"Immersive dungeon loaded successfully. All players, please prepare."

"Countdown begins."

Watching the game countdown decrease second by second, he looked at Miko and whispered:

"The game is about to start."

"Be careful." Miko bit her lower lip, urging softly, "I'll make lunch at noon. Come over and eat with me."

"What kind of dish?"

"Tomato and potato beef brisket."

"It's my favorite dish! I'll definitely come over for a free meal." Amamiya Natsuki comforted her, "Don't worry, according to previous experience, it'll probably be over in less than a minute."

The countdown ended.

Amamiya Natsuki felt only darkness before his eyes, and his consciousness solidified.

The next moment.

Amamiya Natsuki's body suddenly disappeared from the room.

"Eh?" Miko's eyes widened in surprise, dumbfounded. "How did he disappear?"

"…"

Cold.

Dizzy.

Disoriented.

The dizzying sensation of oxygen deprivation, as if having held his breath underwater for too long, filled his mind.

As a chill spread across his face, Amamiya Natsuki suddenly opened his eyes. What greeted him was a hazy, low-hanging sky, with countless snowflakes fluttering down from above.

Amamiya Natsuki silently sat up, resting his right hand on his forehead. He took a deep breath, and as the cold air rushed into his lungs, he instantly became clear-headed. He used the brief moment to quietly observe his surroundings.

"Location… unknown mountain range."

"Scene… ice and snow."

This time, the game didn't scatter his teammates. Amamiya Natsuki's gaze swept around, and he saw Shinomiya Kaguya and Fujiwara Chika lying beside him. Besides them, there were several other players, all neatly lying in a heap.

"Ugh…"

Fujiwara Chika groggily opened her eyes, and upon seeing the falling snow, her eyes lit up.

"Eh, eh, so much snow!"

What are you so happy about?! You're only wearing a skirt and a shirt. In such extremely harsh weather with heavy snow, you should be worried!

"You're celebrating too early." Amamiya Natsuki sighed. "Let's wake Kaguya-san first."

"Leave it to me."

Fujiwara Chika saluted, then reached out and poked Shinomiya Kaguya's cheek: "Eh, Kaguya-chan is so soft. I've always wanted to poke her, and it really feels good."

This pink-haired girl didn't forget to share the joy and looked at Amamiya Natsuki: "Natsuki-kun, do you want to try?"

To be honest, Amamiya Natsuki was indeed a little tempted.

Unfortunately, the next moment, Shinomiya Kaguya opened her eyes. A flicker of confusion passed through her wine-red eyes, then they instantly sharpened.

"Kaguya-chan, you're awake?" Fujiwara Chika showed no guilt about being caught red-handed. Instead, she said seriously, "Congratulations, the surgery was very successful."

Shinomiya Kaguya covered her forehead and silently sat up, ignoring Fujiwara Chika's chaotic interference. She looked around and soon whispered:

"This scene… is it a snow mountain?"

"It should be." Amamiya Natsuki nodded lightly. "I just woke up, and it seems everyone is together."

As they spoke, the other players also woke up one after another.

"So cold."

"It's actually a snow mountain."

"Damn it, I was just on vacation in Okinawa, and I'm only wearing a shirt. I should have worn a down jacket."

"Look, there's an old castle on the mountaintop."

"…"

"Chika-sama!"

A somewhat familiar cry of surprise reached his ears.

Amamiya Natsuki followed the sound and saw a petite girl in a dinosaur onesie running over. She pulled back the hood of her onesie, revealing a cute, palm-sized face with a white eye patch over her right eye. It was none other than Takanashi Rikka, the teammate he met in the last game.

"Rikka-chan!"

Fujiwara Chika's eyes lit up, and the smile on her face was especially bright.

Before entering the game, Fujiwara Chika, the light of humanity, had appealed in the Player Mutual Aid Group that if everyone entered the same game, they should help each other and overcome difficulties together.

Now that they actually met, there was a sense of joy, like a victorious reunion.

Unfortunately, Takanashi Rikka was the only familiar face; everyone else was a stranger.

Amamiya Natsuki nodded lightly, greeted Rikka, and quietly observed the other players.

There weren't many players participating in this game, a total of ten people, three men and seven women. After waking up, no one was shouting or screaming, clearly indicating they were not new players.

"Ah—"

A gasp sounded.

Amamiya Natsuki's lips twitched slightly. He had just said no one was shouting, and now it happened!

Turning his head, he saw Takanashi Rikka's ahoge happily swaying. She took small, short steps and ran to a tall, black-haired girl who was silently standing in the corner, exclaiming in surprise:

"Yukino, it's me, it's me!"

"…Somewhat familiar."

Amamiya Natsuki looked over curiously and saw a tall, beautiful girl with long black hair. Her aura was as cold as snow, giving him a subtle sense of déjà vu.

He remembered.

Amamiya Natsuki turned his head to look at Miss Ice Princess beside him.

Their temperaments were quite similar, and even their flat-chested attribute was identical. Could it be that in reality, she also had a friend from the Oppai Planet?

"What's wrong?"

Noticing Amamiya Natsuki's subtle gaze, Shinomiya Kaguya tilted her head and looked over, the red ribbon tied into a bow gently swaying in the wind and snow.

Seven monsters.

As the black hair turned into a bow, he felt a subtle change in the girl's attributes before him…

It's me, it's me!

Takanashi Rikka quickly pulled the black-haired girl closer and happily introduced, "The first time I participated in a game, Yukino was the one who helped me clear it."

The pink-haired girl raised her hand to greet them, introducing herself, "Fujiwara Chika, nice to meet you, please take care of me."

The black-haired girl's voice was clear and cold as she softly said, "…Yukinoshita Yukino."

At this moment, some players had already started heading towards the ancient castle on the mountaintop.

"It's so cold." Fujiwara Chika hugged her arms, shivering slightly. "Shall we go to the ancient castle too?"

The real-world time was Golden Week, the sun was bright, and the temperature was over twenty degrees Celsius, so everyone was dressed lightly.

However, the game world was a world of ice and snow. It wasn't bad when they first woke up, but after only a few words, a bone-chilling cold swept over them, and they had to find shelter to prevent body heat loss.

So, even though they knew the ancient castle on the mountaintop was dangerous, everyone still had to go.

"Let's go."

Amamiya Natsuki nodded slightly, taking one last look at the surrounding environment.

It was a low, snow-covered mountain range. Their starting location was near the mountainside, and behind them was a snow-covered forest with many trees collapsed under the weight of the snow due to their dense branches and leaves.

You looked closely and found that the jungle in front of you was very strange.

"Hmm?"

Looking at the sudden prompt, Amamiya Natsuki couldn't help but be stunned.

Where is the strangeness? You should explain it clearly!

"Natsuki-kun, hurry up and go." Fujiwara Chika reminded him, "If we don't go now, we'll freeze to death."

Amamiya Natsuki withdrew his gaze and, with the girls, walked towards the ancient castle on the mountaintop, braving the wind and snow.

The ancient castle was not far. A moment later, all players arrived outside its gates.

Looking at the heavy and majestic wooden door, a player hesitated and stepped forward, trying to push it gently. To their surprise, the seemingly unmovable door silently swung open inwards.

Everyone exchanged glances. No one wanted to go in, but outside, the wind and snow raged, and the cold was bone-chilling, leaving them with no other choice.

Amamiya Natsuki stepped forward first and entered the ancient castle.

The eerie ancient castle was empty.

"…I know!"

Fujiwara Chika suddenly exclaimed, putting her right hand on her hip, and said with a serious expression, "It's a Blizzard Mountain Villa!"
