Adventure Academy

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! *** Temporary cover created with PixAI

Howling in the Dark, Part 1

I stepped through the dungeon's secret entrance with giant dollar signs proverbially flashing in my eyes. How could I not feel giddy when Divah's guide sent me right into a cave filled with shiny blue gems that I knew would sell for at least fifty silver sceattas a piece on the open market? 

"Baldr's balls, are these all hamingems?" I wondered. 

According to the item guide of Divah's journal, 'hamingems' were crystalized essence of a hamingja, which the old Norse Earthers believed was a female guardian spirit that accompanied a human while deciding their luck and happiness. In truth, a hamingja was the personification of good fortune that one could pass on to others through the cultivation of its crystalized form, a hamingem.

These shiny blue gems were growing all over the cave's walls, leaving me to wonder just whose good luck was being cultivated here and by whom. 

"I can figure that out after I've plundered a few hamingems," I grinned.
