It is meant to be a parody of Chinese cultivation novels and using their tropes.

The translator Deathblade asked the question, “What Chinese fantasy novel cliches do you dislike the most?” and this is my answer.

You can answer his survey here, I think.

I wanted to write a ongoing fiction for the longest time, but kept getting stuck. This year, my resolution is to write at least 100 chapters of 2000 words. I began with the “Human Slayer” concept, but kept depressing myself with the sad and crazy backgrounds I gave characters.

This novel will be much simpler.

This takes place in a world of fantasy where there are mages knights and all different types of things. A Teenager by the name of Summer Tulip goes to work for the first time and there she meets somebody that will changer her life forever whether it be for the worst or best.

"YAYYYYYYYYY! FINALLY I GOT THE CHANCE OF WHAT I HAD ALWAYS DREAMT OF!", Nephi is screaming so loud in an odd time it's already around 8pm and her voice is even heard by all the neighbors. "CAN YOU PLEASE STOP SCREAMING NEPHI!", her mom is shouting from downstairs. "Sorry mom", says Nephi. Now Nephi's bedroom is full of scatterd papers. She is searching something which will help her to fulfill her dream. I know now you all are very eager to know what Nephi is searching for and what is her secret hobby! Her secret hobby is that she....is...writing....her own book. 
As we all know Nephi is a Fantasy dreamer, she has various ideas about fantasy stuff. So one day she decided that she will put all her fantasy thoughts together in the form of a book. She had been doing this all the time but, she did not share this hobby with anyone because she was afraid that if she shares this with anyone then they will all tease her and bully her. Even her parents were unaware of this hobby of hers because they also dicouraged Nephi from thinking and doing some fantasy stuff which was of no use. Nephi started her fantasy book journey since a year by now it has not yet got completed because she had no time in completing it, but she has done a few pages though. 
Now Nephi is very worried because all the pages of her book has been scattered and mixed up all the other pages. She is trying to put all her book's pages together because when she was scrolling through in the internet she found out that there is gonna be a book review compitation in their city Alistor. A famous aouther will be visiting the city on the coming Sunday and he is going to be reviewing the books written by the people of Alistor, and the best book will be featured in the famous magazine called the FANTASTIC STORIES. The winner also will be awarded with best book trophy. So if Nephi turns out to be the winner her story is going to get fame and name. By this she can proove herself to her parents and friends, who used to discourage her. 
Its already late night, Nephi is still putting her papers and story together then suddenly she realises that tommorow is Monday and she has school. Her parents will be visiting to the school along with her. She is completely Freaked out. She decides not to think too much about anything and goes to bed because tomorrow is creepy day for her. She's hoping for the best.
[Hey guys its the aouther here! I hope u are enjoying the book. So Monday is going to be a creepy day for Nephi. Lets all hope for the best. And keep supporting.]

Its the story of a girl, through her fantasy drems. It depicts the power of a girl, who can fight through anything to achive her dreams. Its going to be a fantasy story with the connection of real life.

I'm not sure why I hadn't thought of this earlier as most my stories are basically Fantasy with a capital F so let me get right into it. What separates 'Fantasy' from 'Contemporary' works isn't just where it's set but also the level of contrivances that are allowed.

As I've said before, every story allows a certain level of contrived scenarios where Destiny and Fate are actually a thing. Fantasy stories in particular work best when you go all in on your imagination.

I know you all have had it drilled into your brains that a certain level of 'realism' is needed even in a fantasy story. However, what most mean by that isn't adding the laws of physics to your story but keeping it internally consistent with clear laws and limits.

I'm pretty sure you guys don't need a rundown in how society works because fantasy societies work the same way expect they have the word 'Magic' added to them. Do NOT rip off Elves and Dwarves from the Lord of the Rings and flex the creative muscles in your brain a little. There's no limit to the kind of magical races you can make in a Fantasy!

This also applies to magic. However, people only remember limitations more than what a persons using Magic System can generally do since 'magic is omnipotent unless proven otherwise'. There will be no narrative stakes or tension if you can't even make sure random nobodies aren't shooting off nukes and your main character isn't invincible beyond measure.

There are people who tend to overthink about how to write Fantasy since it's such a popular genre everyone and their dog is writing. You don't need someone else's guideline to write a Fantasy since most good Author's base them out of existing literature of the past or modern ones they are retelling using their own tropes and characters.

You'll never get anywhere if you need someone else to flex your creativity when looking into the past brings forth many mystical stories and myths that all wouldn't be possible without a little bit of magic sprinkled onto them. The classic LitRPG genre with stuff like Guilds and Adventures is popular to use nowadays but only because you don't have to explain much in a story that's so easy to figure out.

If you're going to use the LitRPG setting with dungeons and dragons, make sure you make it character driven and focus on people rather than explaining how fireballs work. The only reason Slime Reincarnation (That Time I Reincarnating As A Slime) or Sword Dad (I Was A Sword When I Reincarnated) are so popular is because behind the Power Fantasy are well-written and diverse characters.

If you want to write your own Fantasy World unique to only you, then it's best to start researching ways to ground it with your audience. These days people want to read about 'people' more than someone dumping lore about a fictional world they don't care about. Even pure Fantasy stories needs a protagonist that can be the reader's eyes and ears.

Now, thanks to the Isekai Boom, you may think that a main character HAS to be reincarnated for basically no reason whatsoever. However, that is ill-advised as people reincarnated for trivial reasons bore the audience to death. There's this Fantasy story about this non-reincarnated girl who was raised by Death himself in a regular medieval magic world, causing her to be a mix of creepy and cute all at the same time. This is an example of the kind of plots which are interesting BECAUSE their MC is a member of this world but special rather than some random guy from Earth who just so happens to be Isekai'd.

Isekai can be done right when the main character's rebirth or transportation into this world holds some sort of meaning. However, it can turn into a very boring story with maybe one or two gimmicks if you aren't even thinking of an ending for it.

Getting back to the main point: You seriously won't be able to write a Fantasy properly unless you at least know something about characters (If you haven't already figured that out already).

How the life of this character, under the special upbringing that only those of your Fantasy World go through, is interesting to the reader depends of where you take the tropes of your regular Fantasy.

You can go the 'Epic Fantasy' route, then copying the Hero's Journey is fine as long as you switch it up a bit. As long as you understand the fundamentals of a Hero's Journey and not look at it as the ONLY WAY TO TELL A STORY then you're on the right track.

Those who are wondering what a Hero's Journey is can find the link at the bottom. Also try searching for Dan Harmon's Story Circle for a more character driven version of it on YouTube. Anyway, this trope is basically the origin of the whole 'Chosen One' trope.

As for what I meant by Epic Fantasy, it is actually quite beloved type of story for many who love the Fantasy genre. It could be about the journey about a chosen one destined to defeat a Big Baddy like Eragon, Lord of the Rings, etc. There are even shorter and more simplified versions of this which is basically where the 'Hero Vs Demon King' trope came from. As long as there's a quest fraught with danger then people would love to read about a chosen one being able to win against their foes.

Another route you can take is Dark Fantasy, where all the lovely tales of HP Lovecraft comes from. His stories may lean more on the spectrum of supernatural tales about Dark Gods and Cults but the way everything seems to be ripped out of a nightmare is what I'm trying to focus on. If a regular Fantasy is like a dream then a Dark Fantasy is one you'd rather avoid since the world is screwed up.

And I don't mean the characters are screwed up or insane by any means, I literally mean either the Magic System or how society works is genuinely screwed up. Read 'Dungeon Seeker' as an example of this (Warning: Don't read it if you don't want to pollute your innocent mind with all the corruption in this story). Either way, it could be the Magic System relies on the blood of orphans, or it could be you have to kill a loved every time you cast a spell. The main point is that this Fantasy World is just hell.

Now, I could move on to Urban Fantasy and other sub-genres, but that would be wasting my time and yours since TV Tropes exists for a reason. Just remember what I've said and have a clear goal in beginning and end planned for your character's development and you'll be fine. There's nothing better than a story that's focused after all.

HelloFutureMe and others on YouTube such as OverlySarcasticProductions have more to say on this subject.

This is a story I worked on ages ago that has been refined and edited by adding foreshadowing to events while also simplifying the power system better than before. This story can be considered a prequel to An Adventure Beyond Greatness as it takes place years prior to the events of that story.

Short Synopsis:
After retiring from the battlefield, my life became empty and lifeless. The regrets of my past haunt me in my sleep. Then a change occurred, a King from another world summoned me to fight for his kingdom, but I died even before I could give him my answer. Now, after a fake God allowed me to reincarnate (albeit imperfectly) with my memories intact, into a world filled with magic and swords.

Long Synopsis:
This is about a flawed protagonist who only knew to rely on others and not socialise who gets a second chance to change himself in order to live the life he aimed for in his past life. The narrator isn’t exactly trustworthy since it is purely in his bias perspective while other perspectives given by others fill in the blanks that he either leaves out or twists to suit the situation.

The story itself can be considered a parody of Isekai’s classic tropes which are given a sense of reality as time goes by. As there exists no ‘Demon Lord’, there is also no black and white, only characters opinions and counter-opinions throughout the story.

"The Celestial Sky Society again!?" Bai Xiaochun's eyes flickered with icy coldness. Clenching his hand into a fist around the black medicinal powder in his palm, he looked around at the Azure Dragon Society cultivators and said, "How well do the Fantasy Pills sell?"
The two orange-robed cultivators were panting, and their eyes were shining brightly. One of them quickly responded, "They sell great! We usually distribute a few hundred pills per month, and that's just us. If you counted all of the north district, the sales would probably be tens of thousands per month. As for Sky City as a whole, probably 200,000 or more. One Fantasy Pill is worth 50 merit points, so that's the equivalent of at least 10,000,000 merit points per month!"
When Bai Xiaochun heard that, his eyes almost turned green, and he began to pant. "If the Celestial Sky Society can use my hallucination smoke to earn merit points, then so can I!
"All of you, wait here for me. I'll concoct some high-quality Fantasy Pills for you to sell!" With that, he rushed into his room and slammed the door behind him.
The Azure Dragon Society members looked over at Master God-Diviner, hearts filled with curiosity over what was to come.
"Master God-Diviner, is it true that our boss really invented the Fantasy Pill?"
"Is our boss really an apothecary? Can he... can he really concoct Fantasy Pills? Heavens! If that's true, then good times are definitely to come!!"
Master God-Diviner was more excited than anyone, but he didn't let it show on his face. Looking around, he smiled faintly, and then gave a confident nod.
"Don't you worry," he said. "I can't speak for the boss when it comes to other matters, but I can tell you that my junior patriarch is the best there is at medicine concocting!"
When the Azure Dragon Society heard that, their anticipation grew, and it was almost possible to see them calculating their future profits.
As soon as Bai Xiaochun entered his room, he waved his hand, summoning several dozen pill furnaces from his bag of holding. These were furnaces that he had collected back in the River-Defying Sect, and were all different sizes and shapes. Considering how familiar he was with the hallucination smoke, he didn't plan to produce just one batch of Fantasy Pills at a time. He was going to concoct multiple batches simultaneously!
The main thing he was concerned about was maintaining a standard of quality. After all, these pills weren't designed to be used in war, so he needed to control the hallucinatory effects. And that meant he had to control the strength of the pills.
Of course, Bai Xiaochun had invented the hallucination smoke to begin with, so his ability to do that vastly exceeded that of the Celestial Sky Society's apothecary. He was completely confident that he would be able to concoct Fantasy Pills that were on a whole different level than the trash produced by the Celestial Sky Society.
In terms of how to actually contain the hallucination smoke, the black coating on the Celestial Sky Society's Fantasy Pills had given him a bit of inspiration. After studying it a bit, he improved it, and then managed to actually fuse the smoke itself with the coating!
Time passed, and outside, the Azure Dragon Society waited in eager anticipation. Three days later, Bai Xiaochun emerged, eyes bloodshot but shining with excitement. Waving his sleeve, he sent out countless violet medicinal pills from his bag of holding. As they piled up on the ground, they formed a small mountain of more than a thousand pills.
The Azure Dragon Society members were shaking with excitement. Then, one of the cultivators clasped hands and bowed to Bai Xiaochun, hurried forward and carefully picked up one of the pills. After placing it into his mouth, he closed his eyes, and within moments, a look of intoxicated pleasure appeared on his face. Throwing his head back, he howled with complete and utter madness.
Clearly, he was experiencing no side-effects. As for the other cultivators, they knew that an important test was being performed, so they watched closely. After the time it takes an incense stick to burn, the cultivator still hadn't woken up from his reverie, and everyone else started to get very excited.
"The Celestial Sky Society's Fantasy Pill lasts for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, but boss's pill lasts for even longer than that!"
"And from the look of it, there are no harmful side-effects whatsoever!!" Even as the Azure Dragon Society devolved into a hubbub, another incense stick's worth of time passed. Only then did the cultivator's eyes open.
Although he seemed to be in a bit of a daze, he was clearly satisfied in an unprecedented way. After a long moment passed, he regained his senses. Trembling, he said, "The hallucination was much more realistic than the Fantasy Pills from the Celestial Sky Society! And easier to manipulate! In fact, after a certain point, I completely lost myself! I didn't need to control the hallucination at all: it did everything I wanted. How pure! How unadulterated. This... this is what a Fantasy Pill is supposed to be like!!!"
The rest of the Azure Dragon Society grew even more excited. Panting, the cultivators looked at the pile of Fantasy Pills and realized that it was essentially a huge pile of merit points.
One of the orange-robed cultivators excitedly said, "Boss, if you let us sell these Fantasy Pills, we can clear the stock in two months at the most!"
As of this moment, Bai Xiaochun truly was like nobility to these cultivators, a grand figure who existed on a different level than them.
Bai Xiaochun was tired, but looked excited, and was clearly pleased with the quality of the Fantasy Pills he had concocted. Looking at Master God-Diviner, he said, "For now, steer clear of the Celestial Sky Society. When the time comes to butt heads with them, I don't just want a little scuffle...."
Master God-Diviner saw the gleam in Bai Xiaochun's eyes, and after a moment of thought, nodded. In recent days, he had made some inquiries of his own, and had heard stories of Apothecary Bai from the east district, and the methods the Celestial Sky Society had used in dealing with his Ultra Fasting Aid Pill.
His information had left him ninety percent that Bai Xiaochun and Apothecary Bai were one and the same. As of now, he was completely convinced, and also understood why Bai Xiaochun had disguised his appearance. In fact, he still hadn't even revealed his name to the Azure Dragon Society.
"Celestial Sky Society...." Master God-Diviner thought, his eyes narrowing. Almost immediately, countless nefarious plans sprang up in his mind, which he began to explain to the rest of the Azure Dragon Society.
Bai Xiaochun remained off to the side, completely satisfied with Master God-Diviner's performance. With Master God-Diviner at his side, he didn't feel like a lone wolf anymore.
At this point, he suddenly thought about Xu Baocai and the others. "If only the rest of you merciless betrayers could turn over a new leaf. I can't believe you just abandoned me...."
Depressed, he went back to his room to practice cultivation.
After Master God-Diviner finished explaining all of his plans, the Azure Dragon Society went to work. They even got their friends and family involved in selling the Fantasy Pills. Considering that the Azure Dragon Society had been around for more than a hundred years, they had good relations with many of the other small organizations in the north district. As such, the Fantasy Pill sales started out with a bang.
Most of the merit points they earned were spent on recruitment efforts. Life was hard in Sky City, so as long as enough merit points were offered, there would be no shortage of people willing to join up.
Bai Xiaochun had plenty to keep him busy. To keep up with demand, he had to concoct more and more Fantasy Pills, until he was concocting them in batches of fifty at a time.
With the Fantasy Pills to support them, the Azure Dragon Society was able to fully call upon its hundred years of connections and history. With the help of Master God-Diviner's plans and schemes, their numbers grew in shockingly rapid fashion.
As their territory expanded, cultivators came constantly, hoping to join. Fantasy Pill sales skyrocketed, until all of the north district was shaken.
Because of how vice-boss Master God-Diviner had arranged everything, the Celestial Sky Society still hadn't noticed what was happening. Although only half a month had passed so far, that half month had seen heaven-shaking, earth-toppling changes for the Azure Dragon Society.
Eventually, the Celestial Sky Society finally took note of what was happening. Ten days after that, it had been a full month since the Azure Dragon Society began their big expansion. They had reinvested all of the merit points into their growth plans, and Bai Xiaochun had even decided to go all in by selling his crocodile mount to help out. By that point, the Azure Dragon Society had over a thousand members.
In Sky City, that didn't really count as anything amazing in terms of membership, but it was big enough that it was a cause for concern for the Celestial Sky Society. Unfortunately, the Azure Dragon Society was large enough now that using force on them wasn't an option. If any fighting broke out, they might end up breaking the rules of the Starry Sky Dao Polarity Sect.
Not even the Celestial Sky Society dared to push things too far when it came to the official rules of the sect.
Bai Xiaochun was getting better and better at concocting the Fantasy Pills. In fact, sometimes he just set the pill furnaces up and then had Master God-Diviner watch over them until they were ready to be completed.
With more spare time on his hands, Bai Xiaochun was able to focus more easily on cultivation. At the same time, he had returned to his previous extravagant lifestyle. However, he no longer ate the Precious Jade spirit rice. Instead, he favored Heavenspan spirit rice, which was prepared by a special method using Heavenspan River water.
It was the same with the alcohol; he only consumed the best. He had a new mount, too, a blue-eyed qilin lizard. Whenever he went out on that mount, flanked by a hundred followers, he made a very impressive sight.
Time passed. Two more months went by, and not only did the Azure Dragon Society continue to grow, they had expanded their influence into three of the other districts, ensuring that their Fantasy Pill sales only continued to increase. Simultaneously, the Celestial Sky Society's Fantasy Pill sales were dropping significantly.
After all, the two pills were on completely different levels!
Bai Xiaochun's life was getting better and better....


With a thought, the land becomes a vast sea. With another thought, it transforms a field of mulberries.

With a thought, a thousand friends are killed. With another thought, ten thousand Immortals are slain.

Only I alone… shall be everlasting. 



I welcome you all to my humble abode. I really appreciate your effort and time in checking out and supporting my work. Words alone, can't express my gratitude for your effort and time. From the depth of my heart, I say, welcome!

We all love fantasy, but the concept and reality of fantasy is beyond our mere imagination. Some of us consider the nature of fantasy as an expression of perceptual shaping of reality while others consider it to be twisted imagination.  

No matter your point of view, all forms of fantasy and magical realism, are not what they are thought to be. Way beyond our thinking.

Some minds remember details of the past while others can only recollect echoes of the past. There's only a fine line between reality and imagination. This I will leave with the discerning minds to figure out.

This work is something I've been trying to write for some time now andnow, I got the chance to do that. This work relates the journey of a young underworld girl named Ethera. Born into the house of Tartarus, she was the heir to its sovereignty. Everything was going well, until the ascension of lord Hades to the Infinitum. This led to her fleeing from the underworld to the mortal world.

What will become of her? 

Let's take the journey together, down the memory lane and find answer to this elusive question. 

I, your humble author, will try my possible best to tell the tale as it happened.

Your importance as readers, can't be emphasized enough. You are the heart and soul of everything. I deeply appreciate and applaud you all.

Please leave your comments, reviews, votes and other forms of encouragement and support, as you read my book.

Thanks and welcome.

The origin of creation in my fantasy universe. The Primordials, gods, celestials, demons, devils, titans, were some of the creations in my universe.

What the readers need to know about the foundation for all my works. There are few variations to this in some of my work, but all have this groundwork in common.

The thought of making such a high-level card just for an exercise routine was so absurd that Chen Mu wanted to slap his own mouth.
Chen Mu again remembered his own speculation when he had completed those actions himself and the figures darkened. Could that be the first step? 
Right! The first step! That's what the old voice said at the time, "The first step is to please complete the eighteen actions!" It looked as though there might be some other new mystery behind it.
He had been scared by the card himself. He had to travel around such a huge bend to become clear about such a simple problem. Chen Mu mocked himself for having only just then cleared up the logic of its thinking.
Chen Mu had just found another life goal which was to break through to understanding that card's mystery. The other was to improve his skill with fantasy cards. The fantasy realm in the mysterious card had excited Chen Mu enormously, though it far exceeded his comprehension. To attempt to make a three-star fantasy card wouldn't be practical in the short term, but he could still make his own fantasy cards more realistic, like the fantasy realm constructed by that mysterious card. 
He would still have to go on making the one-star power-cards every day, which would put him far into the red with his time. 
While munching his hard bread he was arranging his life from then forward. 
Bam! Chen Mu nodded with satisfaction, as he pasted his fresh new plan on the wall, right out of the oven.
As far as Chen Mu was concerned, his life wouldn't change a bit. The one thing that pleasantly surprised him was that he had improved his efficiency by half in making the one-star power-cards. He wasn't sure if that was because of his training to improve his perception, but now when he made one-star power-cards, they came out extraordinarily smoothly, with the hand fulfilling the heart. This then gave him more time to put into the other two items in his plan.
However, those other two matters would make slow headway. Chen Mu could accomplish only half of those eighteen movements. The demands of these eighteen actions on his inner body – strength, release – all required their own appropriately calibrated responses. However, those few days of exercise also greatly improved his body's fitness, which could be considered an unintended side-benefit.
On the matter of the fantasy card, his advances were minimal. Wanting to make fantasy seem real is no trivial matter. All he could do was to relentlessly examine everything around him, over and over again. Chen Mu wasn't anxious in that regard. He knew that it would be a slow-moving cumulative process where being anxious wouldn't do him any good. 
Pocketing the one-star power-cards he had made; Chen Mu went over to Uncle Hua's general store. 
Uncle Hua didn't look very well, but he was very happy to see Chen Mu, "Old Mu, it's been a long time since I've seen you, what have you been up to lately?" which was immediately followed by a nasty fit of coughing.
"Is anything the matter?" Chen Mu had a somewhat concerned look, since Uncle Hua was one of the few sincere people in that world. And he cared about Chen Mu.
Uncle Hua forced a smile and said through his wheezing, "Don't worry, I may have just caught a cold. Your Uncle Hua is old, but he's strong. What about you recently? I haven't seen you sending along your power-cards. I've been afraid that something had happened to you."
Seeing Uncle Hua's wan look and noting a sour smell which wasn't coming from him, Chen Mu smiled broadly to say, "I was able to get something done. I stopped for a bit recently while I was learning how to make a fantasy card."
"Eh? Did you learn to do it?" Uncle Hua became interested.
Chen Mu nodded his head, "Uh huh, but I only learned how to make one-star and two-star cards."
"Ha! I'd guessed that Old Mu could surely learn to do it, being so smart and so hard working. You certainly do have a bright future." Uncle Hua was as pleased as though he had heard about his own nephew's prospects, though the rise in his spirits brought on another bout of coughing. 
Chen Mu didn't know what to say, as he looked worriedly at Uncle Hua.
Uncle Hua's wan face turned ruddy again after he finally stopped coughing, and he smiled, "You have to be very diligent, Old Mu. I've always wanted to have a fantasy-card advertising sign. Ah, the best would be to show the remote purple orchid, which was something special from our home town." Uncle Hua's eyes took on a heavy look of homesickness. 
"Ahh!" Chen Mu nodded vigorously.
Chen Mu's heart felt a little heavy after coming out of Uncle Hua's general store. 
"Blockhead!" Chen Mu heard someone calling him and turned his head around to see an overdressed man running toward him. 
It was Copper, who used to go around with Chen Mu on the street. But then he had been taken in by someone. His relationship with Chen Mu wasn't bad, and you could say that he was one of Chen Mu's few friends. The family circumstances of his adoptive father and mother were quite good at that time, and he would look after Chen Mu from time to time. But not long before, his adoptive father and mother had passed away, and he had no choice but to break off his studies and go back to a half-vagrant situation. Chen Mu was naturally dispassionate and taciturn, so substituting a different character "mu" (for wood), Copper called him 'Blockhead.'
Copper was looking slovenly wearing a gaudy shirt that was too big for him. His hair was a mess, and he wore two giant hoops in his ears. On his feet he was scuffing along in a pair of obviously filthy sandals. His manner of dressing startled Chen Mu.
He stopped and waited for Copper to come over. 
"Hey, I finally run into you on the street! Have my eyes blurred, or has the world changed?" Copper said with an exaggerated look. 
"I came to sell power-cards." The two of them were quite familiar with one another, and Chen Mu had no intention of indulging in happy talk. 
Copper nodded his head knowingly, since he understood Chen Mu very well, "You coming out for a stroll is like the sun rising in the West."
"Oh, right, I've recently found some work," Copper indicated with a mysterious look. 
"What work?" Chen Mu asked rather interestedly. Copper's adoptive parents wanted the very best for him, always encouraging him to go to school, which was something Chen Mu yearned for in his dreams. But they hadn't considered a calamity falling from the sky. Copper's adoptive parents were killed in a car accident, cutting off all sources of income, so that he had no choice but to cut off his studies. This knucklehead was quite firm about it. Chen Mu knew that a person like Copper had a much fiercer kind of pride than ordinary people did. If it were him, Chen Mu figured that he would do the same as Copper.
Copper had always diligently looked for work. During those few days, Chen Mu had been immersed in making a fantasy card, and breaking the code of that mysterious card's world. He didn't have the leisure to be concerned with anything else. 
"I found some work in a little card-show studio, mainly doing odd jobs for the screenwriters."
"Card show?" Chen Mu knew what card shows were. A so-called card show would use the moving images that were conjured from the fantasy card to perform a story. How many fantasy cards got used would be determined by the length of the fantasy card story. In general, each card show would need about twenty to fifty fantasy cards. The characters and animals in the card shows would, for the most part, be treated with some exaggeration. They would look extremely cute, making people quite fond of them.
Card shows had already appeared thirty years before, but they really only started catching on ten years before, as an up and coming new industry. 


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.
