The Shepherds Are Dense

During a demon-summoning ritual, Aiwass finally regains the memories of his past life. This should be an online game that his own company developed and operated for six years. And now, his adoptive father happens to be the leader of the villain organization in the latest version. Six years from now, his identity will be exposed. He will hesitate while defecting from the protagonist’s side, and in the end—after choosing to take a fatal blow in place of the player character—he won’t even get the chance to enter the dungeon before being beaten to death by the “upright and orthodox” big brother, right inside a cutscene CG. —But honestly, that’s not a big problem. Because Aiwass also knows many secret advancement paths that are exclusive to player characters, as well as the various Path doctrines that exist as hidden knowledge. With these, surely he can turn his unfortunate fate around… So now, there’s only one question left. “According to the original plot, shouldn’t I have already been rescued by the protagonist before this crappy ritual even started?” Bound to the ritual altar as a sacrificial offering, Aiwass falls into deep thought. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Shepherds Are Dense — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
