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.

Alfonso’s Kind Intentions

編集者: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"What is it?" Chen Mu's gaze had fallen onto a bizarrely shaped object in the corner. It was metallic and about eight or nine meters long. Its surface parts had corroded, some of them all the way through. It had two thin wings that looked like bird wings. Compared with its huge wings, the body was a lot smaller—long and narrow like a shuttle—with a beautiful, slightly curved shape.

"It's a flying device generally used for short flights." Unexpectedly, the one responding was the system.

"Flying device? Ha, I actually didn't guess wrong!" Alfonso was nearly dancing in his excitement.

That sort of flying device looked very rudimentary, and Chen Mu was discouraged to compare it with the shuttle cars he'd seen.

Seeing Chen Mu's interest flagging, Alfonso couldn't help but laugh as he said, "Doesn't the teacher want to leave the jungle? You should be able to depend on this flying device for that."
