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 the patchwork wolves falling into our hastily-erected shield wall, one might imagine that we were in deep trouble. But, with Mistress Lorelai and Red Beard leading the charge, the opening salvo to this second act of the battle mostly went in our favor.

It wasn't just because the blessed fire kept the other monsters—those pesky ogres and trolls and whatnot—at bay, but also because I'd properly clued in my fellow novices about what to expect when fighting these patchwork wolves.

"Be prepared to block their Helfire breaths!" Helm Grimm yelled to our tanks.

"Do it right and you'll prevent all our deaths!" Koby Grimm added.

"Hard to kill while also wielding Helfire breath?" Red Beard chuckled. "You've brought me some nasty fuckers to play with haven't you, Will?"

"I call them Patchwork Wolves…" I glanced sideways at Mistress Lorelai. "I get to name any monster I encounter first before anyone else, right?"
