History Literature / AnOutcastInAnotherWorld

* PyrrhicVictory: The Village is successfully defended from its invasion by the Infected...in the sense that not everyone died. In the process, [[spoiler:several thousand people did in fact die, including many named characters. Additionally, the Locus of Power was destroyed, dooming the area to become a Blighted zone and forcing the survivors to abandon their homes and relocate.]]

* PintSizedPowerhouse: Malika is a small Elf girl who is 13 years old when adjusted to Human years. She’s also a magical wunderkind who learns spells at an alarming rate, was killing monsters before she even got a Class, and when she finally did accept a Class, she [[spoiler:was able to choose the immensely powerul Archmage Class, the only one that’s existed for hundreds of years.]].

* FictionalGenevaConventions: Averted. Rob notes that no analogue to the Geneva Convention exists in Elatra...which is part of the problem.

* StandardFantasyRaces: Elves, Dwarves, Dragonkin, Merfolk, and Harpies live in Elatra. And Humans...well, not anymore.

** Eventually, [[spoiler:Rob gains the ability to cleanse corrupted Loci with Purge Corruption, Subverting th trope]].

* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Happens to [[spoiler:Rob after his second encounter with the Blight, as it literally bites him in half. He (barely) survives, but takes enough [[TheWouldThatWouldNotHeal corruption]] damage to lose about 40% of his maximum health.]]

''[[https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09FZ16ZNT An Outcast in Another World]]'', also known as An Outcast in Another World (Is "Insanity" a Racial Trait?) outside of Kindle, is a WebSerialNovel written by KamikazePotato.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Many of the leaders are leaders due to how strong they are. Up to eleven with the Dragon Queen - many do not like her, but can do nothing about it since she is also [[WorldsStrongestMan literally the strongest person alive]].

* DecapitationStrike: How Rob [[spoiler:kills his first two people]]. He looks away from the second one, but that doesn't help his mental state much.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Many of the leaders are leaders due to how strong they are. UpToEleven with the Dragon Queen - many do not like her, but can do nothing about it since she is also [[WorldsStrongestMan literally the strongest person alive]].

* PrestigeClass: The Awakened classes, which are significantly powerful than normal ones. The Dragon Queen was already a [[OneManArmy One Woman Army]], before her class awakened - afterwards, she literally became WorldsStrongestWarrior. [[spoiler:Book 3 brings two revelations regarding Awakened classes - first, Rob gets the ability to induce Class Awakening at will (though only 8 times a year), second was that not even ''gods'' know where the Awakened classes come from.]]

* {{Bookends}}: The first and last chapters of Book 1 end with Rob's shirt having been destroyed. In a less humorous example, the last chapter of Book 1 and first chapter of Book 2 [[spoiler:exhibit funerals for those lost, complete with personalized eulogies.]]

* Bow and Sword, in Accord: the rangers of the village, but Riardin in particular [[spoiler: during his first encounter with Rob he initially uses his bow before switching to his swords, and he uses his bow - along with soul burn - against the Blight.]]

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Humans who succumb to Leveling High fall into this. Their bloodlust and desire for Levels becomes insatiable, and they lose any semblance of sanity they may have once had. The progression of the effect can be resisted through sheer force of will, but the stronger Leveling High becomes, the harder it gets to ignore its whispers in the back of your mind.

* PowerHigh: Leveling High is an affliction that affects only Humans. When they Level up, their brains are magically drugged to want to Level more, which involves more killing, which creates an awful feedback loop. Eventually, the High becomes so powerful that it overtakes their personality and turns them into crazed murderers.

* RPGMechanicsVerse: Elatra functions under these rules. A world with stats, Levels, Skills, and a system is all its inhabitants have ever known. Rob thinks it’s weird as fuck, and while he’s willing to work within the system to keep himself alive, he doesn’t like how it feels like it’s disconnecting him from his sense of self and who he used to be.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: The Infected have glowing red eyes which brighten when they come across as enemy – which is anything that breathes – or when the Infection spreads further in their bodies. Considering their horribly mutated forms, it’s by far the least-horrifying thing about them.

* PintSizedPowerhouse: Malika is a small Elf girl who is 13 years old when adjusted to Human years. She’s also a magical wunderkind who learns spells at an alarming rate, was killing monsters before she even got a Classs, and when she finally did accept a Class, she [[spoiler:was able to choose the immensely powerul Archmage Class, the only one that’s existed for hundreds of years.]].

* LightIsGood: A more literal example. His trip through the void has traumatized Rob, and complete darkness freaks him out. Mentally speaking, natural life is his friend and ally. Dungeon entrances are also pitch-black to signify how dangerous they are.

* AnAdventurerIsYou: Everyone in Elatra gets stats, Levels, and a selection of Classes to pick. Whether or not they decide to go down the combat route is up to them.

* PsychicPowers: Two variants have been shown so far. Elder Alessia specializes in telekinesis, which allows her to fling people around, fly by moving her own body throw the air, and contort people with enough force to break their limbs at 90-degree angles. A Mind Mage is also shown whose presence is used as a torture threat; if the prisoner refuses to give up information, the Mind Mage will find it anyway, potentially doing permanent brain damage in the process.
