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

The elder carefully layered another piece of armor before speaking: "I think the one with the highest probability is the Banquet Master."


"Yes. He already possesses the strength of a Celestial Marshal, and should he defect from the Eternal Self, he would immediately become a Celestial Marshal. It's possible he embodies the concepts of 'banquet', 'wine', or 'frenzy'. Another possibility is Ranmarock from the Path of Authority."


Aiwass remembered that this was an ancestor of the Minister of the Navy, Dewes Ramos.


"...Even the Knights of the Round Table could defect?"


"Of course. Or rather, it's not a betrayal in itself. The term 'defection' is just a convenient way to understand..."


An array of wild speculations surfaced in Aiwass's mind.


The old Cardinal shook his head: "I think it's more akin to breaking away from a company to start one's own."
