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

"A living Demon Sword... remnants of the Beast's Path."


Aiwass murmured softly, "Is this the secret behind it driving people mad and losing control?"


Merlin nodded, looked down at the giant key in Aiwass's hand, and sighed, "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have shattered and sealed it... It's somewhat of a relic of Galahad and was once owned by Lancelot. It would be best to keep it, at least as a memento.


"...It was also because I was too fond of it that I didn't destroy it completely back then. Otherwise, given my usual ways, I'd rather not have such an unstable force."


Merlin sighed here, "I also thought... what if there's a way to solve its problem in the future?"


Merlin was evidently not in favor of Aiwass using the power of the Red-Handled Sword.
