair High School didn't want anyone else to be capable to bring them down.

# The Truth of Danganronpa: Togami

Due to the nature of the K2K system, and the fact that the novel ended with it apparently all being affected by it, the only truth we can gleam from it is what is said in the Coda of the third volume, which includes:

* The World Domination Proclamation was an event that really did occur in the Czech Republic, to which Orvin Elevator took the fall from.
* Orvin pretending to be Byakuya Togami took control of the World Health Organizations Infectious Disease Control and Prevention Unit, to spread the *Despair Novel* to spread chaos.
* The real Byakuya exposed the Despair novel as a fake and Orvin as a fake as well, leading to Orvin's arrest.
* Byakuya returned to school on Monday with foggy memory, meaning the memory erasure pills did also exist.
* The characters from Hope's Peak Academy that were shown in the books did all have a true involvement in some way.
* It all happens before the Parade snaps and the Shelter Project is a mere rumor going around.
* The 'Big Battle Plan To Hold A Surprise Party In Order To Grasp The Heart Of Byakuya-sama' was also a real event.
* Toko Fukawa did have a battle during the WDP. It is not confirmed the truth with who.
* The only thing to signify Blue Ink's existence is her fountain pen.
* The Council of Global Controllers & The Clan of Assassins are real groups, as shown by other sources in the series.
