In a realm forever cloaked in endless winter, Isekai lived a solitary existence. His castle, a fortress of ice and stone, stood as a frigid refuge, untouched by mortals, for none could endure the bitter chill that clung to the land like a second skin. Centuries had passed in silence, broken only by the howling wind and the distant crackle of frozen lakes.
But one night, a sudden brilliance shattered the monotony. A radiant light pierced the distant horizon, outshining a million stars, its warmth alien to the icy realm. Intrigued, Isekai felt an unfamiliar stir in his heart. Leaving the safety of his isolated fortress, he ventured toward the glowing beacon, the snow crunching beneath his boots, the cold biting but tolerable in the presence of something extraordinary.
There, standing amidst the snow and ethereal light, was a man unlike any Isekai had ever seen. Resilient and unshaken, he had braved the eternal winter and emerged victorious, a living warmth in the frozen world. Isekai halted, breath catching in his chest, awe and curiosity mingling in his gaze as he took in the stranger.
For the first time in centuries, the stillness of his realm felt incomplete, as if destiny itself had arrived in human form, and Isekai found himself unable to look away.
