Start Acting for the Future Today

From then on, with Shala, the Shape of Time, placing greater emphasis on it, thinking about the future had become a normal part of life for the Espers since the end of the War of Chaos.

The Espers were not naturally creatures who placed the future first.

On the contrary, their Shadow urged them more strongly to satisfy their most immediate and readily accessible desires.

But the disaster of having allowed their Shadow to act under the banner of an exaggerated freedom had given way to a denial of the consequences of their own actions, the rise of extremism throughout the world, and had ultimately led to an unprecedented war, destroying along the way a large part of the ecosystem, which had already suffered greatly from the use of magic…

Isn’t a truly modern society one that places the education of its youngest members at the forefront, and acts in the present while thinking about the future?

The reckless use of magic, without considering its consequences for the environment, had destroyed a large part of the Aether of the planet.

Their population continued to grow without considering the resources that were nevertheless limited on their planet, and while some regions were bathed in luxury and abundance, others continued to suffer from famine.

All of this before the unknowing eyes of each one’s Shadow.

The new Esperia had been founded upon a rethinking of the values that should be promoted, for a society finally worthy of the term modern.

For a society that could finally be called “magnificent”…

    Climbing

    Cha Cha liked studying human civilization and the various inventions humans had created—especially sports. One of them in particular captured his attention: climbing. He saw in it a philosophy of life: “You get to battle with yourself. You fail a lot, but try again a lot, and eventually succeed—or not. Sometimes what you lack is…

    Your Doors

    We can be taught many things. But others can only bring us to the doors—we must open them with our own hands. Opening those doors will be up to you. And you alone. Some doors are harder to open. Others you won’t even know exist—until you meet new people or live new experiences. Some doors…

    Empathy

    What truly defines us as humans? What sets us apart from other species? Not our physical strength, nor our intelligence. It is our social abilities—our capacity to form groups of many individuals—that have led the human species to eventually dominate the Earth. Empathy is our ability to understand and share the feelings of another. It…

    Language

    One of the most underrated “skills” to learn is language. For those lucky enough to have had access to education, the use of language in all its forms—be it speaking, reading, or writing—may seem obvious and trivial. But it isn’t trivial at all. Mastering a language is one of the key skills to develop. Why?…

    Natural Resources

    In just a few hundred years, the shape of the Earth has drastically changed—mostly due to the use of fossil fuels that created the “world of abundance” we live in today. While this allowed some countries to thrive on this new “black gold,” when we realize that this resource is, first, not infinite, and second,…

    Habits

    While the details of how our brain functions are still a mystery, we now understand that, of the multitude of choices we make daily, most are made unconsciously, based on our own habits. We could truly say that human beings are creatures of habit! Making better choices in our daily lives means building better habits…

  • The “Modern World”

    The “Modern World”

    “As long as humans don’t realize their own nature, new technologies won’t solve any real issues.” In the last two centuries, the modern world has given rise to modern civilization: globalization, overconsumption, a world that seems boundless and infinite—a reflection of the most powerful country in the world. But when we understand that the resources…

  • Responsibility

    Responsibility

    In Esperia, because the 7 Shapes were at the center of how the land had developed, every single Esper was taught the importance of responsibility, and how to contribute to Esperia as a whole when trying new things. This became especially true as the Espers grew their magical powers—the wiser they had to become, and…
