Gambling on the Future of the World
Since the birth of Atma, the Shape of Balance, it had become easier for the Espers to understand that a life in harmony with nature was the path forward for all. But some Espers, whose inner Shadow had, over the years, darkened their hearts enough, refused to accept this reality. “We are beings endowed with

Excessive Luxury
Now that Atma, the Shape of Balance, was known by all the Espers, it became much easier for Esperia to grow in harmony with nature and the Five Elements.Though it was difficult to accept for many—especially those who had long enjoyed a life of excessive luxury because of their wealth. For some, the revelation of

Losing sight of priorities
The birth of Atma, the Shape of Balance, when the StarDust was discovered at the end of the Chaos War, was a revelation that transformed Esperia into the world of peace whose tales we now narrate. While the Espers of the different Elements held only a faint awareness of one another, it was only recently

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

The absurdity of the world
Trying to create a world where peace prevails and all the Espers can live in harmony is no simple task. The Seven Shapes themselves had to do their best every day and apply the principles they had written together in One Daily Tale. “How the StarDust works makes things a bit difficult. It is so

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
-
Beware of luxury
To strive for peace among all the Espers, Esperia was rebuilt in such a way that every Esper had to take responsibility and take action, based on their own unique abilities. Thus, basic fundamental needs such as food and shelter were made a priority and delivered to everyone, while the Shape of Balance, Atma, remained

Rise and Fall
It had been a while since we last took a look at Guruko and Simba, her little platypus companion. As they were studying human society on Earth, both were surprised and shocked by its development. “How can these living beings sometimes be capable of creating such wonderful things, yet at other times be so cruel
