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!

Note: Edited - 15/09/23; Changed the entire last third of the chapter. It raises the stakes by a lot while also refreshing an old bit of lore regarding Gleipnir and Fenrir. I moved Circe's part to the next chapter. More fitting over there. Enjoy!

A brief delusion of grandeur—achieving what no one before me has ever done—gripped me tight. It might have choked me into submission, driving me to willingly do what Fenrisúlfr wanted, if I didn't suddenly feel a cool minty touch spread through my hand to stretch across my arm and send invigorating vibes throughout my body—and with that refreshing feeling came clarity.

I glanced sideways at Liara, a grin flashing on my face. "Neat trick."

"You looked like you might need a 'Cool Head' for a change," she replied, smiling back.
