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…

Developing the element of Fire within one’s StarDust is certainly one of the most counterintuitive things to do.
Why?
Because it requires us to do things that frustrate us or that we simply do not feel like doing.
It means holding back from eating or drinking too much, even during a truly delicious meal.
It means pushing ourselves to exercise, even though it would feel so much nicer to sink into the comfort of the sofa.
It means taking the time to read a book instead of letting ourselves be distracted by whatever the algorithms choose to show us.
It means thinking about the future of the generations to come and trying to leave them the very best that is still within our power to offer.
But this also comes at a cost, because, like all the elements, it has its own balance.
Trying to develop the element of Fire too much can also become counterproductive.
By “wearing ourselves out” with constant effort, we may lose sight of what truly matters, set aside the time we spend with those we love, or ignore the present, which also deserves our attention.
So, doesn’t enjoying our freedom also mean accepting our responsibilities?
Many of us still have that freedom.

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…

Sleep is OP!
Just like humans somehow forget about their brain—because they can’t see it—they also forget how much their sleep impacts their daily lives… Sleep might be the most overpowered tool that enhances every aspect of one’s life: from learning to physical development, better mood, and more energy. The list is endless! When you think about it,…

Scales
Of all the 7 Shapes, Eklea was the most difficult to grasp and understand. This is why all the Espers needed to take time, every single day, to remind themselves how tiny they were in the vastness of the multiple universes they lived in—but also how important they were to one another, and to the…

Smile!
Guruko and Cha Cha were reading a part of the book One Daily Tale, about a powerful tool that every Esper on Esperia knew about. It was a smile! When they read this, they both looked at each other, wondering what it truly meant… “A smile can lift the day of anyone who sees it.…

The Great Library of Esperia
In Esperia, one of the most respected places was the Great Library. Not only was it filled with every kind of book—written by the Shapes themselves and by Espers on topics like nature or the peculiar laws of physics in their Universe, which allowed the arts of magic—but it was also a place to discuss…

Balanced States
On Earth, many, many things have existed in a state of balance—long before the human species began dominating the planet. There was the natural cycle of water: clouds formed from the oceans, turned into rain, and flowed back through rivers to the seas. There was also the natural movement of winds, as warmer air tends…

Take the Time
When was the last time you took a moment just for yourself—not doing anything, just a few minutes of simply being? I know that most of you will reply: “I don’t have time to do that.” Unfortunately, if you don’t have time for yourself, even just a few minutes a day, no one else can…

The Brain
Cha Cha thought that, theoretically, on Earth, even though the Seven Shapes are unknown to everyone, the human brain might be what a potential StarDust looks like! Feeding and exercising our body indirectly powers our brain, and the better the source of energy—what we eat—the better our brain functions. Learning, of course, but also interacting…
