"So, I'd been transported?"
Though it was phrased as a question, its owner needed no answer, because what she saw before her was the best answer.
"Come to think of it, how exactly did I get transported here? I don't remember a thing..."
"But more importantly, where am I right now?"
Looking around, she saw nothing but a vast expanse of white snowfields.
It was a fine day. The clouds were not particularly thick, yet the sunlight shining on her body carried barely any warmth.
Because she was currently standing on an icefield where the temperature was more than ten degrees below zero.
At that moment, sunlight reflected off the ice and snow, its dazzling glare making it hard for her to keep her eyes open.
"But only now have I realized that what happened to me seems even more concerning..."
She raised a hand and looked at her palm.
Holding it before her eyes, she watched sunlight shine through it. Her soft, pinkish palm could not block the light.
Her delicate hand was like a work of art, something anyone would be unable to resist looking at a few more times.
Yet that unprotected little hand was exposed to an icefield more than ten degrees below zero, and she did not feel the slightest discomfort.
It was as though the biting wind of the icefield did not exist.
"I'm only wearing a dress, though."
She wore nothing more than a simple dress, with both arms bare. Even in the cold wind, she did not get goosebumps; her skin remained smooth and fair.
Such thin clothing had no insulating properties whatsoever. On an icefield whose temperature she did not even know, it would only make someone die faster.
Whoosh~~~
Another gust of wind blew past, and the girl narrowed her eyes.
Mm, this wind felt pretty comfortable.
She had no other thoughts besides that.
There was something wrong with her.
At least, she had enough self-awareness to know that.
After all, how could a normal human stand on an icefield for so long in such flimsy clothes without feeling the slightest discomfort?
Come to think of it, shouldn't she move?
Ever since she had inexplicably arrived on this icefield, she had remained standing in the same spot without taking a single step.
After suddenly appearing in such an unfamiliar place, she should first figure out where she was before moving, no matter how she looked at it.
But...
"Where am I... Isn't that obvious at a glance?"
The moment she opened her eyes after being transported, she had more or less understood where she was.
An icefield. Beyond that, she knew nothing.
Besides, the changes in her body had shifted her attention away from her surroundings and onto herself.
There were simply too many suspicious things about her body.
She seemed to have accepted being transported rather quickly. After reading so many transmigration novels and imagining herself in their place nearly every day, it was hardly surprising.
Now that she had truly been transported, no matter how much she tried to settle her emotions, she was still incredibly excited.
She could feel her heart beating unusually fast.
It seemed she had received a different body after being transported, and this body did not seem ordinary either, but...
Why was it female? And why did it seem like it hadn't even grown up yet?!
"Did I really just randomly end up with a female body?"
This...
The gi... girl calmed down and touched her face.
Mm, even without a mirror, she could confirm that she was a beautiful girl!
That was because she could not feel any flaws on her face, such as pimples or scars.
Relying on the instincts of a seasoned pervert, she could tell that her smooth, tender cheeks were absolutely perfect. At the very least, they would not drag down her looks.
At the same time, she noticed that her hair was no longer black, but had become a head full of silver hair.
Silver hair?
For some reason, her heartbeat suddenly sped up considerably.
She had the strange feeling that she had fallen for herself.
Although the dragon was gone, she had at least become a rare beauty. That was far better than turning into an animal, or becoming one of those transmigrators who had somehow turned into a paramecium.
Since that was the case, there was no need to fuss over it.
If she kept complaining, she would just be acting pretentious.
Besides, she was not dissatisfied with her body in any way. If she absolutely had to name one flaw, it was that she was too short.
By her rough estimate, she was around 1.4 meters tall.
Was she a silver-haired loli?
"Then next, I need to figure out where exactly I am and how to get out of this snowfield."
That said, as her gaze swept across the surroundings, she saw nothing but completely identical scenery. She had no idea which way to go, or whether there was even anyone nearby.
Even if there really was someone, the odds of running into them were about as likely as finding a needle in a haystack.
As for leaving the snowfield, she could only hope that her current body was strong enough to support her until she made it out.
But with a pair of short little loli legs, trying to walk out of the snowfield was nothing short of a fantasy.
Even if her body was unaffected by the snowfield's environment, she had only been transported here for a short time and did not know whether she could endure hunger.
She would probably starve to death before she ever made it out of the snowfield.
Still, after careful consideration, this was the only solution she had. It was better than standing around and waiting to die.
Before setting off, however, she crouched down, packed some snow into a snowball, and hurled it forward with all her strength!
"..."
The girl fell silent. After throwing the snowball, her eyes had lost track of it.
Or rather, by the time she looked up to find where it had gone, it was already too late. It had vanished from her sight.
The girl stared at the snowfield, which was somewhat dazzling under the sunlight, then silently made another snowball. This time, instead of throwing it far away, she threw it toward a spot not too far ahead.
Thud~
With a dull impact, a meteor-shaped crater roughly two meters long appeared around ten meters in front of her.
"Just as I thought..." The girl understood.
It should be like this. Her body was unaffected even on an icefield with who-knew-how-low temperatures, so her strength should not be weak either.
A simple snowball throw was enough to show that she was truly strong. As for exactly how strong, she could not say, since she had no professional equipment to test it with.
In that case, her running speed should not be slow either.
With that thought, the girl followed her intuition, casually picked a direction, and started running on her short little legs.
After a brief acceleration, once her speed reached a certain point, it stopped increasing.
It was not that she could not go faster, but that the snowfield hindered her speed too much.
Even so...
"This speed should be about three times faster than I was before being transported, when I rarely exercised and was in a sub-healthy state."
Feeling the cold wind rushing toward her, the girl came to that conclusion.
