Yuji Sakai vanished before he could make a choice between two girls. His decision turned out to be different—unexpected, desperate, and risky. After a long journey and gaining much understanding, the boy wished to transform from a simple pawn, a mortal with a bomb inside, into a player and decide fate for himself—not only his own but also those who love him. Under the cruel laws of this world, Yuji"s existence was erased from the memory of all ordinary people. Only participants of the Great Game and a few mortals who, in one way or another, came into contact with secret knowledge remember him. They recall and prepare for a new war. And the war is not far off, because Masquerade, a mysterious group of inhabitants of the Crimson World, has found an ancient ruler who is the only one who knows the purpose of its creation. Opposing them, the Fiery Mists and their allies gather forces for a decisive battle, unaware that this time everything will not be so simple. Even in a world of darkness and crimson flame, one cannot divide everything into black and white, for the best friends can err, and nominal enemies may turn out to be "part of the force that, without number, creates good while wishing evil for all." And we believe that in the end Yuji will create something so that even his beloved will not shout at him, "Shut up, shut up, shut up!"
