Knowledge Is Not Innate

The world before the Chaos War appeared, on the surface, to bear the signs of one of the most modern and advanced civilizations.

Magic had enabled the development of technologies that would have seemed like sorcery to the ancestors of the Espers.

But although the world as a whole had modernized, every new Esper still had to be educated in the knowledge whose quantity grew greater with each passing day.

Some tended to forget it, but knowledge is not innate.

The education of the young, which should therefore have held a prominent place in a well-functioning society, was nevertheless still not a priority.

New technologies, which brought ever more comfort and convenience, were also beginning to erode the quality of education.

Certain truths were fading, certain stories were being rewritten, certain discoveries were being set aside.

When knowledge is not innate, a world where it can at any moment be changed and passed on finds itself at a pivotal moment.

What knowledge will truly be passed on to future generations?

     Of all the Shapes of Esperia, Atma, the Shape of Balance, was certainly the one most attuned to the music of nature: the wind playing through the gentle leaves of a splendid oak tree, the soft breeze rippling across a calm sea, the birds singing at sunrise in a green valley—and even the raw roar…

    Shala was able to witness the creation of Earth too, far, far away from the magical land of Esperia. She was curious and full of joy as she watched life begin to take shape—how, over millions of years, nature slowly unfolded into a world where living beings could grow, flourish, and live in harmony. But…

    Cha Cha was also deeply thinking about One Daily Tale, and about the StarDust. The Espers of Esperia had all developed their own StarDust—a bright, shiny, warm veil that reflected rainbow colors. The StarDust allowed the Espers to trust one another, placing fear under the guidance of their awareness and wisdom, and enabling them to…

    One Daily Tale was a special book. It was written with magic, and the 7 Shapes themselves spent their time reflecting on how to write and present the important—yet simple—points of the concept, which was linked to harmony with nature and peace for the living creatures of Esperia. This was when Faya stood up a…

    In a world without the 7 Shapes, humankind had to develop without knowledge, without awareness. This marked the beginning of a world based on the survival of the fittest, where physical strength became the natural way to survive—without knowing how to communicate, unable to trust one another, and instinctively fearing others. Without an understanding of…

    When the Eclipse took place and Eklea vanished, the Shadows of every Esper began whispering thoughts that made them feel certain—they believed they were right, doing what was right, all while thinking they were fully aware.But in truth, the Shadows had gently slipped blinders over their eyes, making them unable to see the real truth.…

    Guruko was raised on a small island, hidden from the rest of the world. She lived with her Grandma Luna, who often reminded her: “Listening is a gift you should use as often as you can.” Her closest companion was a platypus who fancied himself a philosophical writer. Guruko had named him Cha Cha. Taking…
