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!

It was true. I now had the beginnings of a plan forming in my mind. But first, let's organize the facts as I've deduced them.

Liara was fact number one. Meaning the she-elf hadn't gone through the same experience I had. She didn't follow Fenrisúlfr back to his prison even though her hand was stuck inside the shadow's mouth. This realization led me to fact number two.

The reason I was taken into Fenrisúlfr's realm must've been because of Gleipnir's chain. The myth-rated item's connection to me—the fact that it was sucking the life out of me while I tried to unbind it—must've been so strong that whatever magic allowed Fenrisúlfr's shadow to cross over into the emerald realm saw me as a part of Gleipnir, and we all knew Fenrisúlfr couldn't go anywhere without Gleipnir. Not even his shadow was free of it.

The third fact was Fenrisúlfr's prison. I was only there briefly but it was enough time to deduce several interesting observations about the place.
