Living peacefully with nature

One thing that would surprise any human being who took a look at Esperia is how the Espers have successfully created a society that lives peacefully with nature.

For us, Esperia would be seen as a symbol of the wisdom of living in harmony with the rhythms of nature, far from the stresses of modern human society.

Indeed, the Seven Shapes placed an emphasis on living in harmony with nature from the very beginning when creating One Daily Tale.

They understood that, as they all shared the same planet with limited resources, a life based on balance between themselves and nature was a necessity.

The use of magic, which consumed the life force known as Aether with each use, also had to be restricted.

For us human beings, accustomed to the ever-fast pace of modern society, it may be difficult to grasp the meaning of balance with the rhythms of nature.

But sometimes, slowing down also means making progress.

As always, knowing this is one thing. Acting…

    Eklea loved challenging the young Espers with small mental games. “Think about how you see the world. Look around you, and try to imagine viewing it through the eyes of your best friend sitting beside you, the tree in Esperia’s garden nearby, or even one of the countless stars shining in our night sky!” “By…
