The kingdom of Fiore. A neutral country with a population of 17 million. It is a world of magic. Magic is bought and sold there like anything else, and is deeply ingrained in the people's lives. There are even some who make a living using magic. These people are refered to as wizards.

These wizards belong to many different guilds and accept jobs brought to them. There are many guilds in this kingdom, and there's a certain wizard guild in a certain town. A guild from which countless legends were once born--nay, one that will continue to create legends well into the future. Its name....Fairy Tail!

~In Magnolia Town~

A single boy was seen sleeping inside of his room. The boy is a short and slim teenage boy with spiky brown hair. He was tossing and turning as he had a uncomfortable look on his face. However, just as he was sleeping, his clock immediately started ringing. Since the clock was near his bed...it wasn't a pleasant feeling.

"I'M AWAKE, I'M AWAKE!!!!!"

The boy fell out of his bed and his body hit the floor with a loud thud. As he looked at the clock, he saw the time that was on it. The clock showed that it was 1:00 pm. First the boy blinked once as he didn't think it was a problem. However...a look of terror slowly crept on his face when he realized something.

"I'M LATE!!!!!"

The boy ran out of his home in a hurry. He had a job at a certain guild that he needed to be present for. Not only that, he knew how his mentor would get everytime he was late. Just the thought of what he would do terrified him. As the boy ran around, he heard the people of Magnolia speaking to him.

"Hey, Homura! Late again I see!"

"That's No Good Homura for ya, try to make it on time!!!!"

"Thanks, i'll try!!!!!"

Homura Sawada. A young boy in a world of magic, who couldn't use magic. He's not that athletic, he's not that powerful, he's not that smart. Though....even he wants to be someone reliable, even if it's only by a small margin.

"Now that I think about it. What's the point in rushing if i'm already late? It's not getting desperate will help me get there any faster. Though...i'd feel pretty bad pushing all my work on Mira."

"You're so hopeless, No Good Homura."

Homura stopped in his tracks as a fear consumed his being. He slowly turned around as he continued to fear for his life. When he completely turned around, his face began to pale as he saw his mentor.

"R-Reborn!!!!!!"

Reborn, Homura's mentor, was standing right before him. Reborn is a small infant with dark eyes. He is slightly tanned with black spiky hair and thin curly sideburns. His main outfit is an all black suit, with a red long-sleeved shirt, a black necktie, and a black fedora with an orange stripe. Leon, his animal partner, is usually seen resting on the brim of his hat.

"Reborn, just hear me ou-"

"Stop wasting time!"

Before Homura could finish his sentence, Reborn kicked the boy in his face, knocking him to the ground. As this happened, Reborn put his hand towards Leon. Seeing this, Leon's body began to change shape. Soon the shape-shifting lizard turned into a gun as Reborn aimed it at Homura.

"Time out!!! Time out!!!! Time out, Reborn!!!!!!"

"If you have time to talk. You have time to do your job."

Soon Reborn loaded the gun with a special bullet that was inside of Leon's body for three days. The Dying Will Bullet. While Homura was pleading for Reborn not to shoot him, Reborn pulled the trigger as the bullet collided with Homura's head. Homura's body was now on the ground, not showing any signs of life at the moment.

"A hitman shouldn't need to beg for anything. Now hurry up, you're already late to work."

".......REBORN!!!!!! I WILL MAKE IT TO THE GUILD WITH MY DYING WILL!!!!!"

Once a Dying Will Bullet is shot at a person, they die. However, if they feel regret when they were shot, they are resurrected with a flame on their forehead. This is known as Dying Will Mode. When someone enters Dying Will Mode, it uses the pressure a person faces during a crisis to externally remove their body limiters, and increase their strength and need to fulfill their Dying Will.

"LETS GO!!!!!!!"

Soon Homura ran through Magnolia in incredible speed as Reborn hopped onto the boy's shoulder. As he was running, Homura ran pass a single girl who looked at him before he vanished from her sight.

"Homura? Looks like he's having fun."

~With Homura~
"I can make it!!!!!!!"

In Homura's sight was a two-story high building. It is located in the southern part of the town not far from the coast, and lies about 4-5 kilometers up the Magnolia central path. This was the only guild here at Magnolia. Not only that, it was deemed as the strongest guild. This guild was known as Fairy Tail!

Soon Homura braced himself as he bursts through the doors. The boy started panting as he was now inside of the guild. While this happened, the flame on his forehead vanished. Soon Reborn jumped off of Homura's shoulder as he lands on the ground.

"You made it. Well done, Homura."

"Geez. Why do you do this to me Reborn?"

"Don't forget, I was hired to be your tutor remember."

"Homura, are you okay?"

As Homura turned to the side where they heard a voice call out to the boy, they saw a single figure standing in front of them. A slim young woman of below average height. She has long, white hair which curls slightly at the ends, with two bangs framing her face and reaching down to her chest; her hairstyle's most distinctive trait is a short, upward ponytail obtained by gathering and tying the hair covering her forehead. This was Mirajane Strauss.

"I'm fine Mira! I just woke up a bit late!"

"Late? But you're actually on time, see."

As Mira pointed at a nearby clock, it showed that it was actually noon right now. Homura's mouth was wide open. He was sure he set his clock right, so how did it get one hour fast? Soon Reborn chuckled as he went to drink some coffee.

"That was a nice practice run, Homura. Maybe next time I should set the clock two hours forward."

"This baby is a sadist!!!!!"

"Um, Homura. I'm glad you're okay, but you can't really serve as my assistant here in just your boxers."

As Homura looked down, he felt his face turning red out of embarrassment. He was in nothing more than just his boxers and he quickly ran off to put on some new clothes while the guild started laughing at his antics.

"Wow Gray, looks like he caught your diseased habit."

"What's that suppose to mean, Cana?!"

As everyone in the guild shared a laugh, Homura walked out of the bathroom in the guild wearing some new clothes that Reborn had ready for him. When he looked forward, he saw the guild laughing together with a smile on their faces. Though sweat dropped from his face when he saw some of the furniture getting destroyed.

"Welp...time to clean up this mess."

Soon Homura grabbed a broom as he started sweeping around the guild. While this happened, Reborn looked at the boy as he saw the tired look on his face. Soon the tutor walked towards his student.

"I take it you didn't have a good sleep. Before I came into play anyways."

"Yep. As usual....I had that dream again. But for now, I need to focus on my work, right? Not to mention...."

Homura looked at the people of the Fairy Tail guild. They all looked so happy, one could assume that they were more than just guild mates. In all honesty, Homura wished he had something like that. Soon a smile appeared on Reborn's face as he turned around.

".......I don't want to ruin this atmosphere."

"Stop trying to act so cool, No Good Homura."

"We're back!!!!!!"

Homura and Reborn turned around as they heard the sound of the guild doors being slammed opened. When they did, they saw a familiar pink haired boy and blue cat at the doors as blonde girl they've never met accompanied them. Seeing this, the boy said one thing.

"Welcome back Natsu, Happy!"

The strongest guild in Fiore. This guild is filled with several people with different backgrounds. Yet they all have something in common. They all have a story to tell. Despite how he looks, that also goes for Homura Sawada. This is the where his story begins.
