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

"This is way too professional, isn't it?"


Lady Honey Badger couldn't help but say, subconsciously looking at the crow in Aleister's arms: "Do all the Demon Scholar's contract demons... look like this?"


Vinesse emitted an ethereal voice that was slightly raspy.


Yet obviously... even Vinesse herself seemed to lack confidence while saying this.


Aleister gently stroked the little crow's head as she whispered.


The crow nuzzled Aleister—its bird face expressing visible, human-like conflict and confusion.


She suddenly spoke up, sounding somewhat hesitant: "If you wish, I might be able to do something like this too. Shall we give it a try first…"


This Mirror Demon even made Vinesse lose her confidence.


"You don't really need to compete with Lily for work..."


Originally, Lily had signed the Shepherd's Nurturing contract with Vinesse under her Shadow Demon state.
