Re:ゼロから始める異世界生活
Subaru Natsuki is abruptly transported to a fantasy world while returning from a convenience store. Expecting to become a powerful hero, he quickly discovers he possesses no special abilities at all. His only power is "Return by Death," a mysterious curse that rewinds time to a previous point whenever he dies.
After being saved from thugs by a silver-haired half-elf named Satella, Subaru tries to help her recover a stolen insignia. Their search leads them to a loot shop, where they are brutally murdered by an assassin. Subaru then wakes up earlier in the day, alive and with the memory of his death.
Determined to protect Satella and prevent their tragic fate, Subaru must navigate a world of political intrigue, deadly cults, and terrifying creatures. Each death brings new pain and knowledge, but also pushes his mind and spirit to the brink as he desperately seeks a future where everyone survives.
