* ''Comicbook/CaptainAtom'' was killed at the end of the "Public Enemies" arc of ''Comicbook/SupermanBatman'' via nuclear explosion, and reformed himself in the Comicbook/{{Wildstorm}} universe, which lead to the events of ''Captain Atom: Armageddon''.

* In ''Literature/ASymphonyofEternity'' Is heavily implied that one of it's main protagonists Admiral Metternich travels between worlds each time he goes to sleep.

* In ''Anime/YuYuHakusho'' this is Kurama's backstory. He was once a legendary bandit fox demon but was severely injured. His soul then went to the human world where he became human. Now he's a SignifigantGreenEyedRedhead character.

The series starts off with a character (usually TheProtagonist) living in a perfectly normal world. Perhaps the character doesn't like how life goes for them, or they find their world to be boring. Or maybe they mind at all. But then, a fatal incident (usually related to a vehicle) ends up killing the character. Then they find themself in another world (usually) with a new, younger body. Perhaps there's a huge difference compared to their origin world, like magic. Or perhaps it's nearly identical to the origin world, but with some minor differences. Usually, the character still has memories from the origin world intact.

* ''LightNovel/KonoSubarashiiSekainiShukufukuO!'' is a parody of this trope, right down to parodying the Mushoku Tensei above. The protagonist, Kazuma meets an embarrassing demise from saving a girl from a farm tractor that he thought it was a truck and dies out of shock. Kazuma gets a choice to go to heaven or be reincarnated in a world with his current body, which he choose the latter [[LoopholeAbuse along with Aqua]]. In addition, he's not the only one to be reincarnated in that world.

* ''LightNovel/MushokuTensei'' starts off with an {{Otaku}} got thrown out on the street by his sibling. He then witnesses three teenagers are about to be run down by a truck. He successfully saved them, but at the cost of his life. He then reincarnates in a high fantasy world as Rudeus Grayant.

* ''LightNovel/YoujoSenki'' deconstructs the usual stereotypes of this trope. Rather then being a luckless 20 something Hikkimori with a good heart deep inside in order to save the world, the one who's being reincarnated is a ''Japanese Salaryman'' who favors efficiency above all else, heartlessly fires people...and gets pushed into a train by one of those people for his troubles. Reincarnating as a ''young girl'' in a magical FantasyCounterpartCulture of early 1920's Europe was supposed to be a punishment by Being X for not only being a bastard, but also ''mouthing off God''. You expect him to wise up and become good in the CrapsackWorld? Nope, ''Tanya is a horrible monster on the battlefield'' and set up the indirect deaths of two noblemen for not following orders and mouthing off to her. On top of this, she does everything she can to get out of the frontlines...Only to be sent to the frontlines because of her ideas.

* ''LightNovel/ReZero'' is also a darker take of the trope, coming off the heels of the wave of reincarnation stories that flooded the 2000s and New Tens. Subaru certainly starts out as the young, down on his luck {{NEET}} that floods the trope, but he quickly learns that the world he's been sent into isn't as forgiving as most fantasy lands, and that whatever respect and strength he gets from that world, he has to ''earn'', because his only cheat is coming back from the dead at random intervals.

* In the final few episodes of ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist'' [[spoiler:Edward]] dies and gets sent across the Gate [[spoiler:into 'our' Earth in the 1930s.]] He gets transported into the body [[spoiler:of his Earth counterpart]] and only is able to go back when he accidentally dies.
* In ''Anime/VisionOfEscaflowne'', BigBad Emperor Dornkirk was originally a man from Earth (heavily implied to be [[spoiler: [[BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy Sir Isaac Newton]]]]) who, upon apparently dying on Earth, awoke to find himself healthy (if still quite elderly) on Gaea.

* ''ComicBook/{{Shakara}}'': After Shakara defeats the BigBad once and for all in a HeroicSacrifice, in the last panels an alien ship crashes down on a planet in another reality where a yellow Shakara emerges from the ashes.

* In ''[[Literature/JohnCarterOfMars Master-Mind of Mars]]'', Ulysses S. Paxton ends up on Mars after dying in the trenches in UsefulNotes/WorldWarI.

Most series used it as a premise, and it happens to be increasingly common for LightNovels and [[AnimeAndManga Manga]] in the mid-2010s.

* ''Literature/PrinceOnAWhiteHorse'' is about a KnightInShiningArmor on a QuestForIdentity; he can't remember his past before the opening scene of the novel. In the end, he regains his memories and learns that he is an example of this trope, having lived a full life in our world before dying and being reincarnated as the knight.

Subtrope of {{Reincarnation}}. See also BornAgainImmortality, though most work just focus on one alternate world instead of multiple worlds.

Compare and Contrast to TrappedInAnotherWorld, the biggest differences is there's no way for the protagonist to go back into his origin world. Though the protagonist usually doesn't mind that much.
