Shared Prosperity

Cha Cha, Guruko’s little platypus companion, continued to reflect and write every day.

His journey so far had been rather chaotic, but it was precisely what had allowed him to develop his current vision of the world as a whole.

He had grown up in the country of the lightning element, but both of his parents were originally from the country of the water element.

Indeed, there was once a time when the water element was not truly associated with wisdom. On the contrary, internal conflicts were widespread, which is why his parents’ family had decided to leave and try their luck elsewhere.

    Now that Esperia was finally at peace, it became natural for the five different Elements to work together and share their knowledge and skills. When they were still at war, they simply couldn’t realize—blinded by hatred and fear of others—the need for the other Elements to sustain their own land. Water, through rivers, lakes, or

    Overconsumption

    Who hasn’t heard the term, but who has really thought about it? Guruko, who was very intrigued by the human race on Earth, was once again looking through the magical mirror at their civilization. “They are quite interesting living beings, aren’t they?” said Cha Cha, her platypus companion, who had just walked into the room

    A short period of power

    What was unprecedented on Esperia was how detached from power and status the founders of One Daily Tale were. The Seven Shapes were mainly symbols of what good behavior toward one’s StarDust could lead to: harmony and peace.

    Shifting the blame

    If there was one thing Faya tried to avoid the most, it was shifting the blame for her own mistakes onto others. As the Shape of Willpower, and the Great Element of Fire, she always took responsibility for her actions, even when those actions turned out to be mistakes. “I know it can be easier

    This time, Kenko, the Shape of Health, raised the difficult question of exhaustion—of being completely worn out. “I understand that some of you think this may be a sign that you are working hard, or doing your best,” said Kenko. “But you also need to remember how your StarDust works, and how it needs rest

    Half Believing

    The Espers were magical creatures able to shape reality itself through their powers. Some were said to possess so much power that they could even bend the laws of time and space… With that in mind, it was a world where the question of what was real and what was shaped by magic was omnipresent.
