"You did say this is a Private Domain." Even as he walked, Anubis didn't want to overlook a piece of information like that, giving a small glance back as he moved. "Apart from the levels or expanded features, is there anything else you know?"
Responding to that, Lumine answered, "Honestly, we still don't know if all the knowledge this unlucky guy has is indeed a law of nature in this world, but there's no harm in telling him, Kev."
Although Soran felt offended by being called an unlucky guy he nodded and explained what he knew.
A private domain typically refers to a character's personal space within the game world. It can be a character-owned property, residence, or land that they have acquired or developed. Taking it from a player's perspective, the definition and function of a private domain might seem narrow, but when looked at from the other side, many other possibilities are open.
"That means you should be able to control many things... um, I'm not sure, but maybe you can do it using System Call? That's something I've heard from the celestials," Soran said.
"'System Call'?" Anubis repeated the word, recalling something about his personal status and his battles against the GMs. They also used something similar. "What about Access Authority, System Command, Access Privilege... and also Holder?"
"That is... aaaa," Soran hesitated, thinking about how to answer. "What is it exactly, Lumine?"
"System Call is a command given to someone who has authority over a space, territory, or a private domain, if you will. It's a basic command that doesn't require an Authority Level, and the commands that can be applied are pre-designed commands, and they are lightweight commands," Lumine began to explain.
Explaining this concept would still be incomplete without mentioning what Authority Level is. Basically, not everyone is blessed with an Authority Level, and only those who are "special and unique" have this status. In short, this status is like a bridge that connects mortals with the power of the celestials.
But to use only System Call - which is the lowest form of Command Call - one doesn't need to have an Authority Level but rather gains authorization from the owner of the Authority Level. A close analogy might be like an employee trusted to be responsible for a job by their superior - a higher entity or the owner of the Authority Level themselves.
"In a simple example, Soran here can use System Call through me as an intermediary because I took Authority Level from Anubis. But this same Soran wouldn't be able to use Command Call without Anubis's involvement. Besides, I don't recall if there's a Call that's quite useful outside of a private domain," Lumine continued.
Because System Call can only execute lightweight commands, its function is equally as lightweight as the scale it operates on. It can be used to check how many inhabitants are inside the private domain or to know the location of members who are outside the world map from the floating status list, and so on. Regardless, what's clear is that the one who can control and authorize System Call is still the owner of that authority.
"As for Command Call, this is an advanced form of System Call, with fairly broad commands that can even influence objects or others within certain limits. However, to use it, each Call of Command Call requires a certain Authority Level to really work."
That briefly explains the godlike abilities that GM-Hugo had at that time. It not only affected Hugo's avatar but also the surroundings and even Anubis himself. "And then Access Privilege... I guess that's a higher form that can provide many more superior abilities?" Anubis guessed.
"That's enough to say it's correct. Indeed, someone who has fought against GMs can read the enemy very well," Lumine replied.
From all the explanations, it can be said that they all refer to the abilities of the celestials. That alone is already incredibly powerful and almost impossible to beat when facing them in a real battle. However, there is still a higher form than all, that is access to the very essence of the celestials' abilities - the true powers of gods and goddesses. Even they themself cannot choose who or what will gain the access, and for those who possess it, the ability to reshape the very fabric of the world lies in their hands.
"And that's what you asked about, the Holder," Lumine said.
Soran, who had been listening for a while, added, "I remember Dravenic using some Calls that originated from The Bloodmoon Sword," he said nonchalantly. "Because it's a celestial's treasure, the sword indeed possesses some of their powers, which they themselves don't have to this day."
He then provided a rather astonishing example. "Anyone who gets killed by the Bloodmoon Sword will not have a second chance of life. Their fate will be severed along with their lives at that very moment. It's a cheat ability that greatly favored us... um, Dravenic during the war."
Strangely, Anubis was absolutely certain that he had just acquired this knowledge now, at this very moment, here. Yet, he seemed to already understand well what Soran had just said, even beyond his comprehension of this world and himself. "It's the Bloodmoon Sword, after all," he mumbled.
"We've arrived."
The door to the Treasure Chamber could only be opened by Anubis - in fact, all the features in this private domain were under Anubis's authority. He might be able to delegate similar authority to his subordinates, but how to do that would take more time.
Everything was neatly arranged and clean, with various sizes of glass cases and shapes displaying weapons, armor, accessories, and practically every type of equipment imaginable. "Whoa... um... this is more like an exhibition of items than an armory?!" Soran muttered.
"But all the items here have their own characteristics and uniqueness; it seems the Ministers were quite selective in choosing these spoils of war," Lumine added, able to deduce general information from the items.
A quick glance from the entrance, and Soran could immediately grasp one truth about all these items. "These... are all the equipment dropped by players during dungeon raids, right? It seems my assumption was correct, that this place can also function as a dungeon, not just a private domain."
