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.

Titania rubbed her eyes and took a closer look, only to discover that James had disappeared from the cage.


She immediately panicked, "Aiwass, did you eat James?"


However, Aiwass simply shook his head, "Of course not, Your Majesty. He had something to attend to and has left earlier, thanking you for your shelter."


Although James did not tell Aiwass why he was quietly staying in the birdcage.


Aiwass had already analyzed the motive behind James's actions from the snippets of information—


Cardinal Loki had taught James the "Stargazing Continuity," a mystical skill that allowed James to know many things that had happened in this era. It also revealed many secrets that were once hidden.


Aiwass was not sure what form James had taken when he returned to the "Cicada Slough" after the world's destruction.
