“The fear that once plagued their hearts start to fade.”

“By these idols all of their dreams have made.”

“I was created from the light to come to their aid.”

“To banish the wicked into the bottomless shade.”

You descend into Hell, each step heavier than the last as the world above slips away. The ground blackens beneath you, scorched and cracked, while the air thickens with heat and the stench of sulfur. Chains dangle from unseen heights, creaking in the stillness, and distant wails echo through the dark like memories you were never meant to hear. Shadows writhe just out of sight, and something deep within the earth pulses — slow, steady, alive. You follow that rhythm, drawn not by curiosity, but by something older and harder to resist.

At the heart of the abyss, a glowing rift splits the ground, swirling with chaotic colors that make your skin crawl. It isn't magic — it’s instinct, raw and primal. The portal calls to you like a predator does prey, and before doubt can catch up, you step through. The heat of Hell vanishes in an instant. The world twists, then snaps into focus, wild, loud, alive. The landscape seems friendly enough, yet the presences here seem far from welcoming.

In the depths of the Animal Realm, you feel as if someone is watching over you. Will the lands claim your soul, or will freedom await you at the end?

Touhou Unbound

Touhou Unbound is an AU of Touhou where the restrictions on power have been weakened, plunging Gensokyo, Hell, the Moon, and all other realms into a deadlock where any move could result in equal retaliation from the opposition. Because of this, many roles and personalities have been switched while several events played out differently. Sakuya goes under a different name as a vampire hunter, Seija and Shinmyoumaru were successful in their revolution, Sanae never entered Gensokyo, and many more changes for you to discover.

Double digit bots!!!! This time I decided to make the Animal Realm because I thought it was a really cool location. I decided to do Keiki first because I believe that she would be a better introduction to the realm than the faction leaders. Also thank you guys for 25 followers! I’m gonna make s special Touhou Unbound bot just for this occasion. It’s definitely going to be out of my comfort zone so feel free to guess the character. Once again, leave suggestions and requests, and have fun!
