After Lin Beirong died of an illness, she was reborn as Bei Rong, the daughter of a tribal chief on another continent.
This ancient land had an erratic climate and was frequently struck by natural disasters and attacked by strange beasts. It was a place where survival felt like the apocalypse. Each tribe had its own unique traits, and to survive, its members awakened different abilities.
The original Bei Rong was the only daughter of the Snow Rock Tribe's chief and had been raised as his successor. But she had been frail and sickly since birth, and at 175 centimeters tall, she was unusually short for her tribe. At seventeen, she still hadn't awakened an ability, and the other tribe members had never thought much of her.
As soon as Lin Beirong arrived, she found a crowd of people watching her like hawks, all eyeing her position as the chief's successor.
In this tribe, if a successor couldn't shoulder their responsibilities or command respect, they could be challenged on the day of their succession. If they lost, the new chief would drive them out of the tribe.
And she was in the heart of a frozen wasteland, surrounded by glaciers and snow, with nothing but desolation as far as the eye could see. Everyone lived together in caves, where people starved and froze to death.
At night, the wind was bitingly cold. During the day, a strange gray fog would rise, blocking sight and making it easy to get lost. Breathing it for too long caused illness. Man-eating fish lurked beneath the frozen river. The nearest neighboring tribe was a month's journey away, and natural disasters struck from time to time... No matter how you looked at it, being driven out of the tribe meant certain death.
Fortunately, after Lin Beirong arrived, she took part in the tribe's final ritual and successfully awakened an ability, giving her the power to protect herself.
If she wanted to survive, she had to grow stronger and lead the whole tribe toward a better future.
So the people of the Snow Rock Tribe watched as the chief's daughter, who had been on the brink of death, climbed out of bed and, still recovering, volunteered to go out in search of food and a source of heat.
Some waited for her to make a fool of herself. Others grew a little less prejudiced against her. But not one of them believed she could succeed.
Until she led a group to find an exceptionally rare firestone.
Until she brought people from the neighboring tribe back with several carts of life-saving food.
As her orders came one after another, the Snow Rock Tribe continued to change. It grew stronger, gradually earned a name for itself across the continent, and helped the surrounding area prosper, attracting people from other tribes who had heard of its success.
Everyone: No one could be more suited to being chief than she is. No one! Just look at how jealous the neighboring tribes are!
