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.

Tied to the ceremonial altar as a sacrifice, Aiwass fell into contemplation.

But why, then, do "Dusk" and "Taboo" belong to the river of "Error"? What inevitable connection do they have with error?


In an instant, Aiwass suddenly remembered the words spoken by the Serpent Celestial Marshal during his divine revelation:
