History Fanfic / JustAReincarnationStorySummoningJapanEdition

* EnigmaticEmpoweringEntity: Whatever unknown being who gives Kagaseo the jar used to absorb the Civilization Annihilation Game's players he defeated to be converted into his own power and allow him a fighting chance in his one-god war against the entire Game serves as this.

However, as it turned out, Meteos Roguerider's reincarnation and the future he is so hellbent to avoid is merely a part of a larger disease that plagues the reality.

* GenreShift: Starts out as a fairly relaxed UrbanFantasy story that focuses on the lives of native inhabitants of the world of the ''Japan Summons'' before turning out to be a CosmicHorrorStory all along as [[spoiler: the summoning event is merely a tiny fraction of a contrived multiverse-encompassing extermination program by none other than the harbinger of the Apocalypse itself.]]

* CallARabbitASmeerp: The people of the Holy Milishial Empire call their magical cellphones (that's already look like1 smartphones despite lacking in functionality) "grimoires".

** [[spoiler: The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Whereas the first three are merely doing their jobs, which is anti-mortal life in nature, Pestilence takes the spotlight for being the one who is actually evil and actively enforces the demise of many civilizations through his reality show.]]

Different from the usual ''Japan Summons'' fanfiction format of 'Country/Faction X summoned to another world', this Main/LighterAndSofter fanfiction is a drama piece that places a primary focus on a single character and the interactions he made with other denizens of his world in this second life.

* TheDreaded: For the Third and Outside Civilization Areas surrounding the Philades continent, it's the Parpaldia Empire, the "Dragon of Philades".

[[spoiler: However, as it turned out, Meteos Roguerider's reincarnation and the future he is so hellbent to avoid is merely a part of a larger disease that plagues the reality.]]

!!These are the tropes contained in this jar (unmarked spoilers for the first 39 chapters):
* AdaptationNameChange: [[spoiler: Due to the alterations in history surrounding the Parpaldia Empire, the woman known as Remille ends up being born in this timeline as Kyrie.]]
* AdaptationalVillainy: [[spoiler: Shamash, also known as Amaterasu. Similarly, the act of summoning itself is unambiguously referred to as a wicked act.]]

** [[spoiler: In the P[R]OL[OGUE] arc, it's "Dreams, happiness, and an ideal world" and "Rebel against fate".]]
** "Welcome to my world".

* CallARabbitASmeerp: The people of the Holy Milishial Empire call their magical cellphones (that's already look like smartphones despite lacking in functionality) "grimoires".
* CosmicHorrorStory: [[spoiler: The anomalous events that result in the appearance of a country from another world that can potentially bring suffering to the original inhabitants is a form of entertainment for the higher beings who callously cheer at their misery.]]
* {{Crossover}}: Aside from the occasional references to ''Kamen Rider'', [[spoiler: the P[R]OL[OGUE] arc is a crossover to ''Series/KamenRiderGeats'' with the appearance of Main/TransformationTrinkets Desire Driver and Vision Driver, which are used by Meteos and Kagaseo respectively to transform into Rider forms during the fight between Meteos' first death and his rebirth (Rogue for Meteos and Glare-X for Kagaseo). Further cemented by the Scheme and Genesis arcs with the presence of Desire Driver technology and a connection of the Civilization Annihilation Game with the future Earth where the Desire Grand Prix in ''Geats'' originated from.]]
* DeadlyGame: The [[spoiler: Civilization Annihilation Game]] is a reality show that punishes both its players and audience with death regardless of victory or defeat, because the whole thing [[spoiler: is a setup by the First Horseman of the Apocalypse to punish those who use their free will to choose to take pleasure in genocide.]]
* {{Deconstruction}}: [[spoiler: Of the ''Japan Summons''' premise, summoning a country to another world. Countries summoned to another world are in effect used as fertilizers to farm cosmic drugs since their existence alone is a disruption that generates misery. In addition, for all the hardships and struggles that a summoned country will face in the new world and if they can even recover and stabilize, all of it will be meaningless since the ones that summoned them, the Civilization Annihilation Game, will make sure that they will die in the end as the part of the final round of their show. There is nothing glorious about it. At all.]]
* DespairEventHorizon: Defied. [[spoiler: Pre-reincarnation Meteos desires his dreams, happiness, and ideal world so hard that not even getting his ass kicked by a god left, right, and center could make him give those up. He will seize those, even if all his feelings are his sins.]]

* EngineeredHeroics: [[spoiler: With the revelation of the reason why countries like Japan is summoned to Meteos' world, the entire plot and backstory of ''Japan Summons'' is this, at least according to Kagaseo. The Civilization Annihilation Game sets up the Ravernal Empire as the "antagonists" of the latest season while naming Japan as their "protagonist", or more precisely, a whole country of {{Unwitting Pawn}}s.]]
* EnigmaticEmpoweringEntity: [[spoiler: Whatever unknown being who gives Kagaseo the jar used to absorb the Civilization Annihilation Game's players he defeated to be converted into his own power and allow him a fighting chance in his one-god war against the entire Game serves as this.]]
* GreaterScopeParagon: [[spoiler: Kagaseo, the deity who reincarnated Meteos, and, Astarte, whose prayer saved Meteos' soul during the P[R]OL[OGUE] arc and clearly a force of good that once willingly sacrifice the memories of her in order to save the natives of her world. On the other hand, the entity who granted Kagaseo the power-up tool to survive in his one-man war against the Civilization Annihilation Game is ambiguous.]]
* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler: The [[Main/NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Civilization Annihilation Game]], the reason behind why entities such as countries are forcibly transferred from their home world to the other, of which [[Main/LightIsNotGood Shamash]] is a member of as an Assistant Producer.]]
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler: Among the Civilization Annihilation Game's audience, there are some whose definition of 'watching their idol's performance' is to see said idol (in this case, Astarte) get subjected to horrific torture. Sometime after Kagaseo took Astarte away, [[Main/AssholeVictim these Audiences are later deleted by the Executive Producer with impunity for angrily reminding him of their lost entertainment.]]]]
* KungFuWizard: Mages affiliated with the MOASEC [[spoiler: and the Order of the Ancients]] are shown to be skilled martial artists as well.
* LighterAndSofter: Being a character-oriented story, JARS emphasizes more on interactions between individuals, especially scenes of characters showing affection to others in the form of platonic, familial, and even romantic love. [[spoiler: Even the story itself cannot start if not for the forgotten goddess Astarte's unconditional love allowing the main character to survive the trials given to him by Kagaseo and reincarnate.]]

* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: For Meteos' soul to reincarnate, [[spoiler: he must first survive in a duel against the god who proceeds to pummel him to the ground, albeit this said god is Main/WillfullyWeak and Main/FightsLikeANormal.]]
* OffTheRails: Butterfly effect aside, [[spoiler: the Civilization Annihilation Game seems to remain unaware of the alterations happening in Ars Goetia because of their mindset focusing on spectacular large-scale events that ''one'' mortal soul armed with memories of the future, memories inherited from one of the planets they slaughtered, and an unbridled determination completely went under their radar.]]

* PowerOfLove: [[spoiler: Astarte's love is what allows the soul of Meteos Roguerider to barely even the playing field in the fight against Kagaseo, amusing the Star God enough to grant him reincarnation, thus kickstarting the entire plot.]]

** "August Star of Heaven", which is shared by three different entities in the story: [[spoiler: Kagaseo/Amatsu-Mikaboshi]], the meteor that banished the Ancient Sorcerous Empire, and the Holy Milishial Empire.

** [[spoiler: In the P[R]OL[OGUE] arc, Kagaseo declares that [[Series/KamenRiderRyuki "if you don't fight, you won't survive!"]]]]
* TragicVillain: [[spoiler: The Malakh/Light-Winged People, the species that made up the Ancient Sorcerous Empire, was initially a benevolent race that had survived the Civilization Annihilation Game twice yet still had the potential to evolve into a greater good. They became genocidal devils that Meteos' world knew because their souls were corrupted the Game after they were caught escaping the "epilogue" for their species' annihilation saga that rendered their planet inhospitable, which results in a major alteration to the history of Meteos' world and gave the Game an opportunity to start another season.]]

** The P[R]OL[OGUE] arc (Chapters 40-43) [[spoiler: reveals the true nature of why countries from another world like Japan, Mu, and the Gra Valkas Empire is sent to Meteos' world: it is nothing more than a part of the Civilization Annihilation Game, a reality show that caters to bloodthirsty audiences, and the misery born from every entity involved is said to be addictive substances to the higher beings in a similar fashion to narcotics.]]

** The appearance of [[spoiler: [[Series/KamenRiderGeats Desire Grand Prix Rider equipment]]]] comes out of nowhere.

!!These are the tropes contained in this jar:

** [[spoiler: Death, the Fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse, reset the Second Timeline into the Third Timeline.]]

* {{Crossover}}: Aside from the occasional references to ''Kamen Rider'', [[spoiler: the P[R]OL[OGUE] arc is a crossover to ''Series/KamenRiderGeats'' with the appearance of Main/TransformationTrinkets Desire Driver and Vision Driver, which are used by Meteos and Kagaseo respectively to transform into Rider forms during the fight between Meteos' first death and his rebirth (Rogue for Meteos and Glare-X for Kagaseo).]]

** The New World as the world is known in canon is given three names in this story: Loagaeth, Ars Goetia, and at least someone calls the planet Luciftias.
