Lives are a currency, and Noah Vines is rich. After standing around in the afterlife for thousands of years, Noah is all out of patience. So, when the opportunity to steal a second chance at life arises, he doesn't hesitate. Reincarnated into the body of a dying magic school professor, Noah finds that he got more than just a second chance—he got infinite. Every time he dies, his body reforms. With countless variations of runic magic to discover and with death serving as only a painful soul-wound rather than a final end, Noah finally has a chance to wander the lands of the living once more. This time around, he plans to get strong enough to make sure that he never has to wait around in the afterlife again.

Actus
Author · 26 books

Actus has been writing fantasy stories since the age of twelve, and he's been telling them since he could talk. He's currently working on three main series - Morcster Chef, Steamforged Sorcery, and My Best Friend is an Eldritch Horror. You can find his works on RoyalRoad & Patreon as well as on Amazon. In addition to his passion for writing, Actus is capable of clearing a two story building with a single jump. That isn't true, but writing about himself in third person gives Actus delusions of grandeur.
