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.

In the Name of the Murderer (1)

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Andre patrolled the streets with his men. "Sir, do you think that the rumor is true?" one of his men approached and asked softly. The topic immediately sparked the other member's interest. Everyone gathered over and started gossiping. 

"The rumor is too strange. I think that it's fake.""I don't think so. Many described it vividly. I don't think it can be faked." With a fit of annoyance, Andre couldn't help scolding his men, "Shut up, all of you!" Finishing his sentence, he moved on with a grim expression. Realizing their leader's rage, the others went silent and followed him quickly. 

Andre had a sturdy build. At almost 1.9 meters tall, he was like a small hill. The muscles on his body were strong like iron. From his physique, nobody would've thought that he was from the Sword and Shield Sect. His maroon hair was messy like weeds, and his eyes were sharp and intimidating, forcing others to avert their gaze.
