Kumitzin

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- I don’t know how I should feel!” Using gestures, I expressed, “I am anxious about meeting the Grand Master. I want so bad to see him and reconnect after so long, but… at the same time, I understand that he’s not the same person I met before. Our last meeting was a blink of an eye for me, but for him, it has been more than half a millennium. Will he be able to recognize me? Will he want to? He already has children, grandchildren, and perhaps many more generations after that…what could I hope to offer him? 


“And then there’s that other woman, that Khutulun, which I must impersonate for the dragon to let me into the inner sanctum. I already feel dirty just because I must wear something from his previous wife, and now…what if he doesn’t see me but he sees his wife?” I shook my head, finally letting go of the fears and stress that had burdened me. At that moment I wasn’t the powerful warrior, nor the strongest cultivator, I simply was myself with all my insecurities and fears.
