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.

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

“Well, you never gave me your name, and I must call you something. So, I will keep on inventing them until you either tell me or I guess it.” 


The beast rolled its eyes before they landed on my father once more. “What of you, son of Adan? What is your name?”
