Blade and Soul

Alka is chased by the Empire, and runs into Koga, who notices her skill with the blade. She's taken to their village. The village's land is great for cultivating Heaven's Spirits, so the Empire wants their land. Morii hires Alka as a bodyguard. Jin Varrel commands the Flower Monks and searches for Alka, saying she killed her master.

Wanted posters are posted in the red light district of this town of Alka. Jin Hazuki, the bounty hunter, takes Alka to the Tomon Inn. They meet the proprietress, Elle Karen. Karen realizes she's the bounty, but has a policy of leaving business outside of her establishment.

Alka and Hazuki continue to fight and run into the Pleasure Gang. Dan Loana, the leader of the gang, tells Alka that she's trying to take revenge against Jin. She tries to explain that revenge is about an emotion, not a rule, and uses Alka as bait to lure Jin in.

Seto and Pia work by collecting garbage around the red light district. They invite Alka into their house, as it seems she has lost her sight. She remembers Master Hon's teaching. One day Seto is attacked and he ends up killing his attacker and selling his goods.
