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

 Shen Mu traversed the door and glared at the demon waiting on the other side, all around it were the broken and half-eaten bodies of the imperial soldiers that had attacked them before. 


 “Hungry?” I asked, putting forward the arm of one of the men. It had been torn from its socket and still bled profusely. 


 Shen Mu shook his head, and the demon shrugged. 


 “Your loss. Human flesh is a delicacy, it tastes li-” 


 The demon stopped what it was doing to stare at its enemy, squinting. “So, you have tasted it!” 


 Shen Mu shook his head again. How to explain that it was common knowledge in the year 2020? Ignoring the demon as it continued eating, he closed his eyes for a moment before adopting the dragon guard. 


 The demon’s demeanor changed the instant it felt a shift in the air. Something about its enemy was different… something elemental… primordial.
