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

Witnessing how Aiwass effortlessly sealed a Fifth Power Level Earthbound Spirit into a tiny Tarot Card was eye-opening.


Witnessing this, Sherlock was utterly astonished.


It could even be said he was dumbfounded.


Because this completely defied Sherlock's common sense—the hierarchy on the transcendent path is clear, with higher beings significantly oppressing the lower ones.


Abilities often weaken significantly when leaping across one energy level and become ineffective over two levels. Those so-called examples of the weak overcoming the strong either circumvented the oppressed power by some means or, in reality, the weak wielded the shards or legacy of the stronger, becoming more powerful in a special domain.


But Aiwass's ritual seemed to have nothing to do with that.


—This was clearly a "ritual" from the Path of Transcendence!
