A Sincere Willingness to Share

The Chaos War had clearly shown that the cycle of wars would never end as long as people’s mindsets did not evolve.

And the discovery of magic, which had made the civilization of the Espers more prosperous, had in no way changed the way they saw things.

On the contrary, society was becoming increasingly individualistic with technological progress, and where mutual aid and sharing had once been the norm, for the good of all, these values had gradually eroded, eventually almost disappearing and giving way to a world where, under the banner of personal freedom, a consensus that was nevertheless necessary to prevent other tragedies, perhaps even more tragic than conflicts, from breaking out…

For the use of magic had profoundly altered the ecosystem of the entire planet for centuries to come.

And it was in this maelstrom of exacerbated inequalities and an increasingly extreme climate that the Chaos War took place…

Rebuilding Esperia also meant rebuilding bonds between the Espers and planting within each of them a small seed that would give them the willingness to share, sincerely and willingly.

It is through this collective effort that the Espers can truly show their true worth.
The Seven Shapes had understood this well.

And that is also why they tried to change things by writing One Daily Tale…

    I Want to Know

    Just as being able to say “I don’t know” is a sign of wisdom, wanting to know—rather than passively accepting things as truth—is yet another mark of it. “It is so easy to accept facts as they are, without trying to understand whether they are true or the reasons behind them,” taught Vati, the Shape…

    Triple Point

    Reflections on how to build a world with harmony at its center led the Seven Shapes to place balance at the heart of the matter. Atma, the Shape of Balance—born from the fusion of all Five Elements and the discovery of the StarDust—was understood to be the key to solving this challenge. They contemplated the…

    A Decisive Time

    Shala and Vati discussed extensively the development of StarDust throughout the lifetime of an Esper. One of their conclusions was that even before the birth of a new Esper, the time spent in the mother’s womb had already begun to shape what its future StarDust would eventually become.

    We now understand that humans are drawn to stories. Long before the digital era—or even before writing—knowledge was passed down through generations by stories told aloud. Whenever someone tells a story, it is no longer reality but a fiction that carries beliefs within it. The natural fear of danger within our species makes us adopt…

    A Common Resonance

    For this lesson, which was considered one of the most difficult, Faya put a great deal of effort into teaching the Espers about resonance. Though Faya preferred to put things into practice, this lesson was particularly abstract, which is why she asked the other Shapes to help her. “The most difficult part about resonance,” said…

    For your loved ones

    Kenko and Gurumin worked together on this course about health and how to promote it, so that even the reluctant Espers would try their best. “I’m free to do as I like!” said a young Esper who didn’t enjoy listening to advice. “Yes, of course you are,” said Gurumin gently. “But why can’t I skip…

    Put things into perspective

    You can only see the world through your own perspective. But understanding that is, in itself, a big step toward becoming more aware of your surroundings. Why is it important? Because putting things into perspective helps you face difficulties with greater resolve, feel more empathy for others’ situations, and think more critically. What if I…
