I think it was deliberate. The reason Ashtalon was chosen was because no one really close to Alon lived there and Filian was acquainted with Alon and revered him so he was granted the right to live.
The single message delivered by Filian Merkiliane was this—

You’d crash the world economy
I think you might be right. I also think the support for your thought comes from Siyan. It seems like a past version of Yutia with a modern day Alon showed up to the previous Asteria royalty and what ever happened at that time seems to be what made Yutia so attached but I’m not completely sure. I think a second time travel arc is a red herring and it may be something similar but different.
That smile was the signal.

Yeah I’m stumped too. It feels like so much has been revealed and yet it’s not enough. I need to know why those two specifically keep elevating Alon when they know he’s not an all powerful mastermind. What are they hoping to gain specifically?

True. I’ve been left guessing for so long. Idk what’s truly going on anymore and I’m realizing I never did.
But Alon remembered meeting him not in an empty forest, but in a bustling village—

The eldest daughter of the thunder serpent tribe I think
The nobles:
"Yes, I plan to invite some nobles. In Terea."

Hmmm. What does that imply? I was thinking Eliban was stuck in a time loop but maybe he’s a transmigrator too? Or maybe he’s just copying Alon since he’s had a birthday in the past too?
It wasn't something that existed in Psychedelia.

I fully believe Alon is the first true mage, the sleeper, and ultimately the one who created sin. I think the Alon we see now is one who has had a bunch of memories repressed in order to be able to manifest into the body that he did.
Rine knew almost nothing about the Sleeper.
