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 discussion between Serpent Father and Lord of Scalefeather did not avoid outsiders.


The reaction of the Cardinal Archbishops indicates they were already aware of this future. Perhaps due to the prophecy of Loki, or perhaps the Pillar God they contracted with had mentioned this matter earlier.


It's possible that no one and no deity had spoken to them about this—after all, such a future could be deduced through logic alone.


Not all Paths have an endpoint; some Paths lead to eternity. However, Transcendence is not one of them.


—Serpent Father will ultimately come to an end. And the appointed day is already drawing near.


This is a path whose conclusion was set from the very beginning.


Those who Transcend never retreat, never pause—and for this reason, people of Transcendence never rest.


Yet this day-after-day relentless advancement is precisely what makes Transcenders content. Wherever they go, looking up there is always a new goal.
