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 the previous chapter. Added new dialogue, fixed the prose, and made the ending more dramatic. I also changed the title.

"How are you feeling, Dess?" I asked.

The blue-winged fairy in her bright gold breastplate was waiting alongside me with her round golden shield and gold-tipped spear at the ready.

"My head is still ringing," she admitted.

Dess, along with six others in my raid party had been forced into a magically induced sleep by the vampire harlequinns of the Night Circus who'd drugged them with raw fairy dust blown right in their faces. It was only after they'd woken up inside the safety of the Borgo Way that we learned that what should have been a fun romp in La-la-land was actually a drug-fueled nightmare of blood and fangs that made even a brave kid like Dess look like she'd flinch at every shadow in sight.

"Let's just be thankful your head's the only thing that's hurting," Liara chimed in.
