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!

As realization dawned on me, my eyes widened to the size of saucers. 


"Seriously… you've survived a dungeon break before!?"


Okay, my surprise was valid, because, from what I knew of realmsverse history, monster hordes weren't exclusive to dungeon breaks. Sometimes a charismatic being like a vampire noble or greater demon would pop up in some realm and rally monsters to their banner to create a horde big enough to threaten the whole realmsverse. Whenever this happened, the Congress of Realms would call for a 'crusade' to destroy the horde. Such events were rarer than a dungeon break for sure, but a crusade was far more plausible for me as the last one happened less than twenty years ago. 


"You're a bright boy, Mr. Wisdom." Mistress Lorelai patted me on the shoulder. "I hope you survive tonight so that you may grow to outshine even the dragoness."
