A woman who looked to be around 18 years old looked coldly at several people who were pointing guns at her. She looked bored, as if she had experienced the same thing a thousand times.
Without rising from her ice-cold throne, the woman slaughtered the people who tried to attack her. There was no light in her eyes. Only a blank, cold stare that looked tired. She had lived a long time in her castle made of ice that was neatly arranged aesthetically.
In her long life, the woman nicknamed the Ice Princess had continuously killed everyone who set foot in her castle, without being able to go out to see the world. It wasn't that the princess enjoyed killing people. It was because everyone who came to see her just wanted to kill her.
"How much longer... do I have to be like this..."
Her suffering started several thousand years ago, when the world was still running normally.
About 30,000 years ago. The earth experienced a terrible disaster in all its parts. For whatever reason, eternal winter came suddenly. Not only limited to unrelenting snow and storms, some beasts that have never seen their forms continue to appear.
Many people did not survive all that, the survivors increased their strength and eradicated those creatures. But as if there was no end in sight, they continued to appear.
In just 1 year, humanity's population decreased to ⅓. That number also continued to decrease over time. Until in the 5th year, a group of humans with extraordinary abilities banded together and tried to destroy the eternal winter that struck.
The group originally numbered 30 people, but only 6 people managed to penetrate the winter forest and reach the cause of winter, the Ice Queen. The brave six fought the Ice Queen with all their might. The Ice Queen was killed and winter slowly disappeared. Everyone cheered and regarded the six as heroes. But ironically... their heroes also died while fighting the Ice Queen. To commemorate the heroes, they kept a moment of silence every year on the same day, not knowing that it was just the beginning.
All their heroes were indeed dead. Their hearts had stopped beating and their breath was no longer felt.
But...
The youngest hero member, an orphan girl from an orphanage in the suburbs of the Asian Continent experienced an unusual event. Although her heart stopped beating, she got up as if nothing had happened.
Her body, which was divided in two, was reunited without a trace. Her short black hair extended to her knees and turned snow-white. The yellowish-brown skin paled and became icy cold. The black eyes that were dark at night as if frozen by the icy cold, became silver-blue. Her round ears tapered slightly at the tips.
The scars all over her body were healed and smooth like a newborn's. Her tall and slender body shrank slightly, her face also youngened along with her body. Cold air surrounded her body. And strangely thanks to all these changes, she looked more beautiful than anyone else in the world. But also...
Far more tormented than anyone else in the world.
[ Tower ]
Entrances appear in various worlds. Whoever manages to conquer the tower, will be able to fulfill all her/his wishes no matter what. Even becoming a god.
There are conditions for entering the tower. The condition is to complete tutorials held in various worlds. The name is tutorial, in fact it is like an apocalypse for that world. Every world that becomes a tutorial arena will experience destruction that tests its inhabitants. People who successfully complete the tutorial are entitled to enter the tower. Of course, there are some cases where children are born in the tower, such children must go to one of the tutorial arenas before being expelled from the tower.
Earth is a fairly cruel tutorial arena. The percentage of surviving the Earth tutorial is very low, less than 1%. That's why there are many special rewards and items that can be obtained if you complete the Earth tutorial. Many people have tried to complete it, but no one has survived since the Earth tutorial boss changed.
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
That's right.
Previously, the Earth tutorial boss was the Ice Queen. Now the girl of the hero group is resurrected from the dead as the next Ice Queen. Ironic isn't it? Whereas initially she intended to defeat the Ice Queen and live peacefully afterwards. But instead she became the next Ice Queen and had to be the target of the murder of many people who wanted to drop items from her.
As a tutorial boss, she couldn't leave her territory. She was confined there for a very long time alone and could only kill intruders to her castle. She kept killing until she could no longer count how many she had killed, and so on until 30,000 years had passed. That is why she is called...
"The Unfettered Ice Princess"
Anyone would go crazy if they experienced the same thing as her. The only thing she could do to keep her sanity was to kill her own feelings.
Was she really that strong that no one could kill her?
Yes! But that was not the main reason.
The main reason... no matter how severe the wound. Even if the heart is pierced or ripped out of the body, even if the head is severed and shattered, or even if the body is cut into pieces... The princess will not die.
Whether it's a god-given gift or a curse, the Ice Princess' body will continue to regenerate rapidly. The girl had tried thousands of times to commit suicide or deliberately get killed, but nothing worked.
The Ice Princess is... immortal.
After 30,000 years had passed since she became the Ice Princess in place of the Ice Queen, Earth had been officially closed by Tower as it was considered an impossible tutorial to complete.
Currently... the only living being on Earth was the Ice Princess alone. Without anyone to accompany her.
"That's ridiculous. Only now is it stopping? What's the point... nothing will change," she thought wearily.
"I can't die... nor can I live... Begging the Gods to let me die is a waste of time..."
"Well... what can I do now anyway? I've read and memorized all the books in this world and the books the Conquerors brought with them. Now the only thing that relieves my boredom is gone."
The girl walked slowly to the palace balcony. Looking at the white world that stretched to the corners of the world.
"I'm bored..."

DDREEEEGGGGG
The ground shook violently, objects began to fall, snow avalanche. Without changing her expression, the Ice Princess just stared blankly at the origin of the earthquake. A luxurious, gold-plated gate suddenly appeared from under the ground. Ice Princess approached the gate and touched it lightly.
"What's the entrance gate doing here?" she wondered expressionlessly.
| Congratulations! You have been chosen as a Conqueror to climb the Tower! |
"....What?"
A message suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Haa! Fate is really playing tricks on me. Originally an ordinary human became an immortal tutorial boss, now I'm told to enter as a Conqueror."
"....What should I do? Should I just try entering?"
Ice Princess thought for a moment. She didn't have anything she wanted to do. So whichever one it was was fine. But living alone in there was annoying. Eternal solitude was something no one wanted.
"Wait! If the Tower will grant any request that makes it to the top then... I can finally die?"
For the first time in 10,000 years, the girl smiled from the bottom of her heart. And ironically the reason she was smiling was because of her desire to die.
"That's right! I can finally... leave this damn life... If I climb the Tower to the top... I can die..."
The girl's tearful cries instantly froze and became snowflakes. The girl had already made up her mind. She would climb the Tower as a Conqueror so that she could die after getting bored. Without hesitation, her light footsteps began to enter the gate.

"Name? Name, huh... it's been how many thousands of years since my name was called. Using my true name only keeps me bound to the past. If I must use a name, then..."
"Naeva [https://img.wattpad.com/66a000ee729d84d95ec822a2260a562f422e26ca/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f6a55424b32765f32566846354d513d3d2d313332333737353234372e313739303433643032626265343137303538343139363833373035372e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
"Naeva... my name... is Naeva Winter."
The girl called herself by a name that meant Winter Snow. It was indeed a name that perfectly suited her current self.
