Some people receive the [[Call to Adventure]], but others [[Nothing Exciting Ever Happens Here|are left waiting by the phone]].
Line 38 ⟶ 39:
* A darker example happens in ''[[Zombie Loan]]'', where {{spoiler|Reiichirou Chiba}} becomes so jaded with his boring life and how predictable his future will be that he kills himself. At which point he comes back to life as a superpowered zombie and becomes a serial killer. So... he did kind of get his wish.
** He is an ''extremely'' happy character. So, yeah. Cruel, psychotic bastard, but quite happy.
* In ''[[ToA AruCertain Majutsu noMagical Index]]'', the main character Touma bemoaned his lack of ability, with his [[Anti-Magic|power]] not able to fight thugs, help his test scores, or get him a [[Irony|girlfriend]]. That is until Index falls onto his balcony and he is suddenly thrust into a world were his ability is the only thing keeping him alive as he desperately tries to save people.
* Maon from ''[[Tamayura]]'' has this, making her hop from one hobby to the next.
* ''[[Bleach|Kurosaki]]'': [[The Hero|Kurosaki Ichigo]] spent three timeskip years like this, after being utterly sidelined at the end of the Winter War by his decision to use the move Mugetsu and sacrifice all his powers rather than experiment with destroying Aizen into tinier and tinier pieces in more and more virulent ways and risking him getting away. Or at least, that must have been his reasoning, since he had a vast advantage in power at the time.
** He was quite depressed, and worked through it quite well, but his lack of real interest in anything still showed. After being that powerful, you can't really go back.
** Luckily, all his friends in the Gotei 13 got together to restore him, and his dad stabbed him [[It Makes Sense in Context|helpfully]] [[In the Back]] in an utterly literal sense!
