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

Chen Mu did not know the Shadow Bee mentioned by the Demonic Woman, but now he clearly witnessed the little fella's terrifying attack power. Moreover, it was so strong, it could make the Demonic Woman anxious. Its lightning speed alone was enough to strain Chen Mu's nerves.

Suddenly, his vision was a blur, and the creature disappeared from his sight again, shocking Chen Mu. He subconsciously moved his body. Almost at the same time, a flash of light struck at the position he stood a moment ago.

So fast! A chill ran through Chen Mu's heart. If it weren't for his breakthrough just now, being alerted by State Zero, he would definitely have been beheaded by that flash of light! Before entering the Federation, it was quite rare for him to be threatened by a wild creature, even deep in the jungle.
