In a village covered with ice from all sides, a young girl around the age of 20, with silver hairs with two Braids and clear blue irises, opened her eyes and looked around her. She was feeling refreshed like she had taken a light nap but something wasn't right, it just wasn't, but the girl who was none other than teen, was not able to remember what she was missing.
"how did I end up here in the first place?" she started to think and after some deliberate thinking, she remembered that she was in her starting village and was one of the participants who were chosen for partaking in the test of talents, a forbidden ritual which involved touching an ancient altar and drawing power from it which in turn, unlocks the hidden potential of the user but fell under a scheme by the village's own elders and thus was here along with…
"who was I wondering with? Who was, why the hell Am I not able to remember who was that aah! My companion, small titan!" teen quickly looked around for her pet small titan just as she remembered about it and it wasn't long that her eyes fell on a white cocoon made up of ice which was in the shape of an animal, a very familiar animal, an F ranked deer, teen was able to tell at a glance that it was her companion, her pet beast with which she has contracted a bond of life and death, small titan!
Teen quickly rushed towards the beast and tried to melt the ice with her ice affinity but just as she put her hand on the ice it started to defreeze on its own and in some seconds, the sleeping deer was revealed from within the now melted cocoon and all the wounds he had accumulated were all gone like they were never there in the first place!
"did my ice do this, but I don't recall having such a power… why the hell does everything has to be very complicated? Why everything can't be simpler! Aaaa!" teen cried aloud in frustration but as she did so, her eyes fell on the body of a person. It was a man to be exact. Then teen remembered that along with her and her pet, she also went with fried chicken, a player just like her. He was still unconscious, the dark ice was covering his body but before teen could try to defreeze the ice as she had done with small titan, the man covered with ice disappeared with a flash of white, and left a heap of items behind. The white light was a signal that the player had died and has been sent to the respawn point in the village. Respawn points were places where a player revived again after their death.
Teen knelt down and examined all the items which were dropped by fried chicken one by one. In the small pile of loot, she managed to find some common healing and mana recovery potions, and also an uncommon grade staff which pulsed with black light at its tip. Teen examined the staff with the game's inbuilt system and was amazed by what she saw!

"Damn! This staff is really good!" teen shouted out loud and put the staff in her right hand and walked towards the beast who was about to wake up soon.
