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

"My mother—you know, Queen Sofia. She is actually quite a stern person, who insists on having her children do things according to her wishes. She is not only the monarch of Avalon, but also the ruler of 'Du Lac.'"


... I didn't get that impression. Aiwass thought to himself.


All he felt was that Queen Sofia was a quite amiable old lady... she even knitted a scarf for Aiwass.


"... I never felt love from my mother, only pressure, constant nagging. As if I could never do anything right... as if I were stupid."


Prince Albert gave a bitter smile, "Of course, it later turned out... I indeed wasn't that bright."


"But Innie was different. She was gentle... younger and more beautiful than mother. Maybe because of the aesthetic I developed as a child, I think half-elves are more beautiful than both elves and humans."


"Later... we became involved. Just once."
