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.”

    Simba was a little monkey who lived on the margins of the society of Esperia. Although he was not an Esper, he too had developed a consciousness and had learned the five languages of the different elements.
