Not praying for ten strings

During the demon-summoning ceremony, Aiwass finally recalled his past life's memories.
This should be an online game that his family's company had released and operated for six years. Now, his foster father was the leader of the latest version's antagonist organization.
He would expose his identity six years later, hesitate and then defect from the protagonist's side. Ultimately, because he decided to take a fatal strike meant for the player character, he was killed by his upright older brother in a transitional CG without even a chance to enter the main content.
——But the problem was not too significant. Aiwass also knew many secret advancement routes exclusive to the player character, as well as the Nurturing Secret Sequel regulations of the various Paths. He believed he could reverse his unfortunate fate……
So now there was only one issue left.
"According to the original plot, shouldn't I have been rescued by the protagonist before this lousy ceremony even began?"
Tied to the ceremonial altar as a sacrifice, Aiwass fell into contemplation.

When the plot-skips players into the game world

Despite deducing that their enemy was likely the Hook Demon, a successor of Jack the Ripper, Aiwass Moriarty, his three companions, and the child did not let down their guard, convinced of this conclusion.


Just to be safe, they remained hidden in the abandoned chemical factory, secretly watching the only entrance.


Aiwass couldn't reveal his Transcendence Path abilities, so he couldn't create anti-demon arrays, much less explain the habits and weaknesses of the Hook Demon.


Since there was nothing else to do, he simply found a seat upstairs with Lulu and sat down for a chat. They talked about music, poetry, philosophy, the nonexistent "I have a friend," recounted various secrets of the continent, and shared vulgar rumors that circulated only among the lower classes. Time flew by quickly.


In between, they even took the time to extend Little Aiwass's lullaby to ensure he wouldn't wake up panicked.
