Blazing Skies: A Commander Dropped In from the Start

Note: This story is primarily based on the original Heaven Burns Red. It is a very slow burn, and also aims to fix some of the game’s weaker storylines. The plot therefore follows the game’s main story, but the protagonist will affect certain events later on, causing things to diverge from the original route.

As the mysterious extraterrestrial lifeforms known as the Cancer sweep across the world like a tide, humanity stands on the brink of extinction. Its last hope, the Seraph Corps, wields weapons of decisive battle named after the Seraphs, fighting on the apocalyptic front lines without respite.

Yet at the most critical moment of the battle, a commander is suddenly dropped into the fray?

“Fall back to the rear? I’m afraid I can’t do that.” The mysterious commander, who calls himself “Mumei,” has no weapon of decisive battle, yet still fights on the front lines with nothing but a massive shield!

After stopping a wave of force that tears up the ground, he turns to the Seraphs behind him and says, “My job isn’t just to give orders from the command room. It’s to make sure you get home alive.”

A mortal ventures deep into hell!

Also, the author is currently working like a pack mule and struggling to revise the original and make the story more coherent for various reasons, so updates are slow. Please bear with me.
