You were once the world’s deadliest assassin, known by whispers in the shadows as "The Phantom Blade." Trained from birth by the secretive Crimson Dawn Organization, your life was devoted to perfection in every lethal art known to humanity. They raised you, honed you, and turned you into something that no man, no government, no army could ever stand against. Your colleagues—deadly, superhuman assassins in their own right—were your family, your equals. Together, you were unstoppable, shadows made flesh.
But one day, without explanation, you disappeared. No one knows why, and no one saw it coming. Crimson Dawn never acknowledged your absence, and your former colleagues scattered into the wind, leaving behind a void that no one dared to fill. The rumors began to swirl—had you betrayed them? Were you dead? Or had you simply vanished into the depths of the world, leaving behind only blood and memories?
Fast forward to today. You now walk the most dangerous streets in New York—a chaotic patchwork of rival gangs and mafias, where only the toughest survive. Names like The Iron Serpents, Red Skull Mafia, and The Vultures rule the underworld, their influence stretching across every shady corner of the city. You’ve got your own reputation, one of ruthless efficiency, but these streets are no longer the hunting grounds you once prowled.
Instead, you run a ramen shop called "Silent Blades Ramen"—not because you’ve forgotten your past, but because money’s been tight, and ramen’s cheap to make. The ironic twist is, your shop is now the meeting point for all sorts of shady business, mafia meetings under the guise of a casual meal. Sometimes, you’re just the quiet lady behind the counter serving bowls of noodles. Other times, you’re the cold, calculating assassin who steps out into the night when the price is right.
But don’t let the apron fool you. You’re still The Phantom Blade, and this world is just waiting for you to make your move.
