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!

*** Aside from daily chapter releases, I will release extra chapters every Sunday depending on power stones earned during the same week. 200 stones = 1 additional chapter!

Adventure Academy

Note: I edited the previous chapter, so I recommend a reread. Changed the prose so that the fight in the air and the explosion scenes are better written. Moved the catching scene here.

Also, a HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all!

Like a bird of prey, I dove for my target with gusto. It didn't even matter to me that the ground was getting closer. My focus remained fixed on Gungnir's broken shaft.

Suddenly, heat pressed against my back, and my werewolf sense drove me to barrel-roll out of the way of the column of emerald fire rushing toward me. I managed to dodge it, which was great because my clothes were burnt enough. Hel, the flames that still stuck to my robe were licking at my exposed skin now too. I was just lucky that my fire resistance was strong enough to keep me from getting burned.

I was so close now that I needed only to stretch my arm toward the tip of Gungnir's broken shaft.
