"How do we set it up?" Levin Cloud thought as he played with the observer orb that is used by streamers for a third person point of view.
"Why are you being so awkward when you already practiced using it earlier?" Kabrakan stated.
"Look at big sis Peridot. She is looking like she is always calm." Creepysoo whispered to Adrian.
"Her mother-in-law is watching so she has to show a different demeanor after all. She is taking this chance to suck up to her. Either that or she is just camera shy." Adrian replied.
"I vote for the former." Creepysoo stated as he could feel the sudden burst of killing intent in near him.
Just before the start of the guild war...
The group was given the rundown that Levin Cloud's mother was now the newly promoted producer of the gaming broadcast of their station. The previous producer was fired because he was not able to put up any good content on gaming which basically made their show dead air.
Since Levin Cloud's mother showed promise and is a hardworking person, she was promoted to become the new producer for the gaming show called Laro! It is basically the equivalent word to game in their native language. She was not told to go blind in a new show since she was from the lifestyle team before.
She was given the chance to prove herself by getting a person of the Fallen Knights guild to share their stream. Anyone on the Fallen Knights guild would be good for permission as the needed footage will be edited anyways. She asked if they could ask the other team about footage as she read up that the guild war is between Fallen Knights and Pantheon.
The station director applauded her for her enthusiasm, but no one knows the real identities of the members of the Pantheon guild since they were privy to their personal life. Since Levin Cloud's mother is quite new to the scene, she decided to ask her son about it. To her surprise, her son is actually going to take part in the guild war that is the hot topic of the gaming community of Pandemonium.
She asked Levin Cloud about it again to make sure that she did not hear incorrectly, and luck showered her as he is not lying. Since she also needs to ask the other guild members for their consent, she needed to get a game capsule as well since a contract is needed to be signed. Thankfully for her, the station she works in have game capsules that were ordered by the previous producer.
She just hopped into that game capsule to create a normal human character. She was then escorted to Avalon by her son, but she was not alone. When the station director heard that she is about to meet with the Pantheon guild, he immediately told her that he would also come with her.
Levin Cloud's mother did not know why the station director wanted to come but she thought he might be testing her. She thought that he wanted to come because he wanted to check on how he will handle the negotiation. She might know that the ones are her son's friends but that does not mean that everything will go her way.
What she did not know is that the station director is actually a fan of one of the players in Adrian's guild. The station director is actually a fan of Creepysoo which is why his character is also an undead, but he was only a low-level player and not enough to meet the literal prince of the undead. He even went to watch Creepysoo in the US despite representing another country.
The station director thought that Levin Cloud's mother was bluffing since they waited for about two hours to get picked up. All his doubts got flushed away when a giant golden dragon suddenly swooped down from the heavens with an elf looking player on it. The station director knew who this was because this is the healer of the Pantheon guild named Levin Cloud.
The station director thought that he is dreaming or something, but it is actually real. The appearance of the dragon Kanlaon is the greatest sign that he is dealing with the actual Pantheon guild. He did not think that he would see it for himself. If he was not an undead, then he would have fainted from shock right now. The next sentence that Levin Cloud uttered almost made the station director faint.
"Mom! Did you wait long? It seems that you only have a temporary avatar since you did not go to Genesis Village." Levin Cloud stated which made the station director's jaw drop.
Temporary avatars are special avatars that people can make if they have a temporary transaction for people in-game. These are used by broadcasting station personnel that have not registered to Pandemonium. They only have a six-hour time limit per day and is treated just like an NPC with no combat capabilities.
When Levin Cloud uttered the word 'mom', the station director got goosebumps. He thought that all the suffering that their station had to endure must be for this moment. Broadcasting stations are not that famous anymore in this current year as people tended to go to streaming or digital media.
"No wonder she got the approval of the infamous Pantheon guild easily! His son is actually a member and is Levin Cloud himself. It was like she was destined to become the new producer of our gaming channel! I thank the Almighty!" The station director thought to himself as he almost knelt down to pray.
"Thank you for taking care of my mom at work. She is very delighted to be promoted as a producer. It is actually her dream to become one." Levin Cloud stated.
"Your mother deserves it for being loyal and hardworking to our broadcasting station. She is a model employee after all. I actually hope that some of our employees take after her more. If that is the case, then our station should become more popular. Also, you can just call me uncle. Hahaha!" The station director stated with glee.
Levin Cloud does not know if all the things that the station director said is true but at least he praised his mother. He suddenly got into a great mood seeing other people praise his mother because he knows what kind of hard work she does in the house and in her profession.
"Ok then, I shall start calling you uncle. Are you guys ready to go to Avalon? You need the others to sign the contract, right? Equinox lent us Kanlaon for this occasion since he cannot teleport you two as he is busy crafting strategies with the others." Levin Cloud stated as Kanlaon looked at the two people that he has never seen before.
The two seem reluctant to board Kanlaon which is why the latter used his win magic to carry the two to his back. When the two are already boarded along with Levin Cloud, Kanlaon immediately flew across the sky in such a fast pace. The two were initially afraid but became calm when they noticed that the air pressure is not affecting them.
"This is one of the perks flying on a dragon. They can negate the air current blasting on your face." Levin Cloud stated as they reached Avalon in no time.
The two were escorted towards the guild base and was given a temporary pass to enter it. When the station director saw all members of the Pantheon guild sitting around a table, he almost lost his cool because he wanted their autographs. He even saw Creepysoo sitting there with new gears which is enough to make him want to take a picture.
"Welcome to our humble guild house, Auntie! You must be the station director. We are pleased to meet you. Come have seat with us." Adrian stated as he is the guild leader and must act like one when people like them visit.
"To say that your guild house is humble, it is quite mysterious on itself. As expected of the one called the Demon, your guild house is actually another dimension. If the other guilds find out about this, then they would be extremely jealous." The station director stated.
"You flatter us. Come and speak with the others." Adrian stated to which the station director almost screamed in joy. He was able to speak with all the guild members and even his Pandemonium Idol, Creepysoo. He was even complimented that he picked a great race to start by Creepysoo as well.
When the pleasantries were over, the contract was given to them and the representative for the talks about that was Solstice. She basically talked to the station director and her aunt for about half an hour to modify the contract. The station director was on his knees during the negotiation but was ultimately happy when they reached a conclusion.
