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!

Yep, I had broken another rule of mine. I touched a powerful magical item without any proper preparation.

Why would I do something so crazy?

It was the easiest way to instigate my death without me having to wield Hrunting against myself. I mean, seppuku sounded extremely agonizing. However, it was debatable if slicing my stomach open with a blade was more painful than the pain I was feeling right now.

To explain the sensation of having my life sucked out of me by Gleipnir's chain would do it no justice. Just imagine the worst pain you'd ever felt and then multiply that by ten. That might be a fraction of what I was currently experiencing.

Sadly, I wasn't allowed to give in and lose my mind to the pain. I had to grit my teeth and endure this heart-crushing agony of death's touch on my flesh while burying myself in the task at hand.
