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!

Adventure Academy

Mistress Lorelai had given a harsh assessment, but, as I glanced over my shoulder and saw the ongoing chaos behind me, I knew that our dökkálfar instructor was probably right. No one else would make it to the rear gate because the path to get here was already blocked by a horde of monsters that was slowly making its way to us. 


"Aye, mum," Lieutenant Doyle saluted her. 


He raised a flare gun upward and then pulled its trigger. Then, moments after a four-leaf clover flashed in the night sky, a second and then a third clover appeared to illuminate the heavens. These other signals had come from deep within the base camp. 


"There are still LEPRCON agents in there," I realized. 


"Aye, laddie," Lieutenant Doyle gave me a grim expression, "so, we best make sure they don't die in vain." 


"Let's go, novices," Mistress Lorelai ordered. "We'll mourn our dead later and sing praises to the valkyries. For now, this funeral pyre will have to do."
