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!

A while after our conversation with Grandmaster Dwalinn, I found myself staring at the edge of a cliff by the far south end of the campus while wondering if I should've taken a nap first before accepting the Grandmaster's quest.

Above us, the stars wheeled overhead, twinkling around the silhouette of Yggdrasil that was barely visible against an inky black backdrop.

"Off on another crazy adventure," I added.

Liara stepped over to my right side. "After the day we've been through, you'd think we would get a break once in a while."

"Fat chance of that happening," I chuckled. "The Norns are all about the drama. They'd never settle for a slow day. At least not when it comes to my life."

"High-octane action twenty-four-seven or over-the-top family drama?" Liara guessed.
