Gambling on the Future of the World

Since the birth of Atma, the Shape of Balance, it had become easier for the Espers to understand that a life in harmony with nature was the path forward for all.

But some Espers, whose inner Shadow had, over the years, darkened their hearts enough, refused to accept this reality.

“We are beings endowed with powerful magic. We can certainly continue to act as we please, just as before. Where is the proof that our magic consumes the Aether, this so-called life source of Esperia?” exclaimed one of the most powerful Espers in Esperia.

“On the contrary, restraining ourselves would only hasten our own extinction. We should use our magic to solve all our problems.”

“Is it not our magic that defines us, we Espers, and sets us apart from the other species?”

Time had passed since the end of the War of Chaos, and although The Seven Shapes had begun to implement a resolution of peace for Esperia, some remained completely absorbed in their own vision of the world.

    One of the most underrated “skills” to learn is language. For those lucky enough to have had access to education, the use of language in all its forms—be it speaking, reading, or writing—may seem obvious and trivial. But it isn’t trivial at all. Mastering a language is one of the key skills to develop. Why?

    In just a few hundred years, the shape of the Earth has drastically changed—mostly due to the use of fossil fuels that created the “world of abundance” we live in today. While this allowed some countries to thrive on this new “black gold,” when we realize that this resource is, first, not infinite, and second,

    While the details of how our brain functions are still a mystery, we now understand that, of the multitude of choices we make daily, most are made unconsciously, based on our own habits. We could truly say that human beings are creatures of habit! Making better choices in our daily lives means building better habits

    “As long as humans don’t realize their own nature, new technologies won’t solve any real issues.” In the last two centuries, the modern world has given rise to modern civilization: globalization, overconsumption, a world that seems boundless and infinite—a reflection of the most powerful country in the world. But when we understand that the resources

    In Esperia, because the 7 Shapes were at the center of how the land had developed, every single Esper was taught the importance of responsibility, and how to contribute to Esperia as a whole when trying new things. This became especially true as the Espers grew their magical powers—the wiser they had to become, and

    Just like humans somehow forget about their brain—because they can’t see it—they also forget how much their sleep impacts their daily lives… Sleep might be the most overpowered tool that enhances every aspect of one’s life: from learning to physical development, better mood, and more energy. The list is endless! When you think about it,

    Of all the 7 Shapes, Eklea was the most difficult to grasp and understand. This is why all the Espers needed to take time, every single day, to remind themselves how tiny they were in the vastness of the multiple universes they lived in—but also how important they were to one another, and to the

    Guruko and Cha Cha were reading a part of the book One Daily Tale, about a powerful tool that every Esper on Esperia knew about. It was a smile! When they read this, they both looked at each other, wondering what it truly meant… “A smile can lift the day of anyone who sees it.
