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!

Standing before our raid party was a large round marble fountain surrounded by its very own iron fencing as if whoever designed it had predicted that the cemetery would one day be invaded by supernatural forces. It was typical in its design—the usual tiered basin with angel and dove motif—except for the familiar carving etched on the fountain's tower just above where the water filled the first basin. This carving was noticeable not just because it didn't quite fit the rest of the iconography of the fountain, but also because I was very familiar with the three interlocking triangles arranged to form a much larger triangle.

I glanced conspiratorially in Liara's direction, and the she-elf who'd been with me on my first escapade inside the Academy's halls couldn't help grinning back at me.
