Our story begins with our hero, and his best friend and/or [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Unlucky Childhood Friend]] living peacefully in their quaint, [[DoomedHometown little town]]. One day, they decide to have a little adventure. Not too far from the town there is a place the village elder has told them they better not get close to. [[YouthIsWastedOnTheDumb Our heroes decide to go there]], maybe looking for some rumored treasure, maybe because NothingExcitingEverHappensHere, maybe just to screw the rules.

Our story begins with our hero, and his best friend and/or [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Unlucky Pseudo-Romantic Childhood Friend]] living peacefully in their quaint, [[DoomedHometown little town]]. One day, they decide to have a little adventure. Not too far from the town there is a place the village elder has told them they better not get close to.

Anyway, the point is [[NiceJobBreakingItHero the hero just screwed up royally]], and now he (and [[ItsUpToYou he alone]]) must solve it. This may be the part where the Call to Adventure is finally made explicit, usually dispensed by the village elder who only now decides to reveal the background of the Call Reception Area. Generally, it happens that TheOnlyOne who can destroy the SealedEvilInACan is the one who freed it, or the fact that he was capable of destroying the seal in the first place indicates he actually was TheChosenOne all along. Or perhaps only he can wield the CosmicKeystone he removed, or he considers saving his Unlucky Childhood Friend [[ItsPersonal personal]].

Added DiffLines:

* ''Literature/TheVazulaChronicles'': The [[UnderwaterCity triple kingdoms]] are protected by a magical barrier that keeps predators out, and merpeople are strictly forbidden from going outside it, with the exception of hunters and guards. Merchildren in the charity home are also told that if they so much as poke their heads above the surface, they'll dry out and die. Merletta has been sneaking past the barrier to explore since she was a kid. She's learned that although the open ocean has its dangers, it's not nearly as bad as she's been told, and that visiting the surface is perfectly safe as long as she keeps most of her tail submerged. On her expeditions, she discovers the long-deserted island kingdom of Vazula, meets the human Heath, and learns that [[FaeriesDontBelieveInHumansEither humans aren't just a myth]].

* In ''[[Literature/InheritanceCycle Eragon]]'', the titular boy goes off hunting in the Spine, a haunted place with a reputation for bad luck, where he finds a dragon egg and brings doom down upon his home.
** [[spoiler: It's later revealed that the egg was sent to him by the free Eldunari, so it's more of a subversion.]]
