On his way back from a nearby convenience store, Subaru Natsuki is suddenly stranded in a foreign city. He finds himself surrounded by unfamiliar faces speaking a foreign tongue, realizing he has been transported to an entirely different world. Unfortunately, the shopkeeper throws him out for being insolvent, leaving him hopeless and immediately encircled by a gang of ruffians. However, just when he believes there is no escape, a mysterious young lady named Satella comes to his aid. She's on the hunt for a burglar that Subaru had seen earlier. After Satella wards off the aggressors, Subaru pledges to help her in her quest to capture the thief. After a few bizarre events, the pair ends up in an underground cellar where stolen goods are kept. When they infiltrate the cellar, they are unexpectedly attacked by a shadowy assailant resulting in both of them receiving fatal injuries. Subaru awakens to find himself transported back in time to the morning of that same day and begins a complex cycle where he relives past experiences.
Upon awakening, Subaru Natsuki finds himself in an unfamiliar room with Rem and Ram standing before him. Despite feeling disoriented, Subaru wastes no time in playfully jabbing at the sisters over their unique communication style. However, Emilia interrupts before he can make much headway in that regard, thanking him for repeatedly sacrificing himself to save her from Elsa Granhiert's wrath. After explaining that she brought him to her residence due to his injuries, Emilia introduces Subaru to Roswaal L. Mathers, the hooded figure who owns the mansion. During breakfast, Subaru expresses his desire to serve as a butler alongside Rem and Ram, and Roswaal quickly grants his wish. Despite initially adapting well to this new role, Subaru ultimately finds himself back at the mansion with no memory of the past few days. Troubled by this, he suspects that his "Return By Death" ability might be a factor but can't say for sure. Will Subaru unlock the secrets of his power and uncover the truth behind his deaths, or will he remain lost in the enigma?
