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

In a room nearly across the entire ship from first class,


    a middle-aged man with greasy and messy hair wiped the sweat from his forehead anxiously.


    He grabbed a passing blonde youth, who winced in pain, and asked sharply, "Hasn't Paul been found yet?"


    At that moment, a cold and hoarse voice, slow and dragging, came through.


    A chill suddenly seeped into the room. People instinctively looked toward the source of the sound.


    It was a man who looked as gaunt as a ghostly shadow.


    He appeared to be in his late forties or fifties, his gaze as deep as that of a lone wolf stalking its prey. The man's back was slightly hunched, leaning on the walls around him as he appeared at the door. Though he wore a neat suit, it was slightly too big, causing it to sag a bit as his shoulders couldn't hold it up. His eyes were tinged with a yellowish glow, giving him a sickly appearance.
