Unimaginable horrors spoken by those who would proclaim themselves sleuth
Untempered by discernment, taken at face value by this credulous youth
Weave through this sea of misinformation with this singular, undeniable truth:
Touhou World Cup 2026 begins May 16.

From beyond, an existential threat the likes never-before-seen
From the power of fantasy, rises echoes of what could have been

To live an unremarkable life in the cycle of rebirth and demise?
Or to entrust all of one's stakes in fate's unpredictable dice?

To be forgotten is to be accepted into fantasy, yet fantasy could not seem to accept all which was forgotten.
Our players set out to face possibly the greatest challenge thus far -
