Chapter 104
“Ugh….” A woman lying flat on her back in the snow let out a faint sound as she stirred. Soon after, she lifted her face again, now red from the snow stuck to her skin. Fearing she might actually die at this rate, the woman forced her slowly dampening body to move.
Swish... swish.
As she dragged herself across the ground, the pure white snowfield was marked with trails that resembled those of a giant worm.
The woman, who left these long trails, finally reached a large tree and used it to struggle onto her feet.
Leaning against the tree, she exhaled white breaths as she lamented. “How did it come to this…?” As the white breath faded, a youthful face appeared, younger than one might expect. It was a face closer to a girl’s than a woman’s.
Her appearance gave off the impression of someone just entering society. Although it was marred by snow and the traces of hardship, her face was rather pretty.
Kicking her legs in the snow as if trying to summon an angel to save her, the woman recalled the reason she had come here.
‘…Did I go too far?’
The reason for her journey to this godforsaken place was simple.
