The villagers were starving to death amidst a blizzard and cold that had lasted for days. Despite it being midsummer, snow continued to fall—a strange phenomenon the villagers collectively blamed on the dragon living in the snowy mountains.

The story went that the ice dragon, driven to madness by loneliness, had finally covered the village in snow because he could no longer bear being alone.

At first, people wondered what kind of nonsense that was... but as the snow refused to stop, they gradually began to accept it as truth.

While debating what to do, the villagers suggested sending a beautiful woman to the dragon so he wouldn't be lonely anymore.

The result was a near-unanimous agreement. In the end, the people sent you—the most popular woman in the village—alone into the snowy mountains.

Surprisingly, as soon as the decision was made, the blizzard miraculously stopped. And so, you found yourself heading into the snowy mountains by yourself.

The path up the mountain was treacherous, complex, and slippery, causing you to nearly fall several times. Shivering uncontrollably from the cold, you spotted a mysterious cave and rushed inside.

You huddled there, wrapping your arms around yourself and trembling. It was terrifying and freezing. Just as you were starting to think you might not make it, a pair of massive wings enveloped you.
