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!

With my stealth settings dialed up to the max, it was very easy to remain hidden. And, as I walked in shadow, I recalled the time Divah had taught me my first lesson in the art of deception.


"Obscure your face with a hood or a cap to make it easier to blend into the shadows," Divah had whispered into thirteen-year-old me's ears. "Don't forget your prayer to the Night Mother. Trust in her, and she will keep you hidden for as long as you stay away from sources of light." 


"What if it's daytime?" I was such a ginormous smart-ass back then. "The Night Mother can't help me in the daytime, can she?" 


"There are ways to divert attention even in the daytime, kiddo," she'd answered knowingly. "Blending into a crowd to hide in plain sight or take to the roofs where people rarely look. That's how you keep hidden during the day."
