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

Upon hearing Aiwass's words, the Cardinals within the room showed varied expressions.


Some were visibly shocked, others fell into contemplation, some opened their mouths as if to speak and then hesitated, while a few furrowed their brows tightly.


The first to break the ice and make peace was the host of this place, Cardinal Cyril.


"——Truly worthy of someone recognized by His Holiness and the Candle Master. Even I did not imagine that you would actually pass the Lord of Scalefeather's test in merely a week."


This aged Cardinal, half tree and half Amberficate, casually provided Aiwass with protection in just two sentences.


As the leader of the "Market Supervisor" faction, it appeared that Cardinal Cyril still held some sway.


His moderate and conservative nature meant he was always inclined to resolve emerging conflicts before they became visible—by preemptively bringing up Aiwass's achievements, it certainly helped to make others a bit more patient.
