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!

I ducked in time to escape the bronze blade sent my way by the murderous-looking automaton bearing down on me. Staring up at its steam-punk body—metal knobs, screws, and all manner of pipes wrapped around a blackened doll of gnarly wood—I couldn't imagine this robot of death was the easy level of the Chamber of Dangers' training system.

"Is this truly training or some sadist's playhouse?!" Talia yelled from somewhere in the rear.

"Stop talking and keep running!" Liara ordered.

Yep, finding ourselves in the thick of danger had pushed back the angsty teenager my fiancé had become since she'd turned into a vampire—which I now realize must come with the territory—and Liara was all business again, leading us through the many dangers growing around us.
