** D&D 4 has this as one of its Epic Destinies. Most destinies can cheat death in some way, but perhaps the coolest variant is the Dark Wanderer. At a certain level, he can travel within 24 hours to any location from any other location - explicitly including the afterlife.
* Characters of the [[Old World of Darkness|OWoD]] game ''[[Wraith: The Oblivion]]'' can under certain circumstances claw their way back into the lands of the living as Risen. Even though they just reek of ''[[The Crow]]'', the white face paint is not obligatory.
* Sigmar Heldenhammer in ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]'' fantasy battles did this when he entered the afterlife (which isn't really hell) was attacked by an army of daemons, summoned an army of spirit warriors and got out.
** While never actually entering the realm of chaos Volkmar the grim was tied to a demon banner and carried around by a demonic legion, he breaks lose and slaughters demons with his magical chains.

Line 330:
* In the videogame ''[[La Pucelle|La Pucelle: Tactics]]'', Prier can become a Demon Overlord if she goes too far deep into the Netherworld and kills the present one. She appears as such in the [[Disgaea]] series as a [[Bonus Boss]]. This is apparently based on a legend in Japanese mythology where one will become a youkai (demon) if they "bathe in the blood of 1000 youkai."
** Similarly, in ''[[Makai Kingdom]]'', the backstory of Seedle, the Overlord of the Underworld, is that he was once a Samurai who got lost down there - and ended up taking over the place. Actually, he was killed by a woman he was about to rape, but he still took over. Said woman was burned at the stake for killing a "hero" but she also took over her own Netherworld after her death.
** In ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]'' it's revealed that the "God of Demon Overlords'' got so powerful from killing hundreds of other Demon Overlords that {{spoiler|she started becoming an [[Eldritch Abomination]]. To escape this fate, she gave herself [[Easy Amnesia]] and reincarnated herself.}}
** Happens in ''[[Disgaea 3 Absence of Justice]]'' if {{spoiler|You kill the final boss with just human Almaz alone, he becomes an Overlord, in style much like Prier.}} The Final Boss himself is an {{spoiler|"Evil God" due to being a Hero who killed countless Overlords.}}
** Also occurs in ''[[Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten]]'' if {{spoiler|you lose to Fuka during your battle with her. She decides to take over the Netherworld before she takes over the human world, and enlists the defeated Valvatorez and Fenrich as her servants in the process.}}
