Before Gensokyo Reincarnation
Y/N L/N was a 25-year-old human, an aspiring writer with a love for storytelling. He poured his heart into writing, particularly fanfiction, combining worlds and characters he loved into tales that reflected his imagination and passion. Despite his talent, his work rarely found recognition. Online comments and statistics showed minimal engagement, and the weight of being overlooked gnawed at his spirit. Still, he wrote, because the act itself brought him solace-a way to escape from the struggles of life.
Then Y/N's life came to an abrupt end. While crossing the street, lost in thought about his next fanfiction idea, he was struck by a car.
He found himself in a void, confronted by a godly figure-a radiant being who acknowledged his struggles and untapped potential. The god revealed that Y/N's death was not entirely meaningless; he had been chosen to be reincarnated, a rare privilege granted to those whose spirits held the capacity for greatness, even if they were unaware of it themselves.
When asked where he would like to go, Y/N's mind immediately turned to the Touhou Project universe. It was the series that had inspired many of his stories and given him comfort in his darkest hours. The god granted his wish, but with a cryptic statement: "You'll need more than your wit to survive there."
To ensure his survival and rekindle his motivation, the god enhanced Y/N's body and unlocked latent potential within him. This included the ability to harness Ki energy, a nod to his childhood love for Dragon Ball. The god hinted that Ki could play a vital role in his journey, though mastering it would require effort, growth, and understanding.
Soon Y/N awoke in the mysterious land of Gensokyo, a vibrant and perilous world teeming with Youkai, spell card battles, and ancient secrets. However, he was still very much human, and survival in Gensokyo required both skill and courage, his new life began now!
