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: I edited this chapter on 18/02/24. Changed a lot of the conversation between Faustus and Will. Also, I edited the previous chapter on 17/02/24. I recommend a reread if you didn't see the changes to its latter half.

I also changed the title of both chapters. Will use the previous title for the next chapter.

Much later—after my Changeling Blade had absorbed Liara's spell-saber, Dess had completed her attunement of the White Lantern, and I finished concocting the potion I had planned to make—invisible me snuck into the back room behind Seidr Longhouse's Alchemy Laboratory 2. The one that novices before my time had dubbed the 'Lair of the Mad Draugr'.

I know, it was a name worthy of a high-tier dungeon. I should have known to take heed.

But being completely invisible to mortal eyes was a new experience for me, and I was reveling in the feeling of it. So, I may have pushed caution out the door as I pushed my way into Doctor Faustus' office.
