One thing was certain.
The behavioral instincts linked to the need to meet one’s basic needs were deeply rooted.
The use of magic on Esperia had allowed the wealthiest to overcome those necessities, leaving room for a way around those instincts.
We want more. Always more. No longer out of necessity or precaution. But often out of pure vanity or selfishness, whether conscious or not.
But the presence of Atma had helped the Espers understand that developing one’s StarDust in balance made it possible to become aware of this.
That awareness then allows one to realize that what drives us to always want more can be controlled.
Of course, learning to control oneself when the world constantly dazzles us with promises and wonders is not easy for everyone.
Promoting nobler values was one of the pillars of a fairer and more harmonious world for all.
But the question remained the same:
“Who truly wants such a world when they can enjoy more without worrying about others…?”

Homeostasis
The self-regulation of organisms, which tends to bring them back to a state of balance when there is a fluctuation in levels, is now well understood. Thus, excesses — whether too much or too little — are detected, and systems are set in motion to return to a balanced value beneficial to the continuation of…

Once in a Lifetime
What image comes to mind when you think of the expression “once in a lifetime”? A beautiful encounter, a new beginning, perhaps an unexpected event. On Esperia, the notion of time was not so different from that on Earth. But the presence of Shala, the Shape of Time, had gradually changed the Espers’ approach to…

For a Common Goal
On paper, everything seemed clear and obvious. At least, for those who had taken the time to look into the problem. And that is no doubt where the root of the lack of cohesion for a common goal lies. Who truly took the time to look into the problem? To do so, one must first…

That Is None of Our Concern
Since the rise of magic on Esperia, the means of communication had greatly changed. Until then, it had been difficult to obtain information from the other side of the planet in a short time; now, it had become extremely easy to receive news within seconds. Nevertheless, in both cases, the truthfulness of statements and information…

A Change of Air
Joriko, our very dear companion the red panda, had gradually become interested in the effects of consuming Aether, the life source of the planet. Learning more about its consequences, as well as the efforts that would be required, made anyone who understood the problem very anxious about the future… Since he had freed himself from…

A State of Semi-Awakening
In a small village in the Land of Lightning lived a young Esper named Roboka. In a completely natural way, she imitated and repeated every action and gesture, not only of the other villagers, but also of the animals of the forest! Watching her try her very best to reproduce the sounds of fantastical creatures,…

By the Union of All
The task of rebuilding Esperia was daunting. If the consequences still seemed imperceptible, almost nonexistent, the damage had indeed been done. Aether, the life source of the planet, had been greatly reduced, and the natural process of its regeneration was slow—far slower than its consumption through the use of Esper magic. From now on, one…

Fair Judgment
To rebuild Esperia on healthy foundations for all, it had become clear that it was necessary to reach a fair judgment of what is good and what is bad. “Easier said than done…” thought the Espers who had already reflected on this, yet also saw this idea as utopian and unrealistic. Vati, the Shape of…
