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 - 22/09/23 Changed the title of this chapter and the previous one. Tricking the Trickster will be the title of the next chapter instead. Also fixed grammar issues, edited dialogue, and updated the prose. Enjoy.

A thrill ran through me at seeing this discovery. I just wasn't sure if it was a good thrill or the warning sort of tingle I got when shit was about to hit the fan.

The two snakes circling each other forming an S-like pattern with each snake biting the tail of the other was one of the most famous symbols in the realmsverse. Topped only by the valknut that only Divah and I knew how to wield correctly, and the hammer that symbolized the most famous god among the Aesir. Ironically, the twin snakes stood for the aforementioned thunder god's adopted brother, the 'Serpent One Cannot Trust,' the 'Unmentionable One,' the 'Father of Tricks,' the 'King of Lies,' the 'God of Mischief,' and a bunch of other titles I dared not mention.
