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 day after meeting with the Cardinals, Aiwass woke up and proceeded with his daily morning prayer.


The biggest difference since signing a contract with the Lord of Scalefeather would probably be the addition of a new step to the daily prayers—after finishing the prayers to Candle Master, one must conduct an extra round of prayers for the principal being, the Lord of Scalefeather.


Of course, it didn't require too much respect or effort.


It was basically just like sending a daily report to the Lord of Scalefeather every morning, updating the day's itinerary, checking when one might need the boss's strength, and making a reservation; then at night, giving a brief summary, if one has utilized the Lord of Scalefeather's strength, then file for reimbursement, recharge one's Path crystal, and politely praise him before calling it a day.


In a sense, it felt more "tangible" than praying to the Candle Master.
