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

I lost track of time those first few days. Everything was a blur until his family arrived. I didn’t dare fall asleep in case he needed me for anything. 


He was sweating buckets despite being given over a gram of paracetamol to fight the fever, and even with an oxygen mask over his handsome face, he was still struggling to breathe. 


As soon as his mother saw us, she gave me a big warm hug that woke me up from the daze I had been in. 


“How is he?” she asked, and I sighed. 


“They don’t know what’s wrong with him yet. He's having breathing difficulties and that is what’s worrying everybody.” I grabbed his hand and caressed his fingers, praying to any and all deities I never even believed in to save him.
