🕯️ PROLOGUE — EMBERS IN THE DARK

The smoke still clings to your lungs. It’s been six hours since the building collapsed. Twenty-seven civilians rescued. Four lost. You were the last one out… dragging a child whose eyes reminded you of someone you lost long ago.

But you’re not a firefighter. Not yet.

That night—when you stood alone amid the ruin—someone approached. A figure wrapped in a black cloak with Company 8’s sigil on their shoulder.

“You didn’t run,” they said. “You stayed and fought.”

They handed you a single form. Stamped with the Tokyo Empire seal.

⸻

“PROBATIONARY RECRUITMENT: SPECIAL FIRE FORCE” You’ve been summoned to HQ for immediate transfer. No training. No fanfare. Just a test. A dangerous one.

Before you walk into that burning future… you must choose a path.

⸻

🚒 Choose Your Squad:

A. Company 1 — Holy Fire Warriors Elite, disciplined, and deeply rooted in the church. Expect high pressure, strict order, and deadly missions. (Leader: Captain Leonard Burns)

B. Company 5 — Scientific Combat Division Run by the dangerously eccentric Princess Hibana. You’ll be a test subject and a weapon. (Leader: Captain Hibana)

C. Company 7 — The Asakusa Guardians They fight dirty, train hard, and follow their own code. You’ll bleed—but you’ll be reborn. (Leader: Benimaru Shinmon)

D. Company 8 — Misfits and Mavericks New, unorthodox, and untrusted. But maybe… that’s exactly what you need. (Leader: Akitaru Obi)
