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…

    Joliko, our little red panda companion, had finally freed himself from several addictions that he had chained together, one to escape another.

    Simba, our little monkey companion from the land of lightning, was beginning to see a little more clearly when it came to awareness. This was mysterious: it now seemed innate to the Espers of the planet, while still needing to be developed. Although he had sensed that several levels of awareness seemed to exist, he…

Learning from their mistakes was therefore also a natural way for them to grow.But in a society where the right to make mistakes was becoming less and less accepted, learning from one’s own mistakes was also becoming increasingly difficult. The image of success had changed. At the height of…

    Making the right choices is not often easy. Especially when the almost insurmountable flow of society as a whole imposes a vision from which it is difficult to break free. Thinking or acting against the current then becomes a trial that is at once discouraging, irritating, and sometimes almost ridiculous, yet within which a glimmer…

    The period of abundance brought about by the massive and limitless use of magic had come to an end. Not by choice, as might have happened if the Espers had managed to agree on difficult questions, such as the consequences of their actions on Aether, the planet’s source of life, or the inequalities caused by…
