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 I took that first step toward town, Liara grabbed my arm and twirled me around so that we were face to face, with our noses nearly touching. 


"Hold on, Wisdom!" Icy gray eyes stared at me with a mixture of confusion and suspicion. "What bad thing is about to happen to base camp and how do you know about it?"


I thought it was rich that the she-elf was suspicious of me when she was the half-blood spawn of a racist cultist who'd participated in at least one instance of mass murder.


I wondered if I could trust Liara with my secret while knowing that she might still choose to join the dark side rather than become my companion, thereby making her my future archnemesis. In the end, I decided that this sort of trust wasn't earned in a week, and the she-elf would have to prove herself many times over before I could even begin to contemplate telling her about Extra Life.
