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!

"Are ye good, Mr. Wisdom?" Lieutenant Doyle asked, drawing me out of my stupor.

I wasn't sure how long I'd been out of it, but I needed another moment for my brain to reboot so I could respond to the LEPRCON agent's question. "Y-yeah…just tired, I guess."

In truth, I was far from good. The moon was just at half-strength, but I could still feel my body reacting to it. I did my best not to let its influence cloud my mind though, as I had an important revenge plot waiting to be revealed.

"Ye were telling me what sort of information ye wanted to sell," Lieutenant Doyle prompted.

"Right-right." I rubbed at my temples. "I wanted to sell…information."

It took another moment, but I eventually got that information out of the fog still clinging to my mind.
