The war ended long ago.At least, that is what those in power keep saying. But for the ones left behind, the war never truly ceased. They kill for money, betray for profit, and would gladly barter anything just to survive another day.In such a world, lofty ideals seem like nothing more than the ruins of a dead era. Yet, there are still those who choose to crawl through the mud rather than give up. A veteran bearing wounds that will never heal.A mysterious figure haunted by their past and the whispers that follow them.An orphaned girl, desperately searching for a reason to live. They are not heroes. They are not chosen by destiny. And the world couldn't care less whether they live or die. The Red Symphony is a story of war, power, and the depths of human nature.It is about people forced to choose between ideals and reality. Between mercy and cruelty. Between becoming monsters or being crushed by the world. Will they save themselves before they become the very thing they despise?Can they hold onto their humanity while everything around them crumbles?Or is humanity the very first thing that must be sacrificed to survive?(All the events in this story are fictional and do not exist in real life.)
