The '''Fantastic Tribulation''' is a phenomenon describing a setting which has gone through through a storm of chaos brought about by supernatural forces and beings, such that society is incapable of countering this event through conventional means. This leads to either an [[Urban Fantasy]] or an [[After the End]] scenario turning into a [[Cozy Catastrophe]] - in either case, they involve [[Differently-Powered Individual|people gaining access to magic or some other form of mystical powers]], and learning to use them is crucial to surviving in this new world.
The theme of Fantastic Tribulations is a somewhat recent{{when}} trend in Korean media, including web novels and [[Korean Webtoons|webtoons]] - these particular works are often set in an [[RPG Mechanics Verse]] full of dungeons, both of which may be tied to the civilization-shifting catalyst this trope describes. These and some urban fantasy works may also focus on what new adversities arise in these conditions from not just this new status quo, but [[Who Watches the Watchmen?|the people seen as its protectors]].
Contrast [[The Magic Comes Back]]. See also [[War in Heaven]], which may precipitate this trope.
