* LightningBruiser: The Bonecat is the size of a boulder, tough enough to shrug off everything Matt's non-combat class can hit it with, strong enough to uproot trees, claws the size of Matt's arm, and faster than him even with his enhanced Dexterity. Only the fact that it's less good at turning corners, and doesn't like to enter the ocean, lets him survive for any length of time.

The result is that the System instance is drained of all its remaining resources and dies shortly afterward.]]

* BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil: The System deliberately maintains a balance so as to keep nations leashed and controllable. Any time that one side appears to be gaining the upper hand and might end the perpetual war, they'll find that their enemies have new boons of some sort that keep the fighting going. [[spoiler:Matt is a SpannerInTheWorks of this process, both on Gaia, where he's the hero ''and'' the world dictator, then later on Ra'zor, where he might actually beat the demon king permanently -- which is a big part of why the System wants him dead.]]

* EvilOverlord: Having full authority over a planet lets you claim and control territory and gain bonuses from it. It's the kind of power that the System is supposed to give to villains, with different powers being given to heroes, thus keeping them in a balanced stalemate. The Gaian System instance never intended for Matt, as a reincarnator, to gain that kind of authority, but it's not especially bothered so long as he's about to starve in a desert. Once there's a real prospect of him surviving to ''use'' that authority, however, it freaks out.

* MoralMyopia: As far as the System is concerned, Matt is being an unreasonable pain in the neck. Nevermind that it was the System who promised him a paradise and then dropped him in a tremendous wasteland. Or that the reason it wants him dead is simply because he intends to use the assets given to him to fix the place up to what it should have been all along. Or that it only tried negotiating with him after bending every rule it could reach to kill him, and its offer would have shafted the one person who has kept Matt company and helped him out. Nope, as far as the System is concerned, it's all Matt's fault.
