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 (2)

"Kill them!" the triggered Sir Elmo looked utterly pale. He broke down mentally under the immense fear and shouted hysterically.

Military orders could not be disobeyed. The city army initiated their attack immediately despite their fears. 

The reason Fort Mendelssohn could keep their independent stance was because of Sir Elmo's well-trained city army. Since the fort was placed on the outskirts of the Hundred Depths, every flexster recruited into the city army was extraordinary and skilled. 

The archers and the sling shooters were the first attackers. As bows and slingshots were the flexters' primary ranged weapon, many majored in these two weapons. Rondoch and Hofn were the most prominent ones among them. Rondoch was the leader of the archers while Hofn led the sling shooters.
