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

Having exited Room One, he proceeded deeper until he reached a dead end at the end of the passage.


Two sinister statues stood at the terminus—winged beasts perched atop pillars. They possessed bat-like wings and the fierce heads of demonic hounds, as if standing guard over something.


By turning the statues inward, making them face each other instead of watching over the exterior, and then twisting the painting at the end of the corridor, a narrow crevice, just wide enough for one person to pass through, was revealed.


"—The so-called 'secret passage' entrance is right here."


A middle-aged man with a head of short, curly red hair respectfully informed Miss Beyard, "But to be precise, it is not exactly a secret passage, just an underground tunnel that has been concealed."


Miss Beyard crossed her arms with interest, asking, "What's it used for? Could it be... to prevent adultery from being discovered?"
