Modern Humans are constantly under the stress of living. They try hard to learn and survive by starting out to learn how to crawl to learning what numbers are to calculus to college and then finally working their butts off to make some money. So much they want to just escape into watching a drama, a show, or a movie, reading an interesting book or just sleeping to enter their world of dreams…
After many years of facing harsh reality and escaping into their little worlds, humans had learned magic. Magic that seems like it really is magic, but deep inside all of them know. The magic in front of them is full of deception and mind tricks, but either way they didn't mind because to them it was a small miracle.
However, as people became more and more fond of the relaxing part of their lives, they tried harder and harder to protect their little haven. To the point that they would murder. Their greed for keeping their happiness safe is all that mattered to them and humans started to get more and more aware of the fact that their imagination could literally take them anywhere. No matter where that was.
As a product of realization, people who were the most creative, intelligent, and astounding or in other words plain mad became what we call magicians. Not the magicians with the cards, the doves, and the top hat, true magicians… and of course Kudo Shinichi unconsciously became one the day he first saw a person die in front of him. His first case, his chance to finally show his deductive skills which he only showed while reading mystery novels and dramas. Unfortunately, Kudo Shinichi had no wish of becoming one. However Fate had decided that it wasn't his place to say. For he who was the best detective of Tokyo had to become a magician. He would have become a magician in the end anyways. After this case he meets up with a case every day for the rest of his life, constantly seeing people's death and ugly hearts of people. Even he would crash sooner or later and become one. One of us, the magicians or as other stupid humans call us "The Mad Ones"
But those stupid humans are the mad ones. It's because of them we were born. But Kudo Shinichi would be the key to end all of our suffering. Kudo Shinichi will never let anyone hurt. Kudo Shinichi also realized this subconsciously. And so he became. Became the magician that went against his logical brain, because that was his cost in exchange for still being sane, having a brilliant mind and magic, he had to give up his childhood friend, his humanity, and solve all of the cases he come across. If not, Kudo Shinichi would slowly become insane.
It was like this for all of the other magicians too. They were all so intelligent and talented that they all are on the verge of going mad. Going mad with their special abilities until they ceased to exist…
Kuroba Kaito or Kaitou Kid was also a magician. However he was the sane (right?) type of magician. The one with the cards and the doves, kind of playful magician, the one that produced small miracles. Kuroba Kaito almost became one as well, except in his mind he always had his family, his friends and innocent people in his mind. The one thing that made him "sane". Kudo Shinichi also cared about civilians and his friends and family; however unlike Kuroba Kaito he constantly saw the bad side of people. And it was overwhelming.
When these two magicians meet, one of miracle magic, and one of madness magic, no one expected it. Not even the two boys. Kuroba Kaito the one who failed to become but became another, and Kudo Shinichi the one who would eventually become but went against the nature. The only phenomenon between magician and human, one where they embrace both of their lives, the good and the bad along with each other…
