3	Finn is [[{{Everyman}} your average electrical engineer]], until one day he’s sent on a quest...[[YouGetMeCoffee to find a part in a remote warehouse]]. Once there, he discovers a mysterious device that had been left running for years, and then accidentally triggers it. [[TrappedinTVLand Now in a alternate world]], Finn is on a real adventure in a land where magic rules [[WithThisHerring with a van full of his own world’s technology]].

5	Finn is met by the sorceress Nara and her traveling companion, an [[KnightInSourArmor unwilling knight]] named Kuroraki. They are determined to unlock Finn’s secrets and his relation to [[ThereIsAnother another person from his world]] who has been [[EvilOverlord terrorizing the land]].

9	!!Tropes occurring in Deverish Also:
10	%%* TheArchmage: Raezinus.
11	* AsleepForDays: Not stated outright, but strongly implied. Finn was in the other world for three days tops, plus one period of unconsciousness after a mage blasted him, yet he found out the day he woke up that he's been there for a week.
12	%%* BlackMagicianGirl: Raych and Nara. Especially Raych.
13	* BlessedWithSuck: Kuroraki's armor gives him a HealingFactor, allowing him to instantly recover from stab wounds and such...but the reason he ''gets'' stabbed is because people keep trying to mug him and steal his [[ArtifactOfAttraction super-valuable]] {{unobtainium}} armor.
14	* ClingyCostume[=/=]TwentyFourHourArmor: Kuroraki's armor is supposed to repair itself, but the magic went wrong when it was stolen and reforged, and now it ''seals'' itself instead.
15	* CollectorOfTheStrange: Raezinus.
16	* ContemplateOurNavels: Finn tends to do this when the new world gets ''too'' confusing and unpleasant.
17	-->'''Finn''': No. I'm just gonna ''sit'' here...in this chair...in these smelly robes...until [[CelestialDeadline tomorrow]].
18	%%* CoolGate: The portal to the other world.
19	* CoolOldGuy: Raezinus is ReallySevenHundredYearsOld, and he certainly is cool.
20	* DeadlyDodging: Nara deflects an enemy's blasting-spell...right into Finn. Oops.
21	* DeathSeeker: Kuroraki is determined to be free of his cursed armor and frequent self-defense killings, even if the only currently available means of doing so is for Raezinus to kill him. Raezinus thinks he can find a better way eventually, but Kuroraki isn't exactly the patient type.
22	* {{Everyman}}: Finn. He's an ordinary electrical engineer who accidentally activated a CoolGate stored in a company warehouse.
23	* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Really it's a different universe rather than a different time, but there's enough MedievalStasis that it counts.
24	* HappyFunBall: The electric drill.
25	-->'''Raezinus''': ''[clutching his nose]'' Ow ow ow...vicious little thing can turn on you at any moment, can't it?
26	-->'''Nara''': Serves you right for taunting it.
27	* HilaritySues: Finn vanished with a company van and a whole bunch of warehouse inventory, and the warehouse itself was leveled. The Earth police and company staff aren't exactly pleased with him.
28	* {{Kawaiiko}}: Raych.
29	* LampshadeHanging: The portal's appearance.
30	-->''It looked like a prop from a bad B-grade sci-fi movie, complete with cheesy bolts of lightning.''
31	* LizardFolk: Raezinus, but [[BerserkButton don't call him that]]; [[InsistentTerminology he is to be called a]] ''[[HalfHumanHybrid dragonblood]]''.
32	* PowerStrainBlackout: When Raezinus demonstrates the portal spell and it becomes important to keep it open for a while, he eventually passes out from the strain of keeping the spell going for so long.
33	* PsychoPrototype: [[BigBad Rekkoran]] came from the same place as Finn, only instead of being inoffensive like Finn, Rekoran assassinated the royal family and set himself up as an EvilOverlord.
34	* SchmuckBait: "[[AC:Error decoupling charging array...Banks charged to 2.411e+13%. Resume? (Cancel/Yes)]]"
35	-->''Let the following be a reminder: always '''read''' the dialog box before clicking 'yes'.''
36	* SuddenLackOfSignal: When Finn accidentally goes through Rekkoran's portal, it begins to sink in that he's in another world when his cell phone and GPS both get no signal. Later on, when a friendly mage demonstrates a portal spell, he knows it's the same thing because he ''gets'' a cell phone signal through it.
37	* ThisIsMyBoomstick: An odd hybrid version: Rekkoran equips his mages with technological amplifiers.
38	* TooMuchInformation: Finn's reaction when he was told that healing him involved a transfusion of [[LizardFolk Raezinus']] blood.
39	** And when he found out that when he was AsleepForDays, Raezinus loaned him his bed ''but didn't stop sleeping in it''.
40	* TranslatorMicrobes: The dialect-indoctrination spell. Unusually, it's not perfect: you can only understand one language at a time, you can only learn a new language by having a mage who speaks that language cast it on you, and if the mage blunders it can leave you unable to use your original languages unless a more powerful mage finishes the job.
41	* WingedHumanoid: Kuroraki, although that may be an artifact of his armor.
42	* WorthlessYellowRocks: People in the other world refer to aluminum as "litesilver", and value it as {{Unobtainium}}. We use it for soda cans.
43	** This is actually the foundation of Rekkoran's wealth: he would buy loads of aluminum at Earth prices, them bring it through the portal and sell it in the other world for mountains of gold.
44	*** Truth in television: Aluminum was once more valuable than gold, as before the current [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall–Héroult_process Hall–Héroult]] electric smelters were invented, refining it required insanely expensive equipment and reagents.
45	** Also, Raezinus pays for stuff with dragon scales, presumably his own.
