Basically, I've given up on trying to plan everything out from the start. I have some general plans for the future of the world and a decent amount of the world planned out. But trying to plan everything out from the start is just preventing me from writing.

As such, I just want one last poll before I start writing again. (Well, that's not quite right. I've already started writing again, but it would be easy to adapt what I've written to match any of the options you guys select.)

Anyways, I need to fill out the 500 word count so I can post. So here's my general idea for the re-write.

- He won't be a reincarnation with a system. It's just hard for me to mesh the whole "system" idea with the rest of the world. I've been toying with the idea of a story where a person is in a game world that follows cultivation rules and everybody has a system, but odds are I won't end up writing it. (Or maybe I will! But it would definitely only be something I did after making serious progress on this story. I refuse to let myself be distracted out of re-writing this!)

- I've absolutely been influenced by a few other stories I've read. The most prominent influence some people will probably notice is Reverand Insanity. It's a story I avoided for a while because the name, summary, and first few chapters made me think the story wouldn't be something I'd enjoy. But then I finally tried it and it's now one of my absolute favorites. Real shame that it's on hiatus right now. Apparently it has a staunch group of haters in China that mass reported it, so the author is currently banned from writing any more of it.

- A big part of cultivation is something called Remnants. So, when a person with a connection to the Dao dies, they leave behind a remnant. Cultivators use remnants to create and talismans and artifacts, as well as to boost their own magical abilities.
