Levi laughed while the skeletals celebrated holding each other's hands. Circling, hopping, crawling, wriggling, the hundred of them chaotically assembling themselves just to see their creator. Their eye sockets would widen or squint from time to time which only made them more adorable in Levi's eyes.
Checking the status page of random Skeletals it seems that their base level were still the same bound to hin. Only the granted identity and the bonus skills Levi had yet to read served as a difference.
A more... noticeable field was their Name. Their names were... Too normal.
Unlike the great system designing names with both prestige, meaning and lore, his children seems to have been named by literally plugging out information from his very own mundane naming sense. Creating names such as...
Sarah, Ruby, Joe, Bob, Mark, Spencer.
It was crazy how the system was able to mimic majority of the quirks he has, but Levi didn't sweat the details he had no control of.
He just hope that these guys... As beings that were derived from himself... Would similarly adapt his beliefs and morals. He trusted his own character to be well enough but if the Skeletals outside his Soul Sphere were to fuck around and mindlessly slaughter everything they encounter, then Levi would have no way to admonish them.
And while as much as Levi, wanted to give them complete freedom along with the identity they gained, all issues related 'Skeletals' however big or small when they pile enough would sooner or later traceback to him and by extension his wife.
Still he wasn't about to start writing commandments here and there. He was sure that the system wouldn't let such a 'flawed' aspect hinder the player's experience.

And even though he has yet to discover this, the skeletons being derived from him, not only were designed to follow his wishes, but part of their existence lies in hopes of being able to serve him.
Skeletals by simply denying or even harming their creator, would simply fall apart into nothingness.

Levi mentally ordered the army to settle and form in front of him and they instantly did so. Being connected to the intricacies of their creator they didn't kneel or whatsoever.
The skeletals just stood there happily watching as their creator tested the ins and outs of his upgraded ability.
...
First, Levi discovered that there was a large difference between the rabid flesh tearing undead and the current Skeletals. No longer do they mindlessly charge, a hint of preservation now course through their actions. That wasn't to say that they didn't fervently followed Levi's commands. In fact they were even crazier than the mindless undead he used to have.
That with the aspect that these skeletals can learn patterns and predict movements to a certain but slow extent outright halved the mana consumption Levi would normally use using his Telekinesis strategy.
Besides that, the Skeletal when unable to fight anymore, desperately threw rocks, their weapons, and even parts of themselves, cooperating with their colleagues to pierce and slash the poor Hytherian dragons.
Fight after fight the Skeletals picked the bones of their fallen enemies. Inherently having the ability to reshape bones to not only repair but completely modify themselves making the army individually unique and intimidating altogether.
It was a sight to behold that made Levi shiver as Glimpses of possibilities ran through him. Making him grin then cackle.
Following instantly were the varied tones and voices of his Skeletals rhiming along and celebrating with him.
A grim sight that would frighten any normal person that saw the encounter.
...
Testing out their reaction, Levi intentionally placed himself in danger only to find everyone literally roaring and throwing themselves, instantly killing the poor Hytherian dragon.
Levi praised the children making them dance happily. Their devotion touching his heart making him recall how he himself would instantly throw himself in front of the line of fire as his job demanded. Or course Levi didn't need to do this later on as his tactics, experience and biological aspects developed to inhuman levels and Levi in fact would've been able to dodge the blast of fire even with just his body in reality but... It was the thought that counts.
Levi mused as he briefly joined the dance himself.
.
Several tests after Levi was able to fix such life throwing tactics by simply assigning roles to the groups of Skeletals.
Levi was ecstatic with this find. With this he would be able to form macro groups, and with [Bone Telekinesis] as well as having the ability to instantly send mental commands, not to mention that his summons can now 'think' and 'adapt' up to a certain extend. Well...
That is just fun. With everything adding up Levi will sooner or later be able to siege enemy castles and even empires far earlier than a one man army could ever do.
Levi chuckled.
He was a necromancer after all.
