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!

It looked like an eye with its tip pointed at the ground. It was glowing fiercely now, its green tinge seemingly like an elder jotun's iris gazing out at me from a hole in the realmsverse. Dark green tendrils flowed out of it to spread across the air like cracks along a mirrored surface.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Circe called from her spot underneath the now-growing fissure. The völva was smiling at us as if we'd done her a favor. "Honestly, I thought you'd have a tougher time slaying Beowulf, but I see I needn't have worried."

"You always were an overachiever, William," she said.

Okay, her calling my name in such a familiar way was creeping me the F out, but it's not like I could ask her about it with all these ears listening in on what could potentially be the kind of news I wanted to remain solely with me, myself, and I.
