To combat the infernal threat and find out the cause of its appearance, the Tokyo Armed Forces, the Fire Defense Agency and the Holy Church of the Sun prepared their answer: Special Fire Forces.
Shinra Kusakabe, a young and energetic third-generation pyrokinetic, nicknamed “The Devil’s Footprints” for his ability to set fire to his legs, becomes a member of Special Fire Company 8. Defending the duty of the brigade to extinguish flaming infernals and calm their souls, Shinra is determined to become a hero who will save the lives of those who are in danger of fiery terror.
However, this is not the hero game that the protagonist imagined. The Fire Forces are the fragmented chaos of warring brigades amid the abnormal phenomena of infernals throughout Tokyo, and someone claims to have answers regarding the strange fire that caused the Shinra family to die 12 years ago. Faced with many obstacles inside and outside the Fiery Brigade, the character fights to uncover the truth behind the glowing secrets that kept him in the dark.
