Fang Xiang

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

It happened to be the same grade seven card artisans, however, there was an apparent gap between the Big Six and the non-Big Six.

This was the first time Chen Mu saw the six grade seven card artisans. The grade seven card artisans of Big Six were portrayed like knights with sophisticated equipment, however, the six grade seven card artisans in front him on the other hand, appeared to be like the bandits with just simple weapons. The sign of systematic training could be markedly seen from the behavior of the grade seven card artisan of Big Six. It gave people an impression of a regular army when the six card artisans of Big Six stood together. Although the murderous aura of the six card artisans of grade seven in front of Chen Mu was no less adept, they gave him an impression of a gang of bandits from the mountain.

Six pair of eyes were staring at Chen Mu the moment he stepped into the hall, it was as if he was being stared at by six wolves.
