A man died during the pandemic in 2020, but as he closed his eyes for the last time, something stirred in his mind. When he opened them, he discovered that he had been reborn in what appeared to be ancient China, yet he retained all his memories from the future. 

Let us follow Shen Mu, as he makes his way in a world he knows nothing about and learns the truth about the world, and his mission as a cultivator.

Can his memories of the future help in a place where magic is real? And what is that other presence in his mind?

Rebirth and Reincarnation

Against even my worst predictions, we arrived at the western border without further trouble. Yet, I still felt tense and I probably wouldn’t rest until I saw Master Fa. 


We made a beeline to the Fa family estate and were received by the man himself who, while looking older as the last time I saw him, did not really appear his age. 


Min, of course, greeted the old man with familiarity while I stood back. When the man’s eyes turned to me, I went to one knee and cupped my fist in salute “This Shen Mu greets Master Fa and wishes him a happy birthday.” 


I heard the man chuckle, and he returned his salute, after which he pulled me to my feet to look me over. “This master is glad to see his student has not been slacking off.” 


“Never, master. Never.” I smiled. It was a ritualistic joke between us. Unlike most of his other students, I was the first one in the dojo and the last to leave. Sometimes he had to drag me away from practice to study or do something else.
