1. Touhou Rei'iden Back Story
Here in an eastern country is a small shrine, the Hakurei Shrine.
Due to the fact that many unusual events took place here, normal people seldom came near it.
However, there was a reason that no non-human things ever
came down into populated areas...
And that was because for many generations, this shrine has held a
woman with the power to communicate with God, a "shrine maiden" in other words.
As for why such a small shrine has such a powerful shrine maiden?
Because here there is a Gate which connects to Hell and the spirit realm where the "non-human things" live.
Long ago, to seal away the phantoms and demons that appeared,
shamans and exorcists from all over the country were gathered together.
The sealing was a success... but, the recoil was so tremendous it annihilated everyone present.
Time passed, and even a seal of that much power has come to fade in effectiveness.
The shrine maiden here, in order to stop the non-human things from reaching the cities,
has trained intensely to fight enemies she can't possibly beat;
even knowing it was futile she headed for the Gate, ready to sacrifice herself.
.

Yeah, right.
Truth is, she's the "always gets caught up in weird things" shrine maiden Reimu Hakurei.
Something non-human destroyed her shrine, and she's mad as hell.
The only thing that will cool her off is the total annihilation of all non-human beings!!
...is half wrong, anyway.
The *true* truth is, Reimu Hakurei is quite an easygoing person.
Even this time around, she only entered the Gate on a whim.
And she only realized that the sole effective weapon against the devils
here is the Hakurei Shrine's greatest treasure, the Yin-Yang Orb, after
she had been here for a while.
Reimu: "Eh, whatever. If I use this Yin-Yang orb well enough, it'll all work out, right?"
Who knows what'll become of her...
Dramatis Personae

Heroine
Reimu Hakurei
Shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine, She has some spirit-power by nature, but lacks training. Her weapon is mighty Yin-Yang orb, but her control is somewhat unstable.
But anyway, with her spirit-power, she has got quite some skills. Her usual attacks -namely amulet-attacks, spirit-power discharging, melee skills- they're totally useless against her current enemies. She's in some trouble.
At present, she is the only person in the shrine.
Update 1: Stage 1-5
PATH SELETION: Do we go into Demon World and kick some demons' shit in, or do we go into the depths of Hell and kick THEIR shit in??
