One Good Deed a Day

Shala, the Shape of Time, had seen many civilizations bloom and disappear across time and universes.

The planet Esperia and its Espers was one of these civilizations among many others, but it had something particular: at the end of the Chaos War, the Espers had realized the existence of their StarDust.

A civilization is made up of individuals, and healthier and more awakened individuals become the actors of a society in their own image.

This was an idea shared by more and more Espers, who then decided to try to implement a new rule: the duty of one good deed a day.

This rule seemed obvious, because it involved the functioning of the StarDust: each day is a new opportunity to develop it.

And a good deed is beneficial not only for the one who receives it, but also for the one who performs it.

Nothing complicated was necessary. A simple smile, for example, contains immense power: it can change the atmosphere of an entire room and instantly make slightly gloomy Espers more joyful.

One good deed a day, on the scale of an entire civilization… Can you imagine what this could create over weeks, months, or years?

I will let you think about it…

    When the Seven Shapes decided to try to rally the Five Elements behind a single cause, it seemed unrealistic, almost utopian.

    Reflecting on the societal problems they faced, the Seven Shapes had noticed something thanks to the presence of Atma, the Form of Balance: the Espers had grown so accustomed to seeing extraordinary things that daily routine had become too boring for them, almost unbearable. But on a planet with limited resources, the ordinary and the…

    The question of mortality had been debated for thousands of years on Esperia.Like many civilizations, the fear of the unknown had led different beings to create reasons for their existence and to find interpretations for the signs given by nature. “The question of time and existence is truly complicated,” worried Vati, the Shape of Wisdom.“Atma,…

    The Seven Shapes had understood one thing: no Esper was born with knowledge of the world, its history, or its tragedies. For the young, sometimes left to themselves, they had understood that it was more than necessary to establish a charter capable of guiding them. Thus, Faya, the Shape of Will, thought that having a…

A young Esper, a little surprised, asked:“Is there a connection between the two? I don’t really understand…” Kenko smiled gently. “Yes, the link is not easily visible if we have not taken the time…

    In a world where magic was queen and everything seemed possible, the priorities that were nevertheless essential had long been set aside.Not by deliberate choice. But simply through a lack of clarity, humility, and empathy. The Espers of the Five Elements did not know that they shared one single planet, now called Esperia.They did not…

    History has shown many times how human beings have been capable of atrocities toward other human beings. The irony is that in the age of AI, these same humans praise the greatness of humanity, claiming that AI will never be able to have feelings or experience emotions. Yet we are also living in a time…
