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 - 11/17/23. I changed much of the chapter, including Will's encounter with the phantom. I opted for a funny reaction rather than the cringy p______ scene I wrote first.

"I sense great evil beyond these doors," Malegant warned.

Funny that he should say this when the great evil I'd encountered inside Vlad's treasure room was named Malegant Troyes.

Even now, as I glanced sideways at my sword instructor, I couldn't unsee the monster he'd become. The same deviant who had ripped off one of Draken Darkholm's arms and had drunk Lieutenant Doyle dry right in front of my eyes.

My hands balled into fists. I couldn't help it. The sights of death and carnage were flashing in my mind now that I was a step away from the scene of the crime.

"It's okay." Liara's hand enveloped mine. "It won't be like last time."
