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!

There was a slight problem with my plan. I couldn't find the necessary ingredient I needed to make the plan work.

"Um," I raised my hand, "is there vampire blood available?"

While my question confused his two apprentices, Master Yojimbo's face lit up with interest once more. "A purpose, you have for it?" he asked.

"Vampire blood's a good catalyst for combining two troublesome ingredients," I answered.

I heard the peanut gallery react in surprise after seeing Master Yojimbo flash me a smile. Possibly the first one they'd seen today.

"Knowledge of alchemy, you have," he guessed.

"Experience in one profession will help broaden my understanding of other trades," I repeated the words Divah often told me whenever I complained about learning both alchemy and smithing at the same time.

Master Yojimbo nodded approvingly before instructing one of his apprentices to give me what I asked for.
