* [[The Unity Saga]] has this happen to [[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Captain Picard]].
* ''[[Shinji and Warhammer40K|Shinji and Warhammer 40 K]]'': If it doesn't follow the ''exact'' path of the [[God-Emperor|God-Emperor of Mankind]], this is almost certainly going to be the conclusion of [[Messianic Archetype|the life]] of [[Elseworld|this universe's]] Shinji Ikari. As well as possibly [[Yandere (disambiguation)|Rei]]; and [[Tsundere|Asuka]].
* In A:TLAR, this is the fate of any Host's soul that is next in the cycle to inherit the power of the Spirit, as explained on the [[A God Am I]] page. Had the Spirit remained to observe its creation, it would've eventually realized that allowing humans to take on the role of God [[Humans Are Bastards|would backfire.]]
* In [[Naruto Veangance Revelaitons]], at the end, Ronan and Sakura use a medallion to enter a dimension where they have sex for all eternity, leaving [[Adam and Eve Plot|repopulating the earth]] to Ekaj and Atni.
Line 83:
** Ditto for Qui-Gon, Yoda and Anakin.
* Commander Decker has a sexy ascension with Ilia in ''[[Star Trek: The Motion Picture|Star Trek the Motion Picture]]''.
** In the novel [[Star Trek: Ex Machina]], after the above incident with Decker, Ilia and V'Ger, the peoples of the galaxy become engaged in intense speculation as to what it means. Some begin considering it a sign or omen, and others declare Earth (the site of the ascension) a holy world. The novel's villain, Dovraku, convinces himself that other computer-gods will be able to follow in V'Ger's footsteps, including the Yonadi Oracle (this is pure nonsense).
* ''[[Powder (film)|Powder]]'', anyone?
* In ''[[The Matrix Reloaded]]'', this apparently happens to Agent Smith after his...experience in the first movie. He then uses his power to copy himself and replace everyone inside the Matrix, including a Zion rebel inside it at the time.
Line 270:
* In third-person action game ''[[Rune]]'', protagonist ends the game by ascending into Valhalla (a proper reward for any Viking hero).
* Four of the six main storylines of ''[[Escape Velocity]] Nova'' involve or touch upon this one way or the other. The ones that involve it most heavily are the Vell-os and Polaris storylines (in the first, you participate in the Vell-os' ascension, scheduled for as soon as they are freed from slavery, despite not technically ''being'' a Vell-os, and in the second, you {{[[[Descend From a Higher Plane of Existence]] re-}}]ascend into becoming a part of the universe itself). Only the Federation and Pirate storylines lacks the Vell-os ascending and an epilogue stating that, in some far-off distant future, humanity as a whole will leave the corporeal behind.
* In the ''[[Command and& Conquer]] Tiberium'' series, this is one of the stated goals of [[Dark Messiah|Kane]]. The details of what ascension is actually supposed to even mean, to begin with, to be revealed in the fourth and final game.
** Well, Kane's intended destination is implied to be a planet, rather than a higher plane, after he was left stranded on Earth. That said, the ending fits the bill regardless, with Kane and the entire Brotherhood disappearing after stepping into the Threshold.
* In the ''[[Arcanum]]'' your PC can achieve a status of deity by the end of the game. Furthermore, you can simply chose what type of deity you want to be in a final dialog with [[Big Bad]]. Although it requires for PC to commit a ''Double [[Face Heel Turn]]'' of a sort.
