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 - 07/11/2023. Changed much of the chapter, including the ending scenes. Made it edgier but fixed Will's reactions to fit his personality more.

"Impressive speed, William," said Malegant Troyes in a voice without an ounce of fear in it. "Such speed…you've never shown this in class before."

In a flash, I had arrived at his back, with tachyons trailing behind me like ribbons of lightning snapping across the floor.

I sent Hrunting's blade swinging toward his neck.

"Yet!" I grinned, but then, "What the vargr?!"

The rapier I'd sent flying away returned to parry my slash, but there was no hand wielding it. Instead, while the floating rapier kept my sword busy, Malegant's other hand cut into my side with nails as sharp as his fangs. It was an attack that would've disemboweled me if my new robe's armor rating wasn't so high.

"Even your equipment is impressive," Malegant chuckled.
