Welcome to Esperia — A World of Harmony and Magic
In Esperia, magical creatures called Espers nurture the StarDust, a glowing energy that lives within all.
The Seven Shapes guide this world, bringing balance, wisdom, and care to every being.
Each day, One Daily Tale shares a story from their magical tome—let it inspire your StarDust to shine brighter.
Step into today’s story and let the magic unfold…

The Seven Shapes had clearly understood that, in order to rebuild Esperia, everyone’s efforts would be necessary, whatever their element.
The period preceding the War of Chaos had developed, throughout all the elemental lands, the understandable but fruitless feeling that the fault always lay with others and that making efforts oneself only meant putting oneself at a disadvantage…
But resources were limited and, in certain parts of the world, the Espers had already almost exhausted them all without considering the consequences, naively believing that they would regenerate like the magic they used in abundance, as if it had no repercussions on Aether…
The end of the War of Chaos had nevertheless brought these major problems to light, and it was thanks to a consensus finally reached that Esperia could be rebuilt to create a society that would finally take reality into account.
All the Espers were interdependent in this limited world.
All the Espers therefore had a responsibility for the future of their civilization.
All choices were possible, but each of them brought equally diverse consequences.
For the Seven Shapes, thinking about future generations and preserving what remained of nature represented the future that had driven them to choose to write One Daily Tale…

Consistency of words and actions
After they created One Daily Tale, the Seven Shapes knew this was only the first step toward a peaceful Esperia. “From now on, the real challenge begins,” thought Vati, who understood better than anyone that while truth could be written with words, actions and behaviors did not always follow naturally. This was when Faya stepped…

Gratitude for basic needs
There was a saying that Kenko liked a lot, and though it did not directly concern health, she appreciated the idea behind it, as it reflected the principles taught by the other Shapes as well. “You should be grateful for the little things you receive — whether it is simple lodging or a meal.” Kenko…

Third Eye
Eklea liked to use concrete examples to explain abstract notions that were difficult to grasp, especially for the younger Espers. This time, she used the example of a one-versus-one game played by two Espers. The game had a lot of depth, and a well-timed move could completely change the tide of the match. She said,…

Pure and Upright
The Five Elements were representations of the dimensional layers that had to be blended in order to truly understand one’s inner self. Empathy was one of them, and when the Seven Shapes worked on a good description of compassion, they thought about what they saw in Gurumin: pureness. Her character and attitude were pure and…

Improve each other
The Espers soon understood that a good way to grow was to do so alongside others. Why? Because rivalry can spark motivation, creating a natural positive cycle in which the more you improve, the more others do as well. Vati and Faya also knew that sometimes competition could become too harsh, and they reminded the…

Learn from others’ mistakes
Though Esperia had finally managed to create a stable society, nothing was perfect. Many Espers still opposed the new rules set by the Seven Shapes. But this too served as a lesson to grow from. Every Esper is different, and the ways we adapt to new situations differ as well. The Shadows of some Espers…

Day after day
The habits we build, one small step at a time, are like seeds that must be nurtured gently but steadily each day in order to bear fruit. “One step a day, day after day,” could be a way of thinking that every Esper remembers when seeing Shala. A few minutes of training or work may…

Join Forces with One Heart
The Seven Shapes were discussing how Esperia had changed since the discovery of the StarDust. “Before, we didn’t even know we shared the same planet,” exclaimed Vati. “Nor did we know that all the different Elements are just parts of the same source, the StarDust,” thought Eklea. “It was a long journey that led us…
