2
3	It’s [[Tropers/IrueruPunch Irueru Punch's]] AlternateUniverse of VideoGame/RagnarokOnline where things can go completely different from what really happened. Although it's still following {{Canon}} as far as the setting is concerned.
4
5	Following a trio of newly-friends who just met when they are about to enter the final exam of Izlude’s Critelia Novice Academy:
6
7	* [[TheHeroine Kirika Friar]] - a purple-haired girl who wants to be an Assassin because “a certain Assassin Cross” saved her from being lost at Sograt Desert. She lives happily with her family at Morroc, and likes playing with her little sister Eariene. She’s cheerful, kind, a bit sensitive, and never seen without wearing her Note Headphone. Don’t ask her about her weight though; because she will lecture you about why asking that is an insult to girls.
8	* [[TheOjou Lilian F. Trautor]] - the pink-haired eldest daughter of House Trautor, a noble family who owns Midgard Times, the largest newspaper company in Rune-Midgarts Kingdom. She has two elder brothers and a little sister. Because she’s not the heir to the company, she decided to become a Wizard instead. Her vast knowledge of the world often helps the party to decide what they will do. She’s bit arrogant sometimes, but she likes to help others. And she has troubles of expressing her feelings to others.
9	* [[MysteriousWaif Elise Lhytus]] - a white-haired girl who Kirika identifies as “a loner”. She’s never seen without her cold stare and her Bonnet Hat, which she refuses to remove from her head for some reason. Although she’s cold, she can pull a snark or two when her other friends do stupid things. She has this passion to become friendly with everyone, and she believes that becoming a Priest will help her. And hopefully, she can “go back home”…
10
11	In their journey, the trio will be accompanied with various friends and foes. Ranging from fellow Novice Academy alumni, rivals from other guilds, various organizations, and people they don’t expect to meet.
12
13	Story is divided into six parts:
14	* First Arc
15	* Intermission
16	* Transcendence Arc, which is divided into three parts:
17	** Arunafeltz Arc
18	** Schwartzvalt Arc
19	** Rune-Midgarts Arc
20	* Intermission Redeux
21	* Finale
22	* Aftermath
23
24	Has a currently in-progress {{Prequel}} titled [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9421696/1/Sorry-I-m-Late Sorry, I'm Late.]]
25
26	!!Tropes found in the whole story (and unless specified, most of them are from Transcendence Arc):
27	* AerithAndBob: The people inhabiting Rune-Midgarts. On one hand, you have Lilian, Carissa, Fridays, and Cornell. On the other hand, you have...Suzuna? Tao? Rouen? Syariffudin? Transcendence Arc made it worse, since most of AscendedExtra NPC who join the party have odd-sounding names.
28	** This following conversation sums it best:
29	--->'''[[IdiotHero Maku]]''': Wait, what!? Why should we-
30	--->'''[[OnlySaneMan Lilian]]''': You three have odd-sounding names for this country's standards, you know. In order to blend better with us Midgartsians, you need plainer, less flashy names.
31	*** However, ItMakesSenseInContext, considering [[spoiler:by the time this conversation happened, Rune-Midgarts was still on bad terms with the other two countries.]]
32	* AnotherSideAnotherStory: The main point of Transcendence Arc.
33	* AscendedExtra
34	** In First Arc, Suzuna was adopted by Trautor family and stayed at Eden HQ after the party saved her. In Intermission, she became the main character. She's demoted to TheLancer by the time Transcendence Arc came in, but a large chunk of the story still focus on her.
35	** Almost all the characters involved in Friendship quests line become major characters.
36	** Hes O'Neil from President quest got the largest boost of relevancy out of the other NPC. She's basically evolves from a BrokenBridge NPC to [[spoiler:a major character who affects most of the underlying plot ties of Transcendence Arc.]]
37	** The Darmawan family (Udin, Aise, and Philia) during Aftermath.
38	* AmplifierArtifact: The Heart of Ymir pieces for the Agents.
39	* BalefulPolymorph: PlayedForLaughs during Halloween festive chapters.
40	* BadassArmy: everyone during The Battle of Beelzebub. And naturally all the guilds who participate in War of Emperium.
41	* BadassInDistress: it's not even a spoiler that Rene is often gotten herself kidnapped and still kicks many asses. [[spoiler:Then again...]]
42	* BribingYourWayToVictory: During First Arc, Rene ''almost'' did this to get the guild pass the qualification test. Luckily, Lilian noticed.
43	* BreakTheCutie: may as well call this fic "BreakTheCutie the Series".
44	* BreatherEpisode: As noted above, Intermission and Intermission Redeux are this. Although each parts have their own BreatherEpisode too.
45	* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: "Form Change!"
46	* CombatMedic: Elise and Tao fit this trope to a T. Harold is more support-oriented than other Crusader-type characters, too.
47	* DudeLooksLikeALady: Fridays. In fact, this is the reason why he's dragged into becoming a Dancer in the first place. Moreso is Harley; apparently all the testosterones went to Harold.
48	* ElementalPowers

50	** MakingASplash: Brue, Elim, Ellen, Carissa

61	* EnemyMine:
62	** In First Arc, this is how Harold and Vennedita joined the party, as they're after Ghostring too.
63	** The Schwartzvalt Arc team ultimately wants to take down Rekenber's regime. But they have their own reasons: {{Revenge}} (Digotz, Katinshuell, and Neil), saving their beloveds (Brue and Harley), knowing the truth (Maku), doing favor for the greater good (Elise), and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking because they pissed her off]] (Rene). Keep in mind that in the beginning everyone was pissed off on poor Kat.
64	* EveryoneIsBi: Oh yes. For example, the three main characters have ''male'' love interests, but that doesn't stop them from having [[LesYay "subtexts"]] with each other.

108	*** TheChick: Lecolé
109	*** TagalongKid: Xiao Long
110	*** TeamPet: Nuul
111	** The Schwartzvalt team is notable for not having this dynamic, partially because they have their own agendas and hates each other's guts. [[spoiler:But after they sorted things out and formed Republic Rebellion Front, they played this straight.]]
112	*** [[spoiler:TheLeader]]: [[spoiler:Digotz]]
113	*** [[spoiler:[[TheLancer Co Lancers]]]]: [[spoiler:Elise and Neil]]
114	*** [[spoiler:[[TheBigGuy The Big Girl]]]]: [[spoiler:Brue]]
115	*** [[spoiler:TheSmartGuy]]: [[spoiler:Harley]]
116	*** [[spoiler:TheHeart]]: [[spoiler:Maku]]
117	*** [[spoiler:SixthRanger]]: [[spoiler:Katinshuell]]

121	** TheDragon: Elsa
122	** TheBrute: Vince
123	** TheEvilGenius: Kenneth
124	** TheDarkChick: L'Rydia
125	** [[spoiler:SixthRanger[=/=]TokenGoodTeammate]]: [[spoiler:Kat]]
126	* FriendlyRivalry: Slothelodious Queens and sParTAn! have this dynamic.
127	* FullNameBasis: Grand Valkyrie does this all the time.
128	* GivenNameReveal: all over the place.
129	-->'''Elise''': Yes, I am from another world. Lhistuse Lye is my name; or at least, it was.
130	-->[[spoiler:'''Serin''': Let me embrace you for the last time, my daughter Venncia Gretchel. I hope we could meet again...]]
131	-->[[spoiler:'''Harley''': No, that's not how I remember you! You're not L'Rydia; you are Elrayne Chromedea!]]
132	* HalfIdenticalTwins: Harold and Harley are pretty much identical except for their hair lengths (again, Harley's is longer), their classes, and their personalities.
133	* HandicappedBadass: Cornell has only one eye.
134	* HappilyAdopted: Venne is adopted by the owner of her orphanage. Suzuna is adopted by Trautor family. [[spoiler:Elise was basically adopted by the Grisheims. Digotz has President Karl adopted him in desperation. In the end, Lulipus is Kirika and Harold's adopted daughter.]]
135	* HeartbrokenBadass: Elsa, Kat, Kirika [[spoiler:post-Morroc Impact]].
136	* IdiotHero: The initial trio avert this to varying degrees, with Kirika having the lowest Intelligence out of the three. Intermission, however, has [[RaisedByWolves Suzuna]] [[spoiler:misinterpreted Kirika's words to "keep the guild intact" by claiming to "take over as the new leader"]]. That's the smartest she could be at the time. She got better by the time Transcendence Arc kicks in.
137	** Transcendence Arc made the returning characters a bit smarter, and most of the new additions are not too shabby either. [[BookDumb Maku]], however...
138	* IdolSinger: Philia and her "rival" Jingha.
139	* LaResistance: Secret Wing[[spoiler:, later known as Republic Rebellion Front.]]
140	* LateArrivalSpoiler: Good luck finding artworks of First Arc, as most of them are either Transcendence Arc or Aftermath.
141	** This page. Are you reading the {{Prequel}} up until the newest chapter? Sorry, then. Hell, Kenneth even warns you in Omake 2 Special of the prequel.
142	** Elise's true name and her StableTimeLoop.
143	* LikesOlderWomen: Jashqa, Karyn, and Vince agree. Harley too, until TheReveal that [[spoiler:said older woman is now younger than him due to...[[NightmareFuel stuffs]] she went throught when they were separated.]]
144	* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: see all those names on ElementalPowers entry? That's just the main cast.
145	** CastOfSnowflakes: each with their own unique appearance, story, and builds.
146	* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:Is it "Jashqa, I am your older brother", Kenneth? Or "Kirika, we are your cousins", Karyn and Curdie? Or is it "Vennedita, I am your mother", Serin?]] The literal example, however, happens during a side story centered on Suzuna and her family: [[spoiler:the one who sent a request that ultimately killed the Mastering who raised Suzuna is none other than her father.]]
147	* MacGuffin: The Heart of Ymir.
148	* MeaningfulRename: Lhistuse to Elise. [[spoiler:Elrayne to L'Rydia]]. [[spoiler:Josepha to Kenneth]]. [[spoiler:Secret Wing to Republic Rebellion Front]].
149	* [[MemoryTropes Memory]]: Where do we ''begin''? It is ''the'' source of most of the dramas in latter parts of Intermission and Transcendence Arc.
150	** AmnesiaMissedASpot: Encouraged by Grand Valkyrie herself. A guild must have at least one member whose class isn't qualified to Transcend. Then, s/he must find other Transcended members and restore their memories. If not, the Valkyries will lead the amnesiacs to their closest relatives to do the process.
151	** AmnesiacHero: But of course.
152	** AmnesiacLiar: Rekenber. Dear Odin, ''Rekenber''. On a lighter note, Kidd and Rin had to do so on Kirika because she wished [[spoiler:to forget that she once had a foster family]].
153	** AmnesiacLover: Kirika and Harold, most of the time. [[spoiler:This also applies to the souls that reside within them, Kileyka and Hibram, via GhostAmnesia.]]
154	** BrainwashResidue: [[spoiler:Elrayne]] sometimes can slips into [[spoiler:her "L'Rydia" personality]], and so does [[spoiler:Rene and her "Aultuleva Renes" alter ego]]. Mostly PlayedForLaughs, but there are times when it's PlayedForDrama.
155	** EasyAmnesia
156	** FakeMemories: In the prequel, Katinshuell and Kazien discussed how it worked for the Friendship Duo.
157	** FakingAmnesia: Elise is the master of this[[spoiler: (except for her final timeline iteration)]]; mostly because of her [[spoiler:Gift of Time and Grand Valkyrie's awareness of it]]. [[spoiler:Lulipus pulled this stunt to gain Kirika's trust, but she's BecomingTheMask in the process.]]
158	** IdentityAmnesia: How Transcendence [[spoiler:usually]] works.
159	** LaserGuidedAmnesia
160	** MemoryWipingCrew: One of the Valkyries' side jobs.
161	** PastLifeMemories: Elise retains all of her previous iterations' memories. [[spoiler:Except for her final timeline iteration.]]
162	* MultinationalTeam: In-universe, all three significant countries get represented in the party. Some Global Map Project areas too.
163	* NonIndicativeName: The Slothelodious ''Queens'', despite being a female-oriented guild, has four ''males'' in their memberships.
164	* OlderThanTheyLook: Is Fridays really 19? [[spoiler:Though once he mans up in Intermission Redeux, he starts to look like his age more.]]
165	** Olivier is 20. Looks no more older than Seong-Lee and Suzuna, who are 18.
166	** Suzuna herself, during First Arc. She is 13, but looks younger than twelve-years-old Rene.
167	** Elise was this for the most of Transcendence Arc [[spoiler:as a punishment for altering the timeline 99 times. She ages normally after she took down post-BreakTheCutie Maku and Brue.]]
168	** [[spoiler:Elrayne is actually 29 years old. She was frozen when she was 18, and is only awoken 3 months prior to Schwartzvald Arc.]]
169	** Oliver is said to be looking like a fifteen years old teenager. How old he really is? Nobody knows.
170	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Bruspetti much prefers being called as "Brue", as she thinks her name is too tongue-rolling. Some of the Rachel-originated characters use this too (Katinshuell/Kat, Lachellen/Ellen, [[spoiler:Vianthrofel/Via]]).
171	** Justified for "Brue", as it's her ''canon'' nickname in Japanese version of RO.
172	** Rene. But since the "T" in "Trene" is silent, this is kind of {{Justified\|Trope}}.
173	* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Pretty much the entire reason of Der\|\|Kaskuser's existence.
174	* TheRedBaron: Almost everyone has their own titles, which are given because of their position and achievements.
175	* RedEyesTakeWarning: Every Rekenber's Agents has them except Kat, since he's a new member [[spoiler:(he gets them later anyway)]]. [[spoiler:Lulipus (pink) and Maku (brown) lost theirs at first due to their lost memories, but when they regained them, they stays that way.]]
176	** [[spoiler:Aise having them despite not being an Agent is a foreshadowing to her true nature as Hrist.]]
177	* ReplacementGoldfish: Jashqa is treated as such by his parents, who seem to favor their eldest son more.
178	* SignificantAnagram: "Elise Lhytus" is just anagram of "Lhistuse Lye".
179	* SparedByAdaptation: [[spoiler:Elise really meant it when she said she will save ''everyone''. Even though she still made exceptions.]]
180	* SplitPersonalityTakeover: [[spoiler:How Olivier and Lulipus underwent their HeelFaceRevolvingDoor. Maku's ''almost'' snapped if it not for Elise literally knocked it down.]]
181	** [[spoiler:All three of them were parts of Rekenber's experiment on WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity and were made Agents because their SplitPersonality have mind of their own, so it's justified.]]
182	* ThemeNaming:
183	** The Nakalz's surnames are all about [[NumericalThemeNaming numbers]].
184	** Harold and Harley have AlliterativeFamily ThemeTwinNaming. Their mother is Helena.
185	** Ki'''ri'''ka, Li'''li'''an, and E'''li'''se.
186	* TransformationTrinket: Formless Crystal (non-Transcendent classes), Regalia Crystal (Transcendent classes onwards).
187	* WorldOfBadass
188	* WorthyOpponent: how Kirika views Carissa.
189	** Ditto with Elsa and Neil.
190	* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Kirika sports purple, Lilian has pink, while Elise's is [[MysticalWhiteHair pure white]]. And those are just the main trio's!
191	** Literal blue hair belongs to Grisheim twins and their mother (cobalt blue), Orica (steel blue), Elsa (neon blue), Tao (dark blue), and several background civilians.
192	* YoungerThanTheyLook: Yes, Rene and Jashqa were 12 for the most of First Arc. Especially jarring in Jashqa's case, when he looks no more older than his LoveInterest Venne, who is four years older than him.
193
