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 04/11/23 - this chapter. Changed the apple scene, and fixed the hag scenes.

Despite our seven-day boon from the system, the lack of spoils or corpses for farming monster byproducts became a trend with every monster encounter inside this cursed castle.

"Seriously?!" I wrung my hands at the air after the ridiculously huge vampire bat we'd slain vanished in a shower of wispy red vapors. "Why are you bastards so stingy?!"

The cow-sized monstrosity had been harassing the brothers Grimm and Azalea, our pink-haired healer, in an adjoining hall to the room where we'd reunited with red-skinned Morph and cloud-haired Brunhilde. The brothers were fending the beast off when Saga and I walked right into them, and with our reunion came a lot of rhyming and slaying.

"Don't sweat it, Will, there'll be another opportunity," Helm Grimm promised.
