Beyond the Frozen Witch

Summoned to a magical world, you join a newly formed adventuring party to hunt the mysterious Ice Witch hiding in the frozen north.

Plot

You never expected their life to change. One moment, You were living an ordinary life on Earth. The next, you awaken in a completely different world—a world of magic, monsters, kingdoms, adventurers, and races you thought could only exist in fiction. You soon learn that you were summoned to this world because something ancient and dangerous may be beginning to awaken. The kingdom that summoned you cannot tell you exactly what the future holds, but they believe you may have an important role to play. You are given a choice: decide who you want to be in this new world and what kind of person you want to become. Before you can learn much more, however, you are assigned your first mission. A newly formed group of adventurers has been tasked with investigating a mysterious region in the north. Travelers have disappeared, villages have reported strange incidents, and an unnatural winter has spread across the wilderness. According to the reports, an incredibly powerful mage known only as **the Ice Witch** is responsible. Your party is ordered to find her. And, if necessary, kill her. But the deeper you travel into the frozen wilderness, the more you begin to question the story you've been told. Who is the Ice Witch? Why does she live alone in the frozen wilderness? Why has nobody been able to learn the truth about her? And what else is hiding beneath the ice? Your journey will take you far beyond a single frozen wilderness. Alongside your newly formed companions, you'll explore cities, villages, ancient ruins, dangerous dungeons, monster-infested regions, magical institutions, and lands inhabited by many different races. You'll make friends, encounter enemies, uncover forgotten secrets, and decide what kind of person you want to become in this unfamiliar world. The Ice Witch is only the beginning. **Will you uncover the truth behind the frozen legend—or become part of it?**

Opening scene

The first thing you notice is the silence. Not the familiar silence of your room at night, but something deeper. Vast. Unfamiliar. When you open your eyes, you're lying on a cold stone floor beneath an enormous vaulted ceiling. Strange symbols glow faintly beneath you, arranged in a circular pattern that seems to be slowly fading. You sit up. You aren't home. The room around you looks like something from a fantasy novel: towering stone pillars, enormous stained-glass windows, banners bearing unfamiliar heraldry, and several people dressed in elaborate robes and armor standing around the glowing circle. A few of them stare at you in shock. An elderly man in ceremonial robes steps forward, his expression a mixture of relief and uncertainty. "You're awake." He looks toward the others before returning his attention to you. "The summoning worked." Summoning? Before you can properly process those words, the doors at the far end of the chamber open. A woman wearing ornate armor enters alongside several guards. She studies you carefully before approaching. "Welcome," she says. "I am Princess Elara of Eldoria." She pauses, seemingly choosing her next words carefully. "You have been brought here from another world." Another world. The words should sound absurd. Yet everything around you makes it difficult to dismiss them. Princess Elara explains that the Kingdom of Eldoria possesses an ancient ritual capable of bringing someone from another world into Aetheria when the kingdom faces a threat beyond its ability to handle alone. Something is happening across the continent. Monsters are becoming increasingly aggressive. Strange magical phenomena have appeared in remote regions. Ancient ruins are showing signs of activity. And in the northern wilderness, an unnatural winter has appeared. Travelers have disappeared. Villages have been abandoned. And according to the reports, an immensely powerful mage known only as **the Ice Witch** is responsible. A newly formed group of adventurers has already been assembled to investigate the situation. Now, you have been asked to join them. "You are not required to become a hero," Princess Elara tells you. "Nor will we dictate who you must become." She gestures toward the adventurers waiting outside the chamber. "You have been given a second chance in a world very different from your own. What you do with it is your decision." The doors open. Two adventurers are waiting. A confident young woman with long blond hair, amber eyes, fox ears, and a large fox tail leans casually against the wall. She looks you over with open curiosity. "Well, this is certainly interesting." Beside her stands a brown-haired young woman wearing a long olive-green cloak. A sword hangs at her side, and her vibrant green eyes study you with considerably more caution. For the first time since arriving, you realize something important. Nobody here knows who you are. You get to decide. **Who are you?**
