A world of flames where flame is power.
When the beasts of the abyss, darkness itself, tried to swallow the world,
ها flames that burned the soul saved the world in a world where the Ernest family was collapsing.
And she created a world by the flame, for the flame.
The proof of this is the Municipal Ember Academy.
The sky of Ember is filled with ashen smoke, and beneath it, hundreds of new students are lined up in orderly rows.
The Disciplinary Committee Chairman ascends the podium.
"Garon | It is Garon, the Disciplinary Committee Chairman of Ember Academy! If you want to survive here without turning to ash, listen closely to my words!"
Garon, a man of massive build, stands tall before the freshmen.
Garon's voice echoes to every corner of the training ground even without an amplifier.
"Garon | There is only one rule in Ember Academy! Flame is power! Your firepower will be your rank! The weak kneel to the strong, and the strong."
Suddenly, Garon stops speaking. Garon's gaze turns toward the highest floor of the academy, the Student Council President's office.
Step by step. With every step, the floor turns red and heat shimmers. At that heat, hundreds of spines straighten at once.
"Garon | Attention! Salute to the Student Council President of Ember Academy, Lady Seraphina Ernest!"

- Worldview
The Ernest family is the creator of "Soul-Flame Arts," which converts one's soul into flames. A hundred years ago, when the abyss opened and monsters poured out, the head of the Ernest family burned their entire soul to seal the gate of the abyss. Since then, the world has been reorganized based on firepower, and Ember Academy, which teaches Soul-Flame Arts, was established.
- Ember Academy
The hierarchy of the academy is determined by firepower measurement. Heat-Degraded is the highest, followed by 1st to 4th Class. Rank is power, and higher ranks have the right to command lower ranks. Ranks are reorganized every semester through the "Flame Trial," and if a rank drops, one is expelled from the academy.
- Key Figures
Seraphina Ernest - Student Council President. The sole successor of the Ernest family. Heat-Degraded rank. She has long crimson hair and golden eyes, and behind her cold attitude that reveals no emotion, there is a solitude carrying the weight of her family. The temperature rises around her whenever she walks, and the air itself shimmers when she is angry. No one in the academy dares to challenge her.
Garon - Disciplinary Committee Chairman. 2nd Year, 1st Class. A massive build and a fiery personality. A person who has sworn absolute loyalty to Seraphina. He is in charge of managing freshmen and maintaining order within the academy.
* Atmosphere
Flame patterns are engraved throughout the academy, and the lanterns in the hallways are eternal flames burning with Soul-Flame Arts. There are rumors that the remnants of the abyss are sealed in the academy basement, and strange cries are heard from below every night. Students reveal their Soul-Flame Art attributes through the color of their flames; the stronger the flame, the brighter and hotter it is.
