No, you need money to get all you need.

That's it for me. Have a great day guys.

Inspired by >>3143052 : post a picture and a short story to go with that picture.

The end of the world took only a few weeks.

Of course, it was never intended as such. The nanovirus was the final weapon in a war between two neighboring states. Which side released the plague... matters not at this point. It was supposed to destroy all those of the opposing faction, detecting its victims by genetic signature--but just as with natural viruses, man-made ones can have errors in replication as well.

The vast majority of the world was on neither side of the conflict, but that didn't matter to the virus, which had no heed for national boundaries.

The Youkai were not heartless; had they known, perhaps some would have used their powers to try to save some of humanity. But nobody in Gensokyo noticed.

The first to discover the truth was Yukari, two months after the end of the world. Initially she tried to revert the catastrophe, but even her powers were not great enough to change such a vast event. Annoyed and somewhat distraught, she kept her discovery a secret for some time, but others soon noticed the lack of outsiders showing up. Korindou grew empty of new merchandise. Three years later, Yukari made her announcement.

"The Hakurei Border is no more."
