Its a chance. He could still turn evil from outside influences if just 1 person running away was enough to turn him evil. Real mc could have ended up in hospital and needed to pay debts and lamented his life or something. He kept the mask due to a facial scar after all.

Now I kind of want to see a spinoff of the "past events". First 30 would be all about a shitty life when it gets worse and worse until he sneak attacks a debtor and gains enlightenment by stealing the constellation. Then, with the realization he can gain power in a twisted world where its dog eat dog, he fights his distorted brain until he eventually loses himself and the massacre begins.

if that were still one wish then he could say "i wish to return to a past where there was no heavenly demon" but that would be 2 wishes same as your wish so it wouldnt work

pre much. ONLY reason they joined forces was because that demon was a threat to them all!

No? Cause based on what i gathered and the concensus in the comments he isnt evil yet, so the fact that he wasnt abandoned and attacked by the wolves probably will stop him from becoming evil. Dont get me wrong, its a dumb 'oh hes good now btw', but you have absoloutly no idea what direction its gonna take. Itd be like reading the first part of sss-class suicide hunter and before it happening being like "oh yeah hes obviosly gonna kill himself over 4000 times duh"

i have NO IDEA why myself does that too... i'm a *NEET* *HIKIKOMORI* myself and i just sit down and read manga/webtoons/manhua/manhwa and i STILL read all this shit. EVEN the SHIT THAT TRIGGERS ME HARD! idk wtf it is. IT MIGHT BE AN *ADDICTION*? I GUESS.... 0-0 -_-

Yeah but think about it, since he thinks the heavenly demon killed his love ones instead of the heavenly demon was his brother, what would happen if he wished for his brother to be alive again?

what about the other guy Lee Shinhyuk saw
