Know Your Shadow

With the help of StarDust, the Espers were now able to perceive their own Shadow.

This was the first step toward understanding themselves more deeply.

The 7 Shapes then turned their attention to the Shadow itself and began to study it in greater depth. Eklea, the Shape of Awareness, was especially intrigued by this discovery.

“So, the Shadow has always been there, within us.”

“But unless we awaken our StarDust, we cannot truly grasp what lies inside each of us.”

She realized that her own Element, Lightning—linked to Awareness—had allowed some Espers to catch a glimpse of the Shadow, even before the discovery of StarDust.

“So, awareness can help us see the Shadow, but only for a moment. To fully embrace it, the harmony of all the Elements is the true key.”

“With a bright StarDust, the Espers can now understand themselves more fully by knowing their Shadow. This is an essential step toward harmony and peace.”

    Who is really an NPC? If we take the analogy of one’s personal life as the main character in a game, then you are the hero of your story, surrounded by billions of NPCs. But what if you don’t think for yourself and simply act as dictated? Then you become an NPC in your own

    Have you ever felt lonely, even while standing in a room full of people, or when you think about the billions of other human beings living on this Earth we all share?

    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

    As the Shape of Balance, Atma practiced a different kind of magic from the Elemental Shapes. She liked to say that balance did not mean flatness at all, but rather waves! Her magic wove the five elements into flowing threads, combining them like a dance. When some elements grew stronger, others gently made way, allowing

    In Esperia, caring for one’s StarDust soon became one of the most important duties an Esper received from the youngest age. Why? Simply because the Seven Shapes understood that with healthy habits came the ease of accomplishing good things without needing much effort or attention. They also knew that with the existence of magic, Espers
