I think most of us can agree that the little boy MC keeps mentioning is our ML. I think there is even a part where the MC compared the ML to the boy. But then what exactly happened? Why didn't he recognize the MC?
First, go back to Ch 8 to where the ML is on the phone with one of his guys. They infiltrated the lab and looked into the Director's family history, which only came up as having 2 sons. However, ML seemed to be looking for a 'daughter' and is FURIOUS at the suggestion that she could be dead if she even existed at all.
Second, we know for a fact that MC was experimented on as a child by his own father. He had gotten close to a boy who then tragically died and was set free from his own experimentations sometime after the boy died and has been hiding his special abilities ever since.
If we assume the boy is the ML, then we have to take into consideration who it is that the ML is looking for. He seemed to not care about the Director having 2 sons. So the person he got close to was a 'girl' or more precisely someone who LOOKED like a girl and is related to the Director.
What likely happened was the MC had a feminine appearance as a child with long hair. The ML mistook them for a girl. The young ML gets close to the MC and finds out the Director is their father. The ML is experimented on to the point where he dies/almost dies and the MC believes he's dead. But the experiment is a success and the ML lives and gains a dangerous power where he devours things with his energy (as shown in Ch.23). With this experiment successful, he is then used by the Royal Family, but he is using them in turn so he can find the 'girl' he met and probably to destroy their operation.
Meanwhile, the MC is set free with his father thinking he was a failure as an experiment. However, the experiment was successful for the MC as well, making him an S rank Guide AND an A rank Esper with an absorption ability. MC has to keep his abilities hidden so his Father can't find out and continue to use him.
They both grow up into adults, which obviously such a large amount of time makes it hard for anyone to recognize each other, but of course there's more that makes it difficult for them to notice each other. The main character can't recognize the ML because he fully believes he is long dead. And the male lead doesn't recognize the MC because he remembers the person he met as being a 'girl'.
I think now at the most recent chapters the ML is finally connecting the pieces and has hope that the MC is the person he met as a child.
(read only first part) bro that is fvcking good theory
OHH THIS IS GOOD THEORY
your theory is spot on lol
It was obvious. As soon as the mysterious boy was described with black hair, and “rough childhood”
Yeah I think the black hair kid being the ML was obvious. That's why I prefaced with "I think most of us can agree that the little boy... is [the]ML"
The question was more: why does the ML then not recognize the MC? And the theory was more about the MC being mistaken as a girl as a child due to the phone call in Ch. 8.
Ohhh i understand that is a good theory i support it. Apologies for misunderstanding
I've been thinking this for a while, but I think (or at least very much hope) that Maythan is the original Maythan. There isn't much to back it up, but they have similiar personalities/attitudes, look the same, and he has a trauma response to a situation that is similar to what happens when he was attacked before losing his memory. Also it feels strange to have that personal connection to Carsen just taken away.
What if he was the OG Maythan and when he had the accident his soul traveled to our universe, lived an entire life without knowing who he was, and then returned to the moment of his accident.
It's clear that Maythan has a special power and I think he himself is the "Fate Stone" and is able to change fate through the knowledge he learned from his other life along with his power.
dude ur blowing my mind
That's a crazy theory and I love it haha
THIS IS A CINEMA THEORYYY
Wait even better what if maythan's modern life was his 1ST life and in the og Maythan when he had his accident and regained memories of his 1st life but mistook himself as the modern life Maythan?
THAT WOULD BE SO COOL????
Fire writing and theory
Yeah that was the other option I was thinking of! Either way, I'm thinking there's some forces at play that caused him to "return" to after he wakes up from the accident with no memory as OG Maythan, however it is the story spins it to be. Whether his life in our universe happens first or midway through!
I 1000% believe he's the Fate Stone as it says about it "changing fate" and "roaming" as if it can physically walk around and Maythan can't find it because it is him and it's why he was able to move through different universes and has already changed the plot. I think calling it a stone is just a sort of a fairytale metaphor/pseudonym for whatever Maythan is and the true meaning of what the stone is was lost to time/fictionalized enough that everyone believes it to just be a real stone.
Haha It's just been sitting in my mind for so long and I feel like the last mention of the Fate Stone a couple chapters ago and this sort of admission of guilt to Carsen is just adding more credibility to it. I just had to drop the theory here and blow some minds LMAO
It also just feels wrong to try to not make them the same person when there's this backstory between Maythan and Carsen that ties them together pretty heavily.
Now that you know about the uncle doing what he did with the flower:
They uncle was so prolific about it that humans believed that their entire species kidnapped humans and drained their blood onto flowers just to eat the flowers.
Man bless you for updating this I was so sad when it was just forgotten about
Chapter 150 is missing. It skipped to ch 151
It’s because they uploaded a placeholder
The place holder is meant for new upcoming chapters that haven't been put out yet. Ch 150 never got updated and was skipped likely in error thinking they updated it bc they updated ch 151 instead.
Ahhh ok so Ianna has to be from that Rose family that disappeared LMAO that's the best explanation I can think of, especially since they depict that family with a woman character in shadows. No way she is actually related to the villain and it would explain the strange dynamic and unknown history they all have.
FINALLY THE TRUTH HAS SET THEM FREE!!!
