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!

The first thing I noticed was how the scent of blood in the air was nearly overpowering. The bodies that littered the ground were a mix of a variety of draugr corpses and the monster residents of Grendel's Grotto that were bigger than the goblins I'd killed on the third floor.

Liara knelt over a draugr's corpse to inspect it. "These wounds… I don't think these were made by the dungeon's traps…"

That was likely true because I didn't think there would be traps inside a chamber that was basically Grendel's living room.

"Why do you say that?" Dess asked as she drew close to the she-elf.

"Take a look here..." Liara pointed a finger at the huge hole in the draugr's chest. "This is a stab wound, but it's unlike the usual spear or spike traps we've seen around the dungeon's passages. This wound looks more like something a sword would make..."
