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

Aiwass had not anticipated that he would encounter Merlin at this promotion ceremony.


As a half-dream demon, Merlin had half of the bloodline of Transcendence, which made him an expert in the art of ritual; and he was also a mage, ultimately becoming an apostle of the Great Sage.


But when it came to the establishment of Avalon, Merlin was an inescapable figure.


Aiwass had even told his students the story of Merlin's love and battle with the lake fairy Vivian.


At the same time, the Holy Sword—the Red-Handled Sword—temporarily in Aiwass' possession, was also sealed by Merlin. The establishment of the Hall of Silver and Tin, the Eye of Avalon, and several other Heirloom Divine Artifacts were also related to Merlin.


From this perspective... Merlin's importance to Avalon was even much greater than that of "Gavin," who had presided over Aiwass's promotion ceremony before.


However, Aiwass had something even more urgent to discuss with Merlin...
