Not the Chosen One, just doing my best
After an unexpected accident, Cat wakes up in a world where dragons terrorize the countryside and demons feed on the insecurities of humans, elves and orcs alike. She’s in a new body, younger than she used to be, but she still has the skills she studied and practiced in her own life — and now, she’s got magic behind it.
To get by in this world, Cat — now named Lavender — will need to forge new connections, unravel a mystery, and learn how to ride a horse. From a cozy farming town to a serpent-infested mountaintop to the end of the world and back, Lavender works to build a new life, help others in need, and maybe even catch the eye of a dashing lady orc along the way.
High society balls! Wilderness camping! Magical showdowns! A queernorm Western isekai light fantasy series with humor, heart, and a little bit of romance, plus one thing every angsty anime series and fantasy novel could use: Therapy.
