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 Chen Mu opened his eyes, a sharp radiance flashed on his cold pupils. He grew excited as he sensed the tiny growth in his body. This One Breath Perception Training Guide had been exceptionally effective and had far surpassed what he had imagined. He had only managed to barely complete all the steps today. The entire process of completion was rather bumpy and had been riddled with failures.

Even so, he had still managed to sense a clear growth in only one day. At this speed, it would not take him long to breakthrough into Level 7 Perception. However, he was still at the early phase of practicing this training guide. He needed to meditate quietly while his training process hadn't gone smoothly at all.

Only when he could integrate all 43 steps of this training guide into his regular breathing process would he be truly powerful. It was quite curious who the creator of this One Breath Perception Training Guide was. It was truly quite powerful.
