Re: Zero - Starting Life in Another World ( Japanese Re: ゼ ロ か ら 始 め る 異 世界 生活 , Re: Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu , German: “Re: Life in another world from zero”), with the alternative English sub-title Re: Life in a different world from Zero , is a Japanese novel series by Tappei Nagatsuki. The web novel was adapted as a light novel series with illustrations by Shin'ichirō Ōtsuka, as well as three manga implementations . An anime version by the Japanese animation studio White Fox started on April 4, 2016.
action
The story is about Natsuki Subaru, a NEET who suddenly finds himself in a parallel world in the evening after buying some groceries. After initial confusion, he is saved from a group of thugs by a silver-haired half-elf who introduces herself to him as Satella. He stays close to her as he wants to help her find her locket, which was stolen from her recently and is very valuable to her. After a while they find the thief's hiding place in the city's slums . Subaru enters the thief's house, but finds only a man's body covered in blood. Thereupon he is fatally injured by an unknown woman. Satella, who has been waiting outside so far, is suspicious of the noises and also enters the house, whereupon she too is killed by the woman. With his last breaths, Subaru promises to save Satella. The next moment, Subaru finds himself in broad daylight in front of the same greengrocer he asked some things about after his arrival in the world. Subaru is confused, but assumes his death was a daydream and therefore only his imagination. He goes in search of Satella and her locket. So he goes back to the slum and finds the landlord, Rome, whom he saw dead before, alive again. In conversation with him, Subaru finds out that the thief, Felt, has to arrive soon and he can buy the locket from her. However, another party is also interested in the badge, which is represented by a woman and introduces itself as Elsa. Elsa offers a large sum for the medallion, but Subaru wins the negotiation by offering his cell phone, technology that doesn't exist in this world. Elsa collapses, but asks him what he plans to do with the medallion, whereupon he replies that he would like to find the owner (i.e. Satella) and give it back to her. Then the mood turns: Elsa attacks Subaru and a fight breaks out. In the course of this, Rome, Felt and Subaru die, as Elsa proves to be extremely strong. The next moment Subaru finds himself in front of the greengrocer again and passes out. When he wakes up he sees Satella walking in the street and calls for her. "Satella" turns around, but is angry that he calls her the name of the evil envy witch and apparently doesn't know Subaru.
Subaru later finds out that he has the ability to undo his death and thus rewind time. However, the problem is that he cannot determine the point in time at which he wakes up, but that it is determined at random. Furthermore, no one remembers what happened before his death except himself. Nor can he tell anyone about his ability, because when he tries, time seems to stand still and threatening arms of miasma appear, giving the impression that if he continues to speak, they want to kill him.
