The '''Fantastic Tribulation''' is a setting
An interesting trend has been seen in Korean media like web novels and [[Korean Webtoons|webtoons]]. A common occurrence is having dungeons filled with monsters, but unique individuals can conquer them. [[Differently-Powered Individual|These people with powers]] counter these changes, thus giving way to stability. They are often connected to [[RPG Mechanics Verse|a system that functions like RPGs that can grant them these abilities]] and may be related to the society-changing catalyst. These people bring temporary peace by defeating them, including treasures, equipment, and mystical resources. Magic always plays a part as the cause or another tool for people to use.

== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* In the backstory of ''[[Shadowrun]]'', [[The Magic Comes Back|magic has come back]]. Yeah, a significant fraction of humanity turned into elves, orcs, trolls, and a couple dozen of other races. Sure, practically every mythological beastie from dragons on down popped out of the woodwork. Yeah, there were political upheavals. Did that end the world? Hell, no! That would be [[Mega Corp|bad for business]]! Besides, [[Cyberpunk]] tech made dealing with the Sixth World so much easier.
* The interdimensional invasion by the "High Lords"

Line 102:
* In the episode "The Console" from ''[[The Amazing World of Gumball]]'', a [[Game Boy|Game Child]] temporarily turns the entire town into a [[JRPG]]. Gumball, Darwin, and Anais form a party to turn the city back to normal.
* Most of ''[[Samurai Jack]]'' features a [[Bad Future]] where Aku reigns over the land because his past self sent the title character to the future. It's also a world with sentient robots and ghosts, where independent resistance groups have risen up against Aku. The Scotsman in the final season especially benefits from {{spoiler|returning as a powerful ghost after pulling a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] to save his family from the demon}}. With that said, when the series finale has Aku foolishly announce that {{spoiler|he has captured Jack, who has reclaimed his sword, and plans to publicly execute him}}, all of the allies that Jack made throughout the seasons show up for the final battle. They are perfectly willing to sacrifice their existence if it means Jack has a chance to return to the past and make things right.
* In ''[[Thundarr the Barbarian]]'', the Earth’s climate and geography have been drastically changed due to a meteor passing its orbit. This led to planet wide natural disasters and the collapse of civilization, resulting in chaos worldwide, followed by magic, savagery, and [[Weird Science]] appearing on Earth
