Explore the realmsverse, battle monsters of myth and legend, die trying... and then come back to life stronger with the advantage of hindsight! Rinse and repeat.

Death holds no power over Will Wisdom, a boy who’d once been sacrificed to the altar of the gods of death only to reincarnate moments later. Will’s a teenager stuck with Extra-Life, a curse that lets him relive the same day of every death with all the gruesome details of his latest demise intact to help him survive in his next run of whatever realm, dungeon, or adventuring class he’s decided to challenge next.

Returning to life after each harrowing encounter is a useful hack for a teenager enrolled in the legendary Academy, a school that teaches young adventurers to become the kind of heroes who chase after the big monster bounties and uncover the great mysteries of the Realmsverse. Mysteries such as finding the cult of evil ljósálfar who’d cursed Will with Extra-Life in the first place, and then exacting his revenge on these bright elf bastards! 

The Academy is the perfect place for Will to achieve his hopes and dreams too. Assuming he does well in Swords and Sorcery, Apprentice Alchemy, Dungeon Excursions, P.E., and a whole host of crazy training courses in his novice schedule. Will may need a little help with that. 

Welcome to the Academy, Will Wisdom—hope you live to see graduation day!

*** Aside from daily chapter releases, I will release extra chapters every Sunday depending on power stones earned during the same week. 200 stones = 1 additional chapter!

My imminent demise was at hand—a plunge down to hard earth from over forty feet in the air. I'd missed the giant target that was the maenad queen's head by just a few inches, and yet those inches felt like a mile-long stretch. 


Anyone else would have been scared to death at the possibility of dying from such a foolish mistake, but I was more embarrassed really. Not only did I fail myself for the second time this night, but the raid group would watch from below as I plummeted to zero health. It was an epic failure. 


'No!' My brain screamed. 'I will not die twice over this freaking queen that Divah could've killed in her sleep!'


Inspired by desperation, I kicked out against the air with what little mana remained to me and turned the not-so-Volcanic Step's weaker non-lava flame into a thruster that shoved me sideward.
