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!

Note: First, I'd like to apologize for the delayed posting. I took a much-needed break from writing last weekend. I'm back now and raring to write. I'll have an updated posting schedule for new chapters in a later posting.

This chapter was edited on 04/03/24. Enjoy!

My first steps into Niðavellir were like spelunking into a cave after falling from a rainbow. Literally.

"Wow…" I whistled. "Delphine wasn't kidding when she said Niðavellir was a sight to see."

I stood at the edge of a wide stone bridge that stretched over a great chasm to reach a canyon wall nearly as tall as the Empire State Building in New York. Although this was probably an illusion brought about by my eyes adjusting to the darkness.

"Did we have to land this far away though?" I asked.

Beside me, Caelestis answered, "The dwarves don't like it when guests arrive too close to their city gates."

I glanced sideways at my companion.
