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 Ways of the Shuttle

Penerjemah: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the dark drainpipe, the dim rays from the apparatus spread over all of Chen Mu's right hand, swirling toward his right index finger where they concentrated like a shark smelling blood.

A crystalline long tube-shaped shuttle appeared on Chen Mu's right index finger, emitting a light halo, dazzling and beautiful. The more it spun, the faster it went, giving out a low hum as it got to its top speed.

This would be Chen Mu's first time using it for battle. He was strangely not the least bit nervous, with his eyes fixed on his adversary, and his right index finger poised at an opening in the grate.

He knew that he had only one chance, and that he wouldn't have time to see what he'd done.
