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…

If there is one thing that is difficult for the Espers to do, it is to properly take into consideration everything that is not visible to their eyes: the future rather than the present moment, the system as a whole rather than their personal situation, the general Shadow of their entire civilization…
And mental health may perhaps be connected to this general Shadow.
If each Esper is part of society as a whole, the Shadow of that society, resulting from billions of individuals, can hardly be perfectly aligned with each individual.
Disparities exist and can deteriorate an individual’s mental health.
Understanding the direction society is taking, while seeing it turn a deaf ear to calls concerning the problems of climate change or inequalities throughout the world, is certainly a source of inner conflict.
Young people are particularly sensitive to the contradictions of this general Shadow and can therefore become vulnerable to unstable mental health.
Good health, both physical and mental, is nevertheless essential to illuminate the element of Earth with its StarDust.

Climbing
Cha Cha liked studying human civilization and the various inventions humans had created—especially sports. One of them in particular captured his attention: climbing. He saw in it a philosophy of life: “You get to battle with yourself. You fail a lot, but try again a lot, and eventually succeed—or not. Sometimes what you lack is…

Your Doors
We can be taught many things. But others can only bring us to the doors—we must open them with our own hands. Opening those doors will be up to you. And you alone. Some doors are harder to open. Others you won’t even know exist—until you meet new people or live new experiences. Some doors…

Empathy
What truly defines us as humans? What sets us apart from other species? Not our physical strength, nor our intelligence. It is our social abilities—our capacity to form groups of many individuals—that have led the human species to eventually dominate the Earth. Empathy is our ability to understand and share the feelings of another. It…

Language
One of the most underrated “skills” to learn is language. For those lucky enough to have had access to education, the use of language in all its forms—be it speaking, reading, or writing—may seem obvious and trivial. But it isn’t trivial at all. Mastering a language is one of the key skills to develop. Why?…

Natural Resources
In just a few hundred years, the shape of the Earth has drastically changed—mostly due to the use of fossil fuels that created the “world of abundance” we live in today. While this allowed some countries to thrive on this new “black gold,” when we realize that this resource is, first, not infinite, and second,…

Habits
While the details of how our brain functions are still a mystery, we now understand that, of the multitude of choices we make daily, most are made unconsciously, based on our own habits. We could truly say that human beings are creatures of habit! Making better choices in our daily lives means building better habits…

The “Modern World”
“As long as humans don’t realize their own nature, new technologies won’t solve any real issues.” In the last two centuries, the modern world has given rise to modern civilization: globalization, overconsumption, a world that seems boundless and infinite—a reflection of the most powerful country in the world. But when we understand that the resources…

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…
