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

Frustration is a terrible aid. It saps our strength and sours our mood. 


But what is worse is that it makes way to terrible thoughts and ideas. It can kill motivation and leave us feeling overwhelmed by despair. 


And that is precisely where I was—frustrated with myself, with Selene, with the world, with my fate. More than once, I considered simply giving up, just letting the fall kill me. 


Thankfully, I didn’t. Invariably, some other idea would occupy my mind right when I was considering giving up like that. 


After a while, I gave up trying to give up and continued on my way upward. Although it felt slow, it was better than trying to come down and then having to go up and run again. 


“Come on, Shixian. Get a hold of yourself.” 


By the time I finally came to the top, I was up to celebrate the fact that I had any strength left at all.
