At his home Ezekiel was bringing back food from work, he was excited to tell his mother about his new promotion just because he wanted to celebrate.
When she saw all the food she was actually surprised.
"What are you doing hun? Why did you get so much, we aren't having a party are we?"
Ezekiel smiled wide and hugged his mother while bringing her to the table to show her the extra copy of the contract he asked for.
She took a few minutes to read everything before looking at him in astonishment.
"That's a pretty big raise just for a game?"
He started explaining the new responsibilities in better detail and by the time he was done she was very excited for him.
"So you can do a whole shift just gaming? That's great!"
They sat down to eat and relax while discussing different things.
Eventually they got back to discussing the new game.
"So how are you doing in the game anyway?"
"I'm doing very well actually, I got to lv 100 before the servers closed."
She gave a small cheer for him before taking her phone out to show him something.
"I'm the devil, the gray one."
She sighed loudly after that.
"When did my sweet baby boy become emo? Why did you make such an edgy character huh?"
"Mom come on, I didn't design my character that way. The game chose the way I looked."
"If you start growing your hair out like that I'll cut it off in your sleep i swear to the Lord boy."
"I'm not emo mom oh my god, i can't grow my hair out anyway it's to curly for that."
"Oh shush I love your curls."
He laughed and moved his head away from her hand while she tried to play with his hair.
"So hun, you get to play at work for eight hours every other day, should i start playing here?"
She had a weird look on her face that made her look suspicious.
"Some of those boys look pretty cute, it's an 18+ only game right?"
"Jesus mom ew, don't try to be one of those women with boy toys please."
Although he was joking with her he really did like the idea of playing with her.
The thought of playing with her as another member of the team was great but he would have to teach her a lot.
