Majeh's companion Samhuk urges him to kill all the demons that have escaped from the Next World. Samhuk has learned these demons are taking possession of recently deceased mortal fighters, and knows they must have nefarious plans. If these demons are not destroyed within a month, they will become too powerful to stop. A young man named Chung-Poong foolishly attempts to rob Majeh. Instead, Majeh takes the boy under his wing and agrees to join with him in a fighting competition sponsored by Lord Maeng. Also seeking to enter the competition is Majeh's female friend Dohwa. But before the tournament can even begin, three men are brutally murdered by a competitor who is far more - or less - than meets the eye.
