You had just returned from another long day of school, even more tired than usual. Finals for the year had just ended, and it looks like you passed.
Though you weren't looking forward to having to do one more year in the cesspool those people call a school before leaving to college.
(Y/N): Why, oh why, did it have to be Earth... I want action and adventure, not to live in this broken, mundane world... At least I have more time for games now.
You perk up.
(Y/N): That and summer's on the horizon!
After playing and beating the new Touhou 18 thanks to your awesome (and by awesome I mean above average) roguelike skills, you decide to have dinner and go to sleep.
(Y/N): Man, I wish I could be a Touhou character... Yukari...? You listening...?
[Request Acknowledged. Sending player to Gensokoyo.]
You wake up, ready to start your Saturday...
Only to find you're in the Forest of Magic. At least you think it's the Forest of Magic.
[BGM: The Grimoire of Marisa - Track 1: Magician's Melancholy]
(Y/N): Huh, I'm in a forest... WAIT-
You immediately get up and look around. The sun is rising over the horizon and you can't see any signs of the civilization you know.
(Y/N): Man, maybe I should cut down on Touhou for the time being. This dream feels all too real.
[This is not a dream, Gamer.]
(Y/N): WHOWASTHA-
[This is your new System.]
(Y/N): System? Gamer? Wait. You mean...
[You are now in Gensokyo, with the powers of the Gamer. Not only that, you seem to have developed some peculiar abilities. Check your Stat Sheet.]
(Y/N): Hmm... Stat Check.
[Due to this being your first time opening the stat menu, each stat will be explained briefly.]
[But first, you must select your difficulty.]
[Journey - the only limit is your imagination]
{Grants access to various cheat abilities}
(Y/N): 'Seems too cheap. Besides, there's probably some fine print.'
'That and Yukari'll wallop me if she found out about that.'
[Normal - the middle of the road. Your adventure begins.]
(Y/N): 'More my style, but what else is there?'
[Hard/Expert - Fortune and Glory, kid. Stronger enemies and bosses, but better loot.]
(Y/N): 'Now we're getting somewhere.'
[Lunatic/Master - Game over man, game over. Please dodge for no pay until you die. In fact, don't play this at all.]
(Y/N): 'Ain't getting paid to play Lunatic. Not playing Lunatic.'
(Y/N): 'Harder fights, but better rewards... I like the sound of that challenge.'
(Y/N): Hear me loud and clear, system! I select Hard Mode!
[Difficulty Selected - Hard]
[There's no going back once you've chosen your difficulty. Are we clear?]
