Storyline[]
Prelude[]
Shadow returns to a place where his Sensei is residing. Sensei mocks him for being "vain" and for having lost his body, but then quickly becomes serious. He tests Shadow to see if he retains his combat abilities, first against a punching bag, then against Kenji, his other disciple. Shadow is victorious, and Sensei commends him.
Sensei then suggests that Shadow challenge the first demon, Lynx. The latter, describing Shadow as a "lowly worm", and saying that he will not waste his time fighting the likes of Shadow, pits him against Shin, his first (and weakest) bodyguard; telling Shadow to defeat him first "if he can".
Main[]
Shadow learns about the criminal organization, the Order. When Shadow is successful in beating Shin, he meets a major character in the story, May.
From this point on, May accompanies Shadow and Sensei on their quest to collect the demon seals. May tells Shadow about tournaments and survival, which he participates in to earn money necessary for funding his arsenal of weapons and armor.
Shadow then progressively defeats each one of Lynx's bodyguards, learning more and more about the Order and its members with every battle. He also battles Trickster, a talented fighter who gives up his Nunchacku if Shadow manages to beat him in combat.
By this time, Shadow is ready to fight Lynx. The battle occurs at night time on a rooftop. Lynx invites Shadow to join the Order, but Shadow declines and insists a fight take place. The fight against Lynx however is a challenging one, but Shadow manages to emerge victorious.
Shadow defeats Lynx, and Lynx becomes fearful of losing control of the Order. But when he becomes aware that Shadow only seeks the seal, he surrenders it, and leaves. Shadow then unlocks the use of ranged weapons.
