The story revolves around Subaru Natsuki, an ordinary Japanese teenager who is suddenly transported to another world after a shopping trip. In this new world, he discovers that he has a unique ability: “Return by Death.”

Whenever he dies, he is resurrected at a previous save point, allowing him to try different approaches to overcome challenges. However, this ability comes with a heavy emotional toll as he experiences repeated deaths and failures.

As Subaru navigates this unfamiliar world, he encounters a half-elf named Emilia and vows to protect her. Together, they face numerous dangers and uncover the mysteries surrounding the world they now inhabit.
