One Daily Tale

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 easy to fall back into bad habits: often, they may be useful for a short time, but as a whole, they become very detrimental. Good habits may seem useless, but they will reap their fruits in the long run and make the StarDust shine brighter,” said Vati, the Shape of Wisdom.

“If we Espers let things go on as they are, without intervention or guidance, the balance of the Five Elements will not be naturally created. We must remind ourselves of Atma, the Shape of Balance,” said Faya, the Shape of Willpower.

“This is how it has been for thousands of years, and the results have been nothing but countless disputes and endless wars…” said Eklea, the Shape of Awareness.

    If until now the Espers had not understood that each of the five elements was only a part of a whole, and that they shared a single planet on whose resources they depended. In particular, the Espers, endowed with the ability to use magic, had just come to understand that with each use, it consumed…

    During the period preceding the end of the War of Chaos, Faya, who had become the Form of Will, had never been known for her tact or moderation. On the contrary, as the most powerful user of the Fire element, she showed as much bravery as excess in her actions. But the revelation of the…

This did not happen overnight, but little by little, relationships based on trust eroded as the use of magic intensified day after day. Magic…

    Even if it may seem obvious, when one has not reflected on a problem, it can sometimes appear invisible, as if it did not exist. Nevertheless, the critical ecological state into which Esperia had fallen, particularly following the War of Chaos between the Five Elements, had this time shown all the Espers that the use…
