Synopsis
In a reality transformed into a battlefield by the Crimson Denizens, mysterious entities from another dimension that feast on human life force, these relentless predators leave behind only faint soul fragments known as Torches, destined to vanish and erase their victims from existence entirely. To oppose this silent and ravenous assault, warriors called Flame Hazes engage in an endless war against these creatures. Yuuji Sakai's life undergoes a dramatic shift when he is caught in a temporal disturbance and becomes the target of a Denizen attack. He is unexpectedly saved by an unnamed hunter who, despite appearing as an ordinary girl, possesses striking red hair and piercing eyes. As Yuuji struggles to comprehend his situation, he discovers that he has already been reduced to a Torch—an ephemeral trace of memory fated for annihilation.
