The Card Apprentice

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.

Chen Mu hadn't expected to encounter the enemies. He had fled in a completely random path a moment ago and had no idea in what direction it took him. But he reacted exceptionally quickly and subconsciously altered his course again. Chen Mu's figure was seen twisting like waves with peculiarly high frequency, and the surrounding air was crackling under its effect.

Mo Ta looked a little surprised. He knew of that direction change; it had an academic name called wave-shaped, high-frequency evasion. It was an extremely difficult battle tactic, and rare were the ones who could accomplish it. In assessments of flight, its points had never decreased. During card artisan level appraisals, almost no one would choose that battle tactic to take part in the assessment, despite its points being so high.
