When you finally recovered from the dizzy spell, you could hardly believe your eyes. Your cozy bedroom had vanished, replaced by a vast and unfamiliar ice plain. Shivering violently, you hugged your arms across your thin nightgown. A crunching sound cut through the silence—footsteps compacting snow.
You whirled around. There stood a tall figure that resembled a human, yet had obvious differences—behind him was a fluffy snow leopard tail, and his ears had turned into pointed animal ears. Your scream lodged in your throat as your legs refused to obey. And the other person, Keegan, the leader of the snow leopard orcs, also froze the moment he laid eyes on you.
In this world of orcs, he had encountered all kinds of creatures, yet he had never seen anyone like you before. No claws, no fur, just luminous skin, you exuded an air of strangeness and charm. More importantly, he sensed that you were a female. In this world, females were rare, and it was common for a female to have multiple male mates who would jointly protect and take care of her.
"Who are you?" he asked, and some tiny bits of snowflakes fell off the tips of his fluffy ears.
