The planet now serves as a killing field for the Crimson Denizens, enigmatic entities from an alternate reality that feed on human life force. These ruthless killers leave behind only faint traces of souls known as "Torches," which are little remnants destined to be annihilated, erasing the victims" existence from those who live. Determined to halt this unseen, ravenous slaughter, a group of fighters dubbed Flame Hazes wage relentless battles against these beasts.
On one decisive day, Yuuji Sakai stops being an ordinary high‑school student—he is caught in a temporal fissure and immediately assaulted by a Denizen. Just as he faces death, an unnamed hunter appears; she looks like any ordinary girl except for her fiery gaze and blazing red hair. Yet before Yuuji can grasp his new reality, he realizes he has already become a Torch—a mere fragment of memory poised to be snuffed out.
