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

One of our scouts was running for his life, being chased by a group of mounted archers and four men on foot. My parents would have certainly found the image of men running on par with horses a strange one, but at this time and age, it was almost common. I would even say that the fact that horses could run as fast as cultivators was strange. 


I was already close when the scout made the mistake of looking away from the road and fell on his face; the pursuers lifted their bows, taking aim before releasing a barrage of arrows while those on foot pushed their advantage. 


"Baihu!" I shouted and witnessed something that would otherwise be impossible for me: I raised one arm and launched a gale of wind from my open palm. It crossed the space in a matter of seconds and scattered all their arrows, making them land away from my man, giving me time to close the distance and reach him before our enemies.
