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.

The closer he got to the jungle, the more he felt the air dampen, but it was very different from the dampness in the drain pipes. This moist air was full of a smell of freshness, which made a person relaxed and carefree. Chen Mu's spirits were lifted.

Just as Chen Mu was being intoxicated by the novelty of the dense forest, something dark and black plunged out from the jungle, coming straight for him!

It was too fast! The long dark thing grabbed his ankle before he could respond. At almost the same time, a strong force came up through his ankle and he quickly lost his stability, as he fell to the ground with a thump.

Was there a snake?

Chen Mu's mind tensed, but things were happening so fast that before he could fight back he had lost his balance. Once his ankle was bound, Chen Mu was dragged toward the jungle by a tremendous force.
