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.

"What's that on your back?" Chen Mu asked, curious.

Xiaobo seemed to fancy making gaudy things like that. He was extremely talented at it, too. Even as a card master, Chen Mu couldn't figure out how the glowing halo had been made. It didn't seem to be merely fashionable; he could feel a faint yet strange fluctuation from it.

"Heh, cool, isn't it? I spent quite a lot of time on this." Xiaobo grinned. "I call it the Orderly Wave Wheel. Everyone thinks it's cool, man! Even Mr. Bogner eyed it for a long time!"

"Orderly Wave Wheel…" Chen Mu chewed at the words carefully. The wave it emitted was subtle. Even Chen Mu could only feel a faint sign of it.

He then nudged Xiaobo. "Let's go get you a mask first, yeah?"

"A mask? Come on, Boss. Why do you want to hide my handsome face?" Xiaobo objected with a frown.
