Zangyaku, the Emperor of the Wind

When the magic of the wind was discovered, the Espers saw in it a way to communicate more easily and more quickly with Espers throughout the world.

A revolution that promised Espers, whatever their element, the ability to exchange and learn from one another.

For the Wind Espers, inclined toward Empathy and Compassion, it was the ideal way to share their ideas with the other elements.

Alas, Zangyaku, a young Wind Esper who had not received the affection he needed during his childhood, also saw in it a way to fill this emptiness.

He became a pioneer in using the magic of the wind to control minds, and this throughout all of Esperia.

He then created a new technology based on the magic of the wind, capable of captivating the attention of its users: by spreading content that awakened hatred, fear, or greed within the Espers, the Espers spent more and more time on his platform…

Very quickly, Zangyaku became the Emperor of the Wind element.

    Every Esper had this Shadow within them, which acted in their place whenever they failed to act consciously. Imperceptible until the discovery of the StarDust that brought an end to the Chaos War, this Shadow was nevertheless the one that had built their civilization until then.

    If there is one Shadow that causes a great deal of harm, whether on an individual scale or on a broader scale, it is surely that of Empathy. It often takes control of behavior when emotions speak for themselves: anger, fear, suspicion. It is often said that the beings who can hurt us the most…

    As for Wisdom, the Shadow within each of the Espers was no less present. On the contrary, when faced with difficult questions or complex problems, this Shadow would often avoid the real issue and instead answer something simpler, something it was capable of solving without effort. That was why the Espers sometimes behaved in contradictory…

    In a world of choices that seemed almost infinite, where overconsumption had been made possible by the abundance resulting from the use of magic, the Espers were overwhelmed by sensory stimuli and bombarded with information. It was difficult, then, for the Shadow present within each Esper to make the choices that would promote the balance…

    The Shadow that resides within each Esper has the unfortunate tendency to prioritize short-term benefits for its host. When an Esper reacts unconsciously, their Shadow takes over and acts in their place. Instead of thinking about the long term, which is difficult and requires time, effort, and concentration, their Shadow prefers the lure of an…

    “Without light, no shadow can appear; there is only darkness.” Cha Cha, our platypus friend, had attended a public event where silence was expected. Yet among the audience, two spectators paid little attention to this rule and kept talking, disturbing the people around them. This experience led him to reflect on the Shadow that belongs…
