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!

Edited: Minor edits, but I also changed the riddle at the end.

With this surprising evolution of my curse came an equally surprising notification about my future as a werewolf.

[ALERT! A rare strain of lycanthropy has been born inside of you, unlocking a divergent path that may put you at odds with the other members of your wolf pack.]

I figured there were a variety of werewolf strains just like there was a whole slew of vampire subspecies like strigoi, Carpathians, aswang, and the Atlantean empousa spread throughout the realmsverse. The patchwork wolf, the classic wolfman, and the wilder-looking bipedal werewolf were examples of such strains. There was also the demon wolf, which I thought might not just be one of Fenrisúlfr's titles.

If the bloodstained wolf was a rare strain of lycanthropy, then the demon wolf must at least be a legendary tier strain. One of a kind too by the looks of it.
