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

Sherlock raised his wand and gently tapped the table where Aiwass and Yunus were drinking. The crystal glass trembled, signaling both of them to look at him.

—The elf girl named Anastasia, out of gratitude for Yunus saving her life, left a token and invited him to visit her home as a guest.


—But after her father received the token, he told Yunus directly that she had already died and had never been to Avalon.


"Normally, shouldn't it be standard to first ask you… what exactly happened? 'How did you come to possess it,' 'Could it be that Anastasia is not dead'… even the suspicion that her body might have been defiled by a Necromancer is valid—although normally, one stricken with the tree plague would be cremated, leaving no corpse. Did he not consider the possibility that Anastasia became an apostle of the Candle Master or some other Phantom Demon, and was summoned into the Material Realm?
