Crimson Sacrifice
Twenty two year old Fumiko goes to sleep rage-scrolling a “generic straight romance” otome game and wakes up inside it with a holographic HUD floating in front of her face.
Title:Crimson Heirs of Everflame
Player Character:Lady Fiametta von Ardentis
Role: Villainess / Final Calamity
Status: Terminally Ill (Irreversible)
Genre:FIRE
The body in the mirror isn’t her own: it’s the outrageously beautiful noblewoman destined to be the game’s last boss and most hated villainess. In the original *Crimson Heirs of Everflame*, Fiametta’s only endings were imprisonment, execution, or a beautifully animated death.
Now, the system insists her illness is incurable even as she feels disturbingly healthy and the so called “FIRE” genre quietly explains itself: heightened emotions, irreversible consequences, and “reality bleed-through.”
Worse, all the flags are wrong.
The four powerful heroines who were supposed to loathe Fiametta now have their affection maxed out:
* Crown Princess Seraphine , who announces their political engagement and clings like a devoted fiancée who would burn the world before letting Fia vanish.
* Knight-Captain Elira, the empire’s sword, assigned as Fiametta’s personal escort.
* Archmage Lyriel , whose cold logic melts whenever Fia’s name is mentioned.
* Saintess Mira, the empire’s holy light, who prays for Fia with frightening intensity.
In the game, they were routes Fumiko chased as a player. In this world, they are women who love Fiametta too much to let her go and perhaps too much to let her be free.
Caught between a body marked by a terminal countdown, four heroines whose love already burns at maximum, and a system that treats reality like a script it can overwrite, Fumiko has to think like the gamer she used to be:
* Map the routes in a world that no longer follows its own code.
* Discover what “FIRE” really demands from its players.
* Hack a fate labeled irreversible before the genre turns her life and the women who love her into ash.
In a universe where love is fuel and every choice can ignite a catastrophe, the villainess of *Crimson Heirs of Everflame* must decide:
Is she trying to survive her own story…
or willing to burn with them, if that’s the only ending left?
