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

There was a moment of silence before the whole world around me shook as the pale dragon gained some color; its scales turned snow-white, and its eyes pale green. 


“I…I feel…” It said with an older version of Yin’s voice. It gazed at its claws with wonder. “I am…alive?” 


“Marduk!” I called its name, and the dragon turned to me with a curious expression. It was a mixture of wonder, reluctance, and awe. 


“Shixian…?” It tasted my name on its lips, like a child that speaks for the first time. “Yes, you are her, but also not. Who are you?” 


“Does it matter right now? Shouldn’t we be trying to heal Mu?” 


The dragon turned from me to stare at the colorless body of its master, then nodded. 


“We should. But I’m still not strong enough.” It hesitated before added, “I might never be.” Then, before I could berate him to say anything else, it added, “I hurt him bad, and then hurt him further by locking his memories…I don’t think he will ever forgive me.”
