* {{Manchild}}: Francis. The story is pretty sympathetic to him and his [[AcceptableTargets potentially very mockable lifestyle]] (he's a successful streamer, but [[BasementDweller the parents he lives with]] don't understand his work) but even Eryk, ''his friend,'' describes him as "like a child, but in a nice and innocent way."

''[[https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/29956/reborn-on-a-systemless-earth-with-a-system Reborn on a Systemless Earth...with a System]]'' is a WebSerialNovel by [=Thedude3445=], author of ''[[Literature/ATLStoriesFromTheRetrofuture ATL: Stories from the Retrofuture]]'' and ''[[Literature/HandsHeldInTheSnow Hands Held in the Snow]]''.

In this twist on the LitRPG [[TrappedInAnotherWorld isekai genre,]] Eryk Solbourne, a D-Rank [Adventurer], is suddenly launched from the dungeons of Mystix into our modern world. How can he possibly adapt to this strange new planet?

Simple: [[JumpedAtTheCall he won't.]]

* ADayInTheLimelight: Special chapters tend to focus on side and periphery characters, with a detached third-person POV.
* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: Chapter 20 is called "A Plan to Push Power to the Plimit."
** And Chapter 95 is "Another Audience Allowed, Allelujah."

--> '''Francis:''' Delta’s my best friend. She may be a little direct sometimes, but she means well.\\

'''Delta:''' I’m going to throw him out of the car in about fifteen seconds.
* ButchLesbian: Delta. Self-proclaimed dyke, will only wear a skirt when it's mandated by her job. [[spoiler: In high school, she went through a major ElegantGothicLolita phase, [[OnceDoneNeverForgotten which she wants Francis to shut up about.]]]]

* ChildhoodFriends: Francis and Delta grew up together, which explains why they feel so comfortable [[VitriolicBestBuds tossing verbal barbs at each other.]]
* ChivalrousPervert: Eryk has no qualms about ogling his friends at the hot springs and is WAY more excited about sharing hotel room beds than his buds. How much of that is [[CasanovaWannabe his own]] [[JustFriends overzealousness]] and how much is due to Mystix's different cultural norms is...up to interpretation. But make no mistake: he would never take advantage of others.

* TheComicallySerious: Francis' quips and [[DeadpanSnarker Delta's biting sarcasm,]] not to mention a load of cultural nuance, go right over Eryk's head.
* DenserAndWackier: While there's always a current of grounded family drama concerning Francis and Delta, [[WorldOfWeirdness Eryk doesn't remain the only wacky thing on Earth for long.]]
* DifficultButAwesome: There are a few classes on Mystix (such as [Toxin] and [Demigod]) that could conceivably be cool but, in practice, [[PowerDegeneration kill their users long before then...]]or in the case of [Supremes], their uses are so specific and restricted that [[ButtMonkey everyone laughs at them.]] [[spoiler: One way the New Slayers gather forces is by pulling these classes into their ranks. A single [Toxin] is constantly on the verge of death, but what about a well-coordinated army of them?]]
* DoppelgangerAttack: Eryk gets a move called "Clone" [[spoiler: and uses it to summon [[EvilDoppelganger a rascally version of himself]] who saves the day (while nearly killing everyone).]]
* TheDreaded: Before they even meet, Eryk hears stories that teach him to fear and respect the name of...[[PlayedForLaughs Julie.]] She even exudes an ominous aura from a distance.

-->"Why, hello there! Welcome to the fight club. First rule of fight club is, of course, have fun!"
* FightLikeACardPlayer: Eryk's powers come from a Destiny Deck. While Life Points are primarily stamina, and Destiny Points are primarily experience points, he can sacrifice either of these to draw more Destiny Cards, increasing his arsenal and inventory space. It's not much like an actual card game, except that [[spoiler: there are holofoils.]]
* FirstEpisodeResurrection: He was ''supposed'' to get [[ReincarnateInAnotherWorld reincarnated...]]

** [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling Taylor]] and Francis. Their parents don't like what Francis does for a living, but at least they don't see him as a ''persona non grata'' like Taylor, who ran away from home. [[spoiler: [[DoubleSubversion Double subverted.]] At first, Francis looks like the responsible one, but it turns out that the parents have grudging respect for Taylor's financial success. After [[TeenMom a teen pregnancy,]] she ran off to Hollywood to make it big...[[RichSiblingPoorSibling and succeeded, so while Francis makes a lot of money, Taylor is filthy rich,]] and not a BasementDweller to boot. The second subversion comes when we realize that Taylor is [[BitchInSheepsClothing a shallow jerk,]] so Francis is still the more decent person.]]
** [[spoiler: Eryk and [[AntiVillain Rare.]] One's fooling around on Earth while the other's been calmly training themself and amassing a small army.]]

* HeelFaceBrainwashing: [[spoiler: Team Fanghook weren't just Eryk's adventuring guides and allies...they were guarding [[LaserGuidedAmnesia amnesiac]] SealedEvilInACan.]]
* HotSpringsEpisode

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: This moment in chapter 51, after Eryk marvels at how great a hybrid bus-train vehicle would be:
--> '''Delta:''' Should we...show him Disneyland later?\\

** Francis complains about how [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse Marvel movies]] always make their villains parallels their heroes right after [[spoiler: [[{{Foil}} flagrant parallels]] emerge between Eryk and his systemless wizard sibling Rare.]]
* [[spoiler: LongLostRelative: Eryk's sibling Rare [[FakingTheDead didn't actually die in that war.]]]]
* MageInManhattan: Eryk, uh, doesn't leave the anime convention the same way he found it. Unlike the typical example, [[SustainedMisunderstanding he didn't quite mean to.]]
--> "In the end, the energy sword was good for little more than burning a tree to the ground and mentally scarring people for life."

* ManChild: Francis. The story is pretty sympathetic to him and his [[AcceptableTargets potentially very mockable lifestyle]] (he's a successful streamer, but [[BasementDweller the parents he lives with]] don't understand his work) but even Eryk, ''his friend,'' describes him as "like a child, but in a nice and innocent way."
* MayflyDecemberRomance: On Mystix, Eryk was romantically involved with Malia, an elf who was already about 100 when they met and destined to outlive him. Even after he's reborn on Earth, [[spoiler: he ends up seeing her on Mystix again in strange, time-skipping circumstanecs—[[InvertedTrope and she's the elderly one.]]]]
* TheMenInBlack: Agent Y and Agent Z, [[VerbalTic don't you think?]]
* MinMaxing: To Francis' shock, the concept of [[{{Munchkin}} munchkinry]] doesn't exist on Mystix. On Earth, he does end up consciously maxing out Eryk's gains...[[spoiler:from junk food and road tripping. [Adventurers] gain experience by trying new things. What better and faster way to do that than by eating combos?]]

* NormalFishInATinyPond: Eryk's system gives him an array of powers that could smoke ''anyone'' on Earth. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] because if Eryk beats anyone up, he's going to prison. Oh, and if he doesn't keep living like an [Adventurer], [[BlessedWithSuck that same system, which constantly drains his life, will kill him.]]

* RecurringDreams: Eryk keeps dreaming of floating in a strange, wooded area not unlike a DreamLand. [[spoiler: Turns out it's Mystix, and not a flashback either.]]

* TakingOverHeaven: This is the plan of [[spoiler: Rare and Team Fanghook: they believe that The Goddess is the source of Mystix's systems and, therefore, of their deepest problems.]]
* ThatMysteriousThing: Eryk has the apparently useless, apparently unimportant stat of..."viscosity."
** It turns out that this stat is [[spoiler: good for ''one'' very specific niche thing: "sticking" to waves while you're surfing.]]
* TotallyRadical: Santa Barbara is filled with extreme-sports-loving, skateboard-jumping [[SurferDude Surfer Dudes.]]
* TownWithADarkSecret: [[spoiler: [[LastWords Wine Country is a lie...]]]]
* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: First chapter came out in February 2020. Takes place in 2023. The author uses this to speculate about a continuing rise of video game culture and new gaming trends, and to throw around terms like "the Trump Succession Crisis" and "''[[Film/BladeTrilogy Blade]]'' remake."
--> "This Get N Go is pretty big, a lot bigger than a Gamestop would have been (RIP)."
* TwoLinesNoWaiting: [[spoiler: Eventually, Eryk is travelling Earth by day and Mystix by night (as he sleeps). Inevitably, the lines intersect...]]

* WindmillCrusader: When Eryk first arrives on Earth, he knows he has to defend himself...against innocent bystanders at an anime con.
--> "Cosplay... Whatever creature this refers to, I will slay many, many cosplays."
* YaoiFangirl: Delta. Since it clashes with [[StraightMan her image,]] she's too ashamed to admit it.
* YearOutsideHourInside: This is how a special training chamber on Mystix works: compress time to maximize gains. [[TrainingFromHell It stings.]]

* WitchSpecies: Eryk looks like any other human, but none of his cells have mitochondria. Combine this with the fact that people on Mystix can use magic even without their system, and you've got a more magical breed of human.

In this twist on the [[RPGMechanicsVerse LitRPG]] [[TrappedInAnotherWorld isekai genre,]] Eryk Solbourne, a D-Rank [Adventurer], is suddenly launched from the dungeons of Mystix into our modern world. How can he possibly adapt to this strange new planet?

* MayflyDecemberRomance: On Mystix, Eryk was romantically involved with Malia, an elf who was already about 100 when they met and destined to outlive him. Even after he's reborn on Earth, [[spoiler: he ends up seeing her on Mystix again in strange, time-skipping circumstanecs—[[InvertedTrope and ''she's'' the old one.]]]]

* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Eryk is NOT Francis' boyfriend (according to Francis). The world disagrees. [[PlatonicDeclarationOfLove So does Eryk...]]
