Information and notifications about the two new concepts he discovered. Now that he's alone again Levi paused processing everything that happened yesterday and today.
He did miss his remaining VR allocation yesterday but that was all worth it as he was playing a different game with Anri that night.
In fact, they went at it after the short wedding ceremony, and only stopped around the afternoon as Anri still had to do her activities in the guild.
Rumors had long spread to the womens only guild by then fortelling the happy ending of the young master x guildmaster lovestory. And Anri treated it as natural as she had herself had invited some of
the original staff members of the guild to the short exchange of vows.
Levi simply laughed at this, knowing Anri's love for moderate attention. What he didn't expect was the press romanticizing the short story even further and publishing it after Anri's approval which simply made Levi laugh just seconds after as he got mails for interviews and alike.
If it would help his Wife, then it was duty for him.

Finally synching out of his thoughts Levi took one deep breath, relishing his time in peace as he opened the stack of notifications that have been long waiting for him.

Well... Wow. Just. Wow.
Levi gawked as he read the first notification.
He was glad to have encountered this so early in the game as it completely removed his reservations about customizing and trying to create skills this early in the game.
While skill modification and skill creation has been one of the back bone of 'freedom' in VR Games, players usually develop skills based on their actual 'class'.
Sure it would be cool and random to have a knight Summon demons and force debuffs, but due to time and complexity limitations you would usually execute those skills by tying up concepts and applying them with your class skills(for this example knight skills) to have a skill like:
Demon Summoning Slash.
Levi chuckled as he recalled ridiculously random skill he was unfortunate to make during his early VR days. Unlike creation skills, demon summoning skills require you to either dominate or negotiate favorable deals whenever you summon them.
Without having the fundemantals of a demon summoner however... That tends to become a huge problem...
The summary of it is that things horribly backfired whenever he tried to use the skill. Demons in that very specific VR Game, although held etiquette to its summoner... Tend to extort the hell out of misguided individuals who have virtually no control to operate between the concept that governs demon summoning.
Levi had to forcefully pay 3, sometimes 5 levels, for unintentionally summoning a being too strong. There was also that time where he had unintentionally summoned the symbol of gluttony basically an end game boss and had to procure 1000 premium unblemished cows causing him the price of almost two whole kingdoms just from bringing in the required experts to even make the endeavor even possible.
One had to note when trading with demons is that if the price was that high, the penalty was so so so much larger.
Anyway, back to the real topic:
With the system not just allowing but also supporting advanced customization and creation this will greatly change the landscape of character development is regarded. Specially in the professional scene.
Levi paused, sending a brief summary to his wife about this as he pondered the implications it would have in high level competitive play.
Normally duels between players lean more on intangible things like: reaction time, decision making, skill sequencing, and outright character control and maneuvering. With the system not limiting and even supporting skill and class customization, counters, archetypes, metas, anti metas and even weird and chaotic builds would soon popup.
With this change, even normal people who hadn't gone through adaptation might just have a fighting chance against pros using clever and well suitable builds that don't require too much control.
All of this made Levi, excited as he relished the possibility of additional competitors in the game. He bursted out from laughing to outright cackling...
And then to... genuine doting happiness as he heard the cackling of a hundred skeletons laughing and celebrating with him.

To be continued.
