This is both a work of science fiction and an exploration of the meaning of life, love, literature and art. Brainpower is no longer the main ingredient for being human in this far distant future world.  Spirituality, physical balance, and diligence all come together as integrity for Chen Mu, the Card Apprentice.  The cards which Chen Mu masters in his own scrappy way, distill all the powers of the cosmos –  human and nonhuman –  into something that is not a book, not technology, and neither art nor magic, but is these and more.  Learn about these strange cards, which can embody everything you might imagine for the future of technology, but also a future beyond technology which promotes the best, and sometimes the worst, from mankind’s past.

The Card Apprentice

When he was on the grass at Eastern Wei Academy that sunny day, it was that voice which had come from behind him. It had reminding him of being stymied by that fantasy card. He still remembered that voice very clearly, having helped himself to much deeper detail than what was in that mysterious card.

His gaze turned in that direction of a sudden.

The group around 'Allah' Gong slowly stood up one by one, looking at Ma Siying with malicious intent.

By that time, most of those who had been in the classroom had left, with only a few remaining.

Just then, someone next to 'Allah' Gong noticed Zuo Tingyi and Hong Tao sitting toward the last row. His face instantly changed color and he tugged at 'Allah' Gong.

'Allah' Gong also noticed Zuo Tingyi, and his face also changed. He'd heard of Zuo Tingyi since entering the school, and so he'd been avoiding any conflict with him. He hadn't imagined that he would finally run into it.
