A man once lived a peaceful life. He went to school, did his chores, and read in his spare time. So peaceful was his life that he didn't even notice it end until he woke up in another world, in a new body.

Luckily for him, the man knew the world, knew who the new body belonged to, and knew the future. Or so he thought.

As the man - now woman - explores the world he learns that while the world is familiar, it is also distinctly different. The villains can't be swept away with the power of friendship, traumatic childhoods can't be resolved by a simple conversation, and entire continents simply aren't there.

After all, Fairy Tail never did truly explore a world where dragons once ruled and men can level mountains.

Hey all! Couple notes from the author here:

1. The story is a self-insert into Juvia from Fairy Tail immediately after the Phantom Lord arc.

2. You don't need to have watched/read Fairy Tail to enjoy this, but it may help. This is an AU and while a lot of canon events will still happen, they'll happen mostly off screen and most of the story will be of my own creation.

3. The synopsis is pretty melodramatic and the story will likely be nowhere near that dark. If you can write a good synopsis (or even have suggestions) please let me know, I'd really appreciate it.

4. I love magic. A lot. There will be a lot of magic here, and mostly not of the big explody kind. Wizard is my favorite D&D class and the MC's use of her powers will reflect that (as in her approach to it will be more academic than martial, there aren't any spell slots to be found here).

5. English is my first language and I try to hold my story to at least that standard. If you notice any typos or grammar errors in the story, feel free to shame me for them.
