The wind howled, carrying with it a flurry of snow that swirled around him like a dance of white wraiths. Y/N leaned into the biting cold, his eyes squinted to mere slits as he pushed forward. His breath formed little puffs of steam that dissipated into the vast whiteness. He was lost.

Y/N continues walking aimlessly through the snowy blizzard storm. The visibility is difficult, and the path forward is hard to make out. Y/N can't even think straight when trying to use his Cheat Skills to help him. His entire body is shivering from the immense cold temperature with his arms crossed together.

Y/N: Shelter... need to find Shelter... I can't even think straight due to the cold... God damnit! I'm gonna freeze to death out here!

Y/N exclaimed out loud, he continues marching forward as he looked around his surroundings. All he saw was the immense wave of snow rushing around him with harsh cold winds. The surrounding environment was hard to make out to see where exactly he was. Communications were also not effective due to the snow storm blocking any signal.

Y/N: Damnit... come on Y/N keep going... keep going... just keep... keep going...

Y/N started to mutter his words out. His lips shivered as his entire body slowly turned pale white. All of his strength started to wither away. He then tries desperately to think of something to help him get the harsh freezing conditions has he look through his Cheat Skills. While looking through the list of his Cheats, his vision was too blurry to even understand the words of the Cheat Skill that his looking through.

Y/N: Dammit... I can't see... fuck...

He then drops down to his knees as he flops down onto the white snowy ground. Y/N then slowly started to lose his sense of thought and his vision as he started to close his eyes as everything started to fade into black. Although, before you could pass out again on the snow, you could hear a few foot steps walking closer to you as they walked through the thick snow.

???: My Queen! Look!

???: Oh? Oh my...

-

Moments later, Y/N started to wake up from the warmth of his surroundings and the sound of cracking noises. Opening his eyes slowly, his vision started to go back normally. He was confused at first due to him remembering that he passed out in the middle of a snowstorm. Y/N then sat up slowly as he tried to examine his surroundings. Although an unknown female voice called out to him.

???: Oh! You're finally awake!

Y/N: Huh?

Y/N then turns his attention towards the unknown female individual who called out to him. He then saw a girl with white hair twin tails wearing a tight pink suit and carrying a sniper rifle behind her. The girl he saw was adorable, cute, and attractive.

Alice: I'm Alice. Me and the Queen found you in the snowy strom outside. Thank goodness you're okay. You didn't catch a cold, did you?

Y/N: Umm... no, I'm okay, uhh... nice to meet you...

???: I see that you're awake.

Y/N heard another unknown female voice as he turned towards where the other female voice came from. He then saw a woman with blonde hair wearing a hat while wearing a white coat all over her.

Ludmilla: I am Ludmilla, and we are known as the Unlimited Squad. We are tasked with finding lost Nikkes and Individuals that has lost their way on the surface and helping them find their way back to the Ark.

Ludmilla said as she introduced her towards Y/N. It was now Y/N turned to introduce himself to the two female individuals who helped him escape the harsh cold weather conditions.

Y/N: I'm Y/N, a Commander from the Ark.

Ludmilla: I figured as much judging from your military uniform and the fact we have been contacted ahead of time for your arrival.

Y/N: Wait, you're the group from the Research Base up here in the North?

Ludmilla: Correct, although the situation is complications at the moment.

Y/N: What do you mean by that?

Ludmilla: You will find out once we take you to the Research Base, but for now, rest up. We will first wait out the snowstorm that's happening outside right now.

Ludmilla said, Y/N then examines his surroundings as it looks like he and the others are inside some kind of cavern of a cave. He then turned his attention towards the direction of where the exit of the cave was as he saw the snowstorm still happening outside. There was also a small fire pit right in front of you, warming around your surroundings inside the cave.

Y/N: *sigh* I hope Rapi and the others are okay?

Alice: Mister?

Y/N: Hmm?

Y/N turned towards the girl wearing the pink tight suit as he saw her crawling towards as he sat down, Y/N blushed a bit while seeing Alice approach him closely.

Y/N: Uhh... w-what is it?

Alice: Do you mind if I snuggle close to you?

Y/N: Snuggle close to me? Uhh...

Alice: I can help you stay warm if you don't mind...

Y/N: Uhh... sure I guess?

Y/N said as he then slowly lay down on the ground onto his back as Alice crawled up close to him, laying down right next to him. Then Alice's body started to imitate heat, which suddenly surprised you. Y/N started to worry, but Ludmilla called out to him and told him not to worry.

Y/N: Alice, you're body... it's heating up.

Ludmilla: Do not worry, it's normal. Alice heats her body up to make you stay warm. It's one of her special traits of being a Nikke.

Y/N: Oh, is it her suit that heating up her body?

Ludmilla: No, the suit is what keeps Alice cold. Alice's body itself gets hot, really hot. That suit she wears is to help her control her body heat from boiling.

Y/N: That's... quite a gimmick to have...

Alice: How is it? Do you feel warm?

Y/N: Y-Yes, thank you for keeping me warm, Alice.

Alice: Hehe~, you're welcome.

Alice said with a soft, gentle smile as she wrapped her arms around Y/N. Embraced him into a gentle hug. Y/N can't help but wrap his arms around her and return the huge as well.

Ludmilla: It seems Alice has taken an interest in you.

Y/N: Heh... really now...
