Zeiniku the Sedentary

Even in the land of the element of Earth, which was supposed to represent Health above all else, comfort and changes in lifestyle since the beginning of the use of magic had transformed the daily lives of the Espers.

Zeiniku was probably the typical example of a sedentary person, seeing himself above all as free and displaying great arrogance.

Born into a wealthy family, whose riches had been built through the massive use of magic, he had never needed to make the slightest effort and had become content with his sedentary life.

Under the pretext of his personal freedom, he firmly ignored advice related to good health, refusing to exercise, eat healthily, and maintain reasonable portions, preferring instead to indulge in drinking parties or dinners that were always more extravagant than the last.

    A World That Has Become Ultra-Complex
