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

Su Heiming was listening intently to his subordinate's report.

"There are news coming from the Mohadi Domain. People other than Mr Benji were all knocked down and he seems to be having a nervous breakdown because upon returning to his tribe, he hasn't been seen in public for once. No one has any idea about what they had been through, not even their King as Mr Benji refuses to answer the King's call-in by pretending to be sick. They sent a new team to fulfil our mutual agreement but two of the new members had disappeared since entering Heavenly Federation. We tailed the two suspects once we realized it and it has been confirmed that their target will most probably be Tang Hanpei."

"Tang Hanpei?" Su Heiming narrowed his eyes, his expression dark and tension arose. The subordinate who was reporting his findings held his breath as he was afraid to step on Su Heiming's mine.

"Yes sir! I dare not make any decision on this matter. Please convey me your instructions!"
