* Subverted in ''Manga/ReincarnationColosseum'': The main character is reincarnated in another world and receives the Goddess's blessing of the ability "Copy Skill". He believes that his skill "Copy Skill" is a StoryBreakerPower. He is quickly informed that this is not true via three flaws- (1) he can copy a skill but it is only from someone nearby and he does not retain the ability. (2) He can copy a skill but he does not gain the experience or mastery to use said skill effectively. (3) A copied skill does not retain the exact power level of the original skill- a 5 star skill can only be copied at a 2-3 star level. He manages to survive only through unorthodox thinking (of that world) and the outside assistance of an inhabitant of that world.

* PlayedWith in ''Manga/MySisterAndGiant''. Being reincarnated into the world's setting is a known phenomenon within that world, and each person that does receives one blessing from goddess. While this would normally qualify for this trope, it ends up being [[ExploitedTrope Exploited]] by the inhabitants thanks to the culture that has formed around it. This can range from very benign methods of benefiting from their cheat skills to [[FateWorseThanDeath insurmountably awful ones]] for the reincarnated people who aren't careful about who they associate with, as well as developing methods to counteract certain skills.
** It is also [[DefiedTrope Defied]] by the main character Hinako, who willingly forgoes her chance at a blessing for personal reasons. [[spoiler:This in turn causes another character to gain two thanks to an unused skill slot.]]

* In [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/11716765/davido747 davido747]]'s ''King of Fakers'' series, an alternate version of [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Shirou Emiya]] keeps being summoned or reincarnated into different worlds. Due to his ability to copy weapons and skills, he becomes more and more powerful each time he goes to a new world. For example, in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13891233/1/Reenacting-a-legend Reenacting a legend]]'', which puts him in the ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD'' world, he has the various Angel weapons he gained in the previous fic, ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13441807/1/Date-a-density Date a density]]'', where he was in the ''Literature/DateALive'' world.

* {{Downplayed}} in ''Literature/TheFarawayPaladin''. Thanks to his adoptive parents, Will is incredibly strong, fast, and tough, as well as skilled at using both the Words of Creation and benedictions. But none of these skills are exclusive to him, he just had the benefit of having great teachers.

* The protagonist of ''Literature/NowImADemonLordHappilyEverAfterWithMonsterGirlsInMyDungeon'' dies and gets another chance at life in a fantasy world when a newborn [[LivingStructureMonster sentient dungeon]] chooses him to be its master. If the dungeon's core is destroyed, he'll die too, but he receives various perks to help him defend it. He's reincarnated as a demon lord with an incredibly powerful body that will never grow old and doesn't need to eat, but he can still pass himself off as an unremarkable-looking human. He also has various ways of accumulating Dungeon Points, which can be spent on all sorts of things, like expanding the dungeon, installing traps, summoning monsters, learning new skills, or creating all kinds of items, including weapons, potions, equipment, furniture, games, and food. That last one turns out to be unexpectedly powerful when he encounters an ancient dragon with a sweet tooth who agrees to become his ally [[TastesLikeFriendship in exchange for]] delicious Earth snacks like chocolate, cookies, and donuts.

* ''Literature/SaintessSummonsSkeletons'' takes place in a fantasy world where the gods can endow chosen people with a portion of their divine power, turning them into saints who can [[SummonEverymanHero summon people from other worlds to become heroes]]. Upon arrival, three hero's blessings are picked at random and the hero is given the descriptions and gets to choose the one they'll keep.
* ''Literature/SwordArtOnline'': Kirito's hugely boosted stats in the VR game are explained by his having been a beta-tester for the game, in effect getting a head start compared to other players thanks to having prior knowledge of the first several floors (though he wasn't alone in this advantage and it comes as a nasty shock that several things were ''changed'' after the beta and before the full release). The ALO and GGO arcs also has Kirito discovering that the developers used the same engine as Sword Arts Online for their games and his avatar's insane power level carries with him as an unexpected OldSaveBonus, which comes in handy since [[UnskilledButStrong he's out of his depth in mastering the different mechanics]] such as flying and magic in ALO or the gun-based combat of GGO.

* Revealed as a plot-point near the end of ''Literature/SaikyouJuzokuTensei''. [[spoiler: After his death, TheProtagonist's soul was pulled away from the cycle of Reincarnation, without it getting purified of its personality and PastLifeMemories, into the new world where he [[ReincarnateInAnotherWorld reincarnates]] as a newborn baby. This ended up granting him an [[TheArchmage incredible amount of magic and the capacity to hold it]] in his human body, and his magic grew [[BeyondTheImpossible unlike any human in the new world could]] as he trained and studied, all because he was a soul from another world]].
** In a twist of the trope ''(Heavy spoilers)'', [[spoiler: it was also revealed that the GreaterScopeVillain's machinations were [[CreateYourOwnHero responsible for accidentally pulling the protagonist's soul into the new world]]. When one the CoDragons realized this, he watched his growth, researched the circumstances of his Reincarnation, in order to [[WeaponizedTropes weaponize]] the trope, and gathered over 200 people who were also reincarnated, hoping to train them as {{evil counterpart}}s to TheProtagonist]].
* In ''Literature/SoImASpiderSoWhat'', the whole class of reincarnated students (plus their teacher!) was each given a special skill that gives them LevelUpFillUp, a unique skill suited to their personality and [[CameBackStrong a metric truckload of starting Skill Points]] to spend upon [[BornWinner their birth]] [[ReincarnateInAnotherWorld in the new world.]] These unique skills include such things as being able to [[ThePowerOfCreation create weapons out of thin air]], [[MesACrowd create shadow clones]] or just [[BornLucky being very lucky]]. Oddly enough however, [[TheRuntAtTheEnd the protagonist herself is a severely downplayed example]]: she has a ''very'' small amount of starting Skill Points (the smallest of any of the reincarnated students, in fact) and her "unique" skill is simply the upgraded version of a speed increasing ability, one that ''anybody'' could acquire with enough effort, albeit one that proves responsible for saving her life several times early on. To add insult to injury, while some of the other students got to [[RagsToRiches be reborn into notable families (including royalty)]], the protagonist was [[TheGoomba reincarnated as the weakest spider monster]] in the middle of [[EverythingTryingToKillYou the most dangerous dungeon in the planet!]] This disparity only endears her to the readers even more, however, as the protagonist becomes [[PersonOfMassDestruction the most powerful of the reincarnators]] while they're all babies through [[{{Determinator}} sheer hard work, stubbornness and determination,]] all while the charming spider [[PluckyGirl tries to be upbeat about it.]]
** Much later, the disparity in starting power is revealed to be because [[spoiler:it reflects the state of the soul, and the protagonist's non-human soul was initially that much weaker than the other reincarnators (for reference, she was an ''actual'' spider that was given a bunch of FakeMemories by a god). This also explains why said reincarnators are so much more powerful at birth than most natives of that world, as their souls are fresh while the natives [[AndIMustScream have been forced to reincarnate over and over every time they die]], [[CameBackWrong denying their soul the rest and recovery it needs to keep itself healthy]], which directly translates into the efficiency and effectiveness of the power it can harness.]]

* ''Although I Am Only Level 1, but with This Unique Skill, I Am the Strongest:'' Satou Ryouta has S-grade in all Monster Drop skills, allowing him to obtain items from defeating monsters to raise his stat.
* ''Because I Was Excluded Out of the Class Transfer, I Decided to Steal My Classmate's Lover:'' Kirishima Ran can use Underling Training to mind control women.
* ''Himekishi ga Classmate! ~ Isekai Cheat de Dorei ka Harem~:'' Odamori Tooru has Slavemancer, a Cheat class that can control the minds of others.
* ''HP 9999999999:'' Azora Yuuto, reincarnated as the High King who rules over the demon race, has 9999999999 HP, 9,999,999,999 MP, 99,999 ATK, 99,999 DEF and so many skills the display glitched out.

* ''I Have Became Able to Do Anything with My Growth Cheat, but I Can't Seem to Get out of Being Jobless:'' Ichinosuke's [[InstantExpert advanced growth rate]] (a combination of "gains 20x normal XP" and "needs 1/20th the XP to level"), allows him to develop 400 times normal. This combines with his retaining the default "Jobless" job, which levels impossibly slowly (for anyone else), but is broken due to the goddesses involved not expecting anyone to ever keep it.
* ''I Made a Slave Harem Using a Charm Cheat in a Different World:'' Miura Ryouta has "Absolute Charm" allowing him to make any women fall in ''lust'' with him.
* ''Instant Death:'' Yogiri Takatou can induce [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Instant Death]]. Partially subverted [[spoiler:because it is revealed that he had already that power in his original world (which is apparently Earth). He was also hosted - or "contained" - by a sort of Wiki/SCPFoundation.]] However, he is a gentle and very quiet guy. His power does not appear on the "statistics" of the world he was summoned to, so he is seen as easy prey but, whatever tries to kill him dies automatically.
* ''Isekai Cheat Survival Meshi:'' Kazusa Yuu [[CannibalismSuperpower obtains the abilities of monsters he eats]]. He also has a supernatural sense that lets him detect whether something is unsafe to eat.
* ''Kujibiki Tokushou: Musou Haremu ken:'' Yuki Kakeru posses an ability that increases his overall ability and growth rate 777 times.

* ''Living in this World with Cut & Paste: ''Myne possesses Appraisal Complete and Cut & Paste, allowing him to view the skills of others, remove it and add it either to himself or anyone/anything else.
* ''Loner Life in Another World:'' Haruka, an extremely introverted literature nerd, sees the summoning circle under his class and does his best to escape the classroom full of idiots and weirdos before it fires off. This causes him to be late for the summoning, and unfortunately all the bonuses were first come, first serve -- and his classmates took all the cheat abilities! Out of pity, the god gives him all of the remaining bonuses, including a bunch of incredibly weird ones like "Loner" and "Corporate Communications." The catch being that they're ''all'' cheat abilities, even if they're ''weird.''
* ''Modern Weapons Cheat in Another World:'' Nagato Kazuya can summon living soldiers and military vehicles and technology.

* ''Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid:'' Lin Xiao can get stronger and rise in rank through simply ''sleeping''.

* ''Skill Takers World Domination ~ Building a Slave Harem from Scratch:'' Yuuto Konoe's Ability Looting (Skill Taker) allows him to steal the skills of others, born from his martial arts style of copying other style's techniques he practiced in life.

* In ''WesternAnimation/CaptainNTheGameMaster,'' Kevin gains his powers in the form of the [[RayGun Zapper]] and (incorrectly named) Power Pad (an [[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES controller]]). The Zapper was his primary offense, while the controller had movement options: Left or Right on the D-Pad let him FlashStep in that direction, the buttons let him [[InASingleBound super jump]], and the Select button (again, incorrectly) let him [[TimeStandsStill Pause the world]] for a time.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Centaurworld}} '' is about an ordinary war horse from a DarkFantasy world getting transported to a SugarBowl world populated by centaurs. Her bonus is that upon arrival she discovers she can now talk. She is at a disadvantage because she can't do magic like the centaurs can, at least at first, but she makes up for this with her courage and knowledge of war, which are things the centaurs lack. [[spoiler:This ends up being why she decides to stay in Centaurworld at the end of the first season, so that she can help prepare Centaurworld for war with the Nowhere King.]]. During the second season she finds out that she has the ability to use a very rare form of magic that lets her jump into people's minds, which also leaves them paralyzed while she is inside them.

* In ''Chillin' in Another World with Level 2 Super Cheat Powers'', the protagonist Fulio is summoned to another world to help fight the demon king's army, but although the gods are supposed to grant divine blessings to summoned heroes to help them survive in their new world, he doesn't seem to have any special powers. Due to a mistake on the part of the kingdom that summoned him, he also can't return to his original world, so the king gives him a plot of land, house, money, and various supplies. When Fulio arrives at his new property, it turns out to be far from any other humans, right on the edge of a dangerous forest separating the human kingdom from the demon lands. It also turns out the magic bag he was given has a curse on it that attracts monsters, and his weapons are defective. Despite that, he manages to defeat a slime that suddenly attacked him, and when he reaches level 2, he inexplicably gains numerous powerful skills and incredible magic. Through his new abilities, he learns about the aforementioned curse on his bag and manages to remove it. He also learns that the nearby forest is polluted with a demonic miasma that's dangerous to humans, so he uses purification magic that ends up purifying the entire forest, causing him to reach level 367 because he accidentally annihilated every demon in the forest, including a substantial portion of the demon king's army. As the series goes on, the protagonist learns to control his magic better, and also learns new magic whenever it's used against him. It's eventually revealed that [[spoiler:the gods messed up and gave the protagonist two different blessings meant for two summoned heroes, and these two blessings synergized in a really troublesome way. The goddess who oversees this world actually intervenes to stop Fulio from using forbidden time magic to save the life of a friend who's too badly injured to be saved with regular healing magic... and Fulio finds a way to block the goddess's interference so he can do it anyway.]]

* ''Fanfic/FateRevelationOnline'': The canon example is subverted; quite a lot of the beta testers got themselves killed trying to speedrun the early parts of the game, only to stumble upon the bizarre rules of the [Thaumaturgy Patch] that Kayaba added on official launch. However, since the in-game magic system is based on the ''real'' magecraft that secretly exists in the outside world, the few real mages quickly rush to the front of the pack with the skills and knowledge. Ilya ends up leading dozens of players to activating their magic circuits and teaching them basic spells, Shirou's sword skills and experience in the Holy Grail War render him the strongest player in the game, and Grimlock's traditional magus training makes him excellent at both crafting magic items and solving quest puzzles.

* ''Anime/{{Mar}}'': The protagonist Ginta was nearsighted and not athletic in his old world. When he is summoned to another world he has SuperStrength and perfect eyesight. The explanation for this is that the New World has lower gravity, which actually does not explain it at all. However he does not have any magical power at all until he starts training, though this was an advantage because it allowed him to obtain Babbo, who was sealed in a chest that could only be opened by somebody with no magical power.

** Ginta's father also went though the same thing as his son later would and became the good guy's champion before he died in battle.

* ''Manga/JigokuNoGoukaDeYakaReTsuzuketaShounen'':After coming BackFromTheDead from his trip to Hell, Flare discovers that the flames of Hell have been concentrated within his body. These flames are so hot that they can instantly liquefy metal and reduce underbrush to ash. In addition, his new body is even stronger than his original CharlesAtlasSuperpower, making him a LightningBruiser who can go toe-to-toe even with the angels that have a stranglehold on humanity.

* ''Literature/CampfireCookingInAnotherWorldWithMyAbsurdSkill'': After accidentally getting summoned to a medieval fantasy world, Tsuyoshi Mukouda can utilize a special skill called "Online Supermarket", which allows him to use the new world's money to order ingredients from his home world. Eating food containing these Earth ingredients gives temporary but substantial status buffs. He also has a rare appraisal skill and item box skill that lets him store more than he could carry normally. Although he doesn't have any combat abilities, the smell of his [[SupremeChef campfire cooking]] attracts a legendary giant wolf monster strong enough to lay waste to an entire army, which insists upon becoming Mukouda's familiar in exchange for three meals a day. Later on, Mukouda learns he can get divine blessings for himself and his traveling companions by bribing gods and goddesses with offerings from his home world, like booze, candy, snacks, and bath products.

* The protagonist has the ability to create potions with any effect she can think of, an ability she munchkins ruthlessly. The ability also lets her instantly create potion containers, which she later realizes allows her to conjure up just about anything (expensive jewelry, unbreakable swords, and even a chariot) so long as it contains a compartment holding a potion.

* In ''I Will Survive Using Potions'', the protagonist has the ability to create potions with any effect she can think of, an ability she munchkins ruthlessly. The ability also lets her instantly create potion containers, which she later realizes allows her to conjure up just about anything (expensive jewelry, unbreakable swords, and even a chariot) so long as it contains a compartment holding a potion.

* Manga/IGotANewSkillEveryTimeIWasExiledAndAfter100DifferentWorldsIWasUnmatched, is a bit of a subversion. The protagonist, Ed, gets a new skill after he returns from each world that he's been to.
