The Shepherd's Covenant

During a ritual to summon demons, Aihuas finally recalled memories of his previous life.

This was supposed to be an online game developed and operated by his own company for six years. Now, his adoptive father was the leader of the villainous organization in the latest version.

And he himself would be exposed six years later, hesitantly defecting from the protagonist's side. In the end, because he decided to take a fatal blow for a player character, he was killed by the 'pure-blood' older brother in a cutscene before even getting a chance to enter a dungeon.

—But actually, it wasn't a big problem. Because Aihuas also knew many secret advancement routes exclusive to player characters, as well as the principles of various paths as hidden knowledge, which would surely allow him to reverse his unfortunate fate…

So now there was only one problem left.

“According to the original plot, shouldn't I have been rescued by the protagonist before this terrible ritual began?”

Aihuas, tied as a sacrifice on the ritual platform, fell into deep thought.
