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

That young person was a worker for the explosively popular Elemental Fantasy Platform. He had been specifically sent to Pomelo. The middle-aged man beside him was the general manager of the Zheng De Trading House.

The Elemental Fantasy Platform had some connection with Chen Mu, in fact. Its founder was none other than the low-grade fantasy card club where Chen Mu had been while in Eastern Shang-Wei City. As the inventor of the card receiver, the low-grade fantasy card club had the opportunity to establish the first platform. It was the largest platform in the federation, apart from the federation government's official platform. By that time, the low-grade fantasy card club's influence had shot up many levels from former times.

Bai Zheyuan, the person at the helm, evidently had awesome moves!
