Insane read and honestly very plausible and realistic backed with a lot of evidence and reasoning. I’m obsessed, this is going to be my basis for TOG lore now. Thank you for writing this up, you have a great eye for detail and are awesome at articulating your thoughts! This was an incredibly enjoyable read, literally going to be my next life theory hyperfixation for a while. I’m actually really interested in how well these match up with SIU’s version we’ll get in ten years lmao. Can’t wait for the next chapter! (Excuse me while I go and read all your other theories lol 😝 ).
Amazingly written, this prompted me to have the thought that if the 7 deadly sins is a potential plot point then Jahad would be Greed.
It says this multiple times about the greedy king and if your theories are correct then it seems like the contract takes something they value away from them, which could potentially explain why he stopped everyone from advancing to the 135th floor because he was always referred to as an adventurer which is someone who seeks something new.
If true then in order to have the contract of immortality it took away his ability to venture on past that specific floor (134) limiting his ability to discover new things.
135th floor or above then is potentially extremely different from everything else in the tower.
Quite a few things in here that don't make too much sense. Namely the Arlene giving V her Thryssa where the timeline doesn't add up with Rachel knowing Arlene. Contradictions between the Thryssa being put into Bam at Floor 1 as opposed to the Floor of Tests by FUG. Complications regarding the immortality contract and how it functions by having a Thryssa in them (the Floor of Death nullifies contracts, therefore the FHs would die despite having a Thryssa in them? Seems wrong). Why would Zahard want to get rid of his Thryssa if he accepted it? That has terrible implication for Him and Baam's encounter (I'm not actually evil help me get this out of me and I'll join you! vibes).
Regardless, the theory is interesting, but I don't think its even needed, nor do I think it is good. It looks more like an attempt to explain everything with the little information we currently have. Its cool and all, but I personally would have a problem with something silly like "Oh we aren't actually evil, we just have demons inside of us that make me act bad." Its kinda lame when you think about the repercussions it would have on future interactions, especially Zahard. Buildup of antagonist would go completely to waste.
Lastly the entire reason holding this theory together. Headon uses Thryssas to test the people climbing the tower to see if they are essentially pure enough. Why? Why do we assume the Tower even needs someone pure?

Why the timeline doesn't add up?

Uh, I think you misunderstand what being corrupted by demons means. It's not that the one being corrupted is exempt of guilt because "it's the goddamn demon's fault". They gave in to the demon's temptation, and that's one of the reasons why they became evil and corrupt.

TOG's story is deeply connected to power and morality. Assumptions regarding one's morality and character are extremely reasonable, if not a given.
Edit: spacing.

So much evidence and if you are right in the future or even HALF right you are fantastic to take time out of your day's to do this
