Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Short Story Collection is a must-have for fans of the Re:ZERO series who are looking for more fun adventures from the main cast.

“I…want to vanquish that red dragon.” In the dungeon, Iarumas and his party retrieve the remains of a large-framed girl, Berkanan. A novice mage, she ran into a fire dragon, an unexpected presence in the shallow floors of the dungeon, and her party was wiped out. In order to overcome her helplessness, Berkanan resolves to defeat this dragon, but her goal is still a long way off…

Deep in the unexplored reaches of the dungeon, a corpse is discovered—one that shouldn’t exist. After Iarumas is resurrected, his memories of life before death are gone, and he spends his days delving into the dungeon to retrieve the bodies of dead adventurers. Can they be revived as well? Or will God reduce them to piles of ash on the altar? Either way, Iarumas collects his finder’s fee. And though his skills earn him some grudging respect, he’s also scorned for this cold, utilitarian attitude. The living keep their distance—Iarumas consorts primarily with the dead. That is, until he meets Garbage, a feral young swordswoman who’s the sole survivor of a massacred party. With Garbage by his side, Iarumas ventures deeper, scouring the dungeon for clues to his past, avoiding monsters, traps, and the inevitability of a permanent ashen demise.

Blade & Bastard is a dark fantasy series based on the iconic Japanese RPG franchise Wizardry.

“Treasure awaits in a hidden room on the third floor of the dungeon”—so claims a dangerously suspicious rumor. But Iarumas has got nothing better to do, so with Sezmar of the All-Stars in tow, he and his party head toward the mysterious reward. To no one’s surprise, however, they’re greeted by a sudden alarm and a large horde of monsters. And to make matters worse, Garbage falls into a trap! Will she be able to face an army of foes all on her own?!

Working at Roswaal Manor as a humble servant, Subaru thought he had reached a comfortable new life with Emilia, Rem, and Ram. However, his unexpected demise puts that naive illusion to rest. Alive once more, Subaru works to uncover the cause of this latest tragedy, but learning the truth might be a fate worse than death!

After being suddenly summoned to another world, Subaru Natsuki realized he didn't have superhuman strength, no magic, and no special abilities--except for the ability "Return by Death", which brings him to a set point in the past if he dies. He used his ability to help the bewitching Emilia but was injured and brought to her home to recover. Right when Subaru should be receiving his reward for a job well done, he realizes he's never been more threatened before and this time, he has no idea what the danger is.

To save himself from another cycle of death and rebirth, Subaru must confront the beast in the forest. But what will happen to him there when his dear friend Rem snaps?

Having experienced agonizing death numerous times at Roswaal Manor, Subaru seeks to defy his fate once again. Enlisting the help of the diminutive yet powerful Beatrice, Subaru might finally overcome this trial...but success comes at a steep cost. Subaru is faced with a choice--will he live with the burden of regret, or will he take his chances and start over again?

What you forget, I'll always remember.Subaru hasn't known peace since he first came to this world, but after surviving the demon beast attack, he has finally found some respite. Whether it's deepening bonds with the residents of Roswaal Manor, meeting an eccentric world-famous chef, or dressing up as Roswaal himself (?!), Subaru is in for a fun (if exhausting) time. Tragedy takes a break in this final volume of Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-, Chapter 2: A Week at the Mansion!
