One Daily Tale

Half Believing

The Espers were magical creatures able to shape reality itself through their powers.

Some were said to possess so much power that they could even bend the laws of time and space…

With that in mind, it was a world where the question of what was real and what was shaped by magic was omnipresent.

But younger Espers were sometimes easily tricked by magic, unable to see the difference from reality.

Eklea, the Shape of Awareness, had created a course for them in order to help them become more conscious of this.

“Sometimes, what is in front of your eyes isn’t reality, but something else shaped by magic.”

“How are we supposed to know?” asked an intrigued young Esper.

“It is difficult, to be honest, but first of all, you should keep in mind not to fully believe everything. Experience will help you notice when reality has been twisted. Like all the principles written in One Daily Tale, it also takes time and effort to become better at this.”

    Shala was entrusted with a very difficult task: to guide the Espers in living fully in the present while honoring the past and striving for a brighter future. The cycle of day and night on Esperia was much like that of Earth, and the Espers needed rest during the night. For Shala, this natural rhythm…

    When the 7 Shapes first began working on their project, they thought about how to make the best use of the StarDust. Because Shala was there, they understood that setting a daily time limit was essential to consider. They also all agreed that, for habits to be “realistically doable,” they needed to be simple and…

    Kenko, the Shape of Health and Element of Earth, wasn’t the flashiest of all the Shapes, but she was always considered the one you could truly rely on. She was the living example that working on the fundamentals daily bears fruit, and that these basics become the foundation for everything else. Without good health, everything…

    When One Daily Tale was created from Vati’s vision, it was decided that prioritizing the education of the Espers from their earliest years was essential. “Children are like blank pages, ready to absorb any color. Now that we understand the existence of StarDust within every living being in Esperia, shouldn’t we fill this page with…
