'''Recurrencia Eterna''' (''Eternal Recurrence'' in spanish) is a story about a guy named Job who makes a deal with the gods: he will play a game where he has to pass certain "challenges", and in exchange for finishing the game he will get to wish whatever he wants, with no limits. He plans on using his wish for curing his sickly sister, as she seems to be very close to dying. However, completing the game turns out to not be an easy task, since the challenges seem to be taking quite a toll on his mental state.

The series does contain a lot of disturbing imagery, including cannibalism, torture, and sexual assault, so if you are sensible to those things, it would be reccomended for you to not continue. Also of note is the fact that all spoilers are entirely unmarked, so proceed with caution.

* LackOfEmpathyLackOfEmpathy: A trait presented by most of the people Job interacts with, with many of them being borderline sociopaths (and some are actually sociopaths)



* IJustWantToHaveFriends
* StoppedCaring
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter

to:

* IJustWantToHaveFriends
IJustWantToHaveFriends: Happens to him after he moves to a different city, as he can no longer interact normally with most of his friends and is starved for social interaction that is not comprised of his family or done through a screen.

StoppedCaring: By the time the game ends, all that's left of him is an empty shell that barely cares about anything outside of his sister anymore, having been throughly broken by the sadistic challenges he had to go through.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter
HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: His first encounter with the Elixus could be somewhat excused as he did not know what the game was about, but even after having it explained to him [[TooDumbToLive he still trusts random strangers way too much]]. This starts to subside after a few of the challenges have gone by, instead switching to the polar opposite and not trusting anyone.
