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!

[CONGRATULATIONS! The urgent quest [Free Grendel!] has been completed!]

There was this old TV show in Earth realm's nineties era about a Scottish immortal cutting off the heads of other immortals to become stronger. Each time he decapitated the campy bad guys, a seriously groovy visual effect scene would play. The clouds would come rolling in, lightning would flash from above, and then something like ghostly essence and electricity would rise out of the dead villain's corpse and flow into the hero's body.

Yeah, I know, it did sound extra groovy. Also, I mentioned this old TV show Divah and I used to binge because it was a perfect visual reference for what was happening right now.

As soon as I decapitated Grendel, an energy field different from the magical sparks of Divah's hideout surged out of the monster's corpse and blew me away. I would've splashed back into the Örmt if Liara hadn't caught me.
