The series focuses on the central protagonist Rudeus Greyrat, originally from Earth as an unnamed 34-year-old Japanese NEET. After being evicted from his home following his parents’ death, he skips the funeral and concludes that his life was ultimately pointless. However, he intercepts a speeding truck in order to save the lives of a group of teenagers, pulling one of them out of harm’s way before dying.

He’s then reborn in a world of sword and sorcery in the body of a baby, eventually realizing his new identity to be Rudeus Greyrat. Being highly skilled at magic from a young age, Rudes promises not to waste his new opportunity at life, set to imminently begin.
