"have normal life" of struggling financially and getting bullied due to being poor. Thanks a lot Mom! I'm sure MC will appreciate having such a big secret kept from him.A huge stretch? It's a classic storytelling device called the "You must be registered to see the links", where a character's true nature/lineage is kept from them.
Would it be all that unreasonable to assume that the MC's Mom, who was so hurt after being shunned by her family for running away with his Dad, didn't want her son to know his heritage because she wanted him to have a normal life?
His Dad could have kept this secret from him out of respect for his mother's possible dying wishes and, again, while I am NOT saying that this is the 100%, bona-fide truth, I am saying that it is incredibly easy to see it as a possibility.
I personally wouldn't keep a secret like that.
