### **Core and Level Strength in Panteara**

**Core**:

Every living creature in Panteara possesses a core, an accumulation of mana within the body. The core's potency is graded by its color, ranging from dark to bright, with white representing the highest concentration of mana ever achieved. While absorbing another living being's core can increase your level, it is a risky process. This absorption can result in catastrophic outcomes, such as an explosion or becoming corrupted and overtaken by the nature of the original core's owner.

**Level Strength**:

- **Level 2 and Below**: Represents the strength of a normal human, marking the natural physical limits of the human body on Earth.

- **Level 2.1 and Above**: Individuals at this level can perform superhuman feats, such as crushing rocks, punching through walls, and running at extraordinary speeds.

- **Level 10 and Above**: At this stage, individuals begin to apply mana to their moves and skills. Most inhabitants from mana-rich worlds start at this level.

- **Level 20 and Above**: Those at this level age extremely slowly, and further leveling becomes ten times more difficult.

- **Level 30**: Mythical creatures like dragons and leaders of powerful races in mana-rich worlds occupy this level.

- **Level 50 and Above**: Beings at this level are nearly immortal, capable of altering geographical landscapes during battles, such as leveling mountains. This is the highest level currently attainable.

**System Interface**:

The system in Panteara displays the following information:

- **Levels**: A general measure of an individual's strength and capability.

- **Race**: The species or origin of the individual.

- **Age**: The chronological age of the individual.

- **Talent**: An accumulation of luck, mana capacity, and intelligence. It determines how quickly an individual levels up, understands, and gains skills. Though not definitive, it provides an approximate estimation of potential. Talent tiers range from F to SSS+, with changes in talent being extremely rare.

- **Skills**: Any proficiency the individual possesses, such as cooking, martial arts, sewing, or acting. Like talent, skills are tiered similarly and improve through repetition and hard work. There is no limit to the number of skills a person can acquire.

- **Attributes**: These increase with level and include:

 - **Strength**: Physical power.

 - **Agility**: Speed and reflexes.

 - **Perception**: Awareness and sensory acuity.

 - **Vitality**: Health and life force.

 - **Endurance**: Ability to withstand damage or fatigue.

 - **Stamina**: Overall energy and physical resilience.

 - **Mana**: Magical energy or power.

**System Points (SP)**:

System Points are gradually gained through improving skills, acquiring new skills, or increasing attributes. It takes 10,000 SP to level up. Additionally, every 1,000 SP grants 0.1 points, which can be used to enhance attribute figures.

- A person's level does not solely determine their actual strength. A lower-level individual may overcome a higher-level one through superior skills or strategy. For example, a Level 2 individual with martial arts skill at tier A could potentially defeat a Level 5 opponent.

**Example System**:

For a normal human who occasionally runs and enjoys cooking:

- **Race**: Human

- **Age**: 26

- **Level**: 1.3

- **Attributes**:

 - **Strength**: 0.7

 - **Agility**: 1.0

 - **Perception**: 0.1

 - **Endurance**: 0.3

 - **Stamina**: 0.6

 - **Mana**: 0.005

**Domain**:

In Panteara, a domain is a territory ruled by an individual or a group. To claim a domain, one must acquire a rectangular crystal, often found by defeating the main boss of an area or discovered by chance. By placing their blood on the crystal and burying it in the land, the ruler binds themselves to the territory, gaining control over its resources and inhabitants. Domains can change hands through conquest, the death of the ruler, or other means.

**Domain Rulers Conference**:

Every three years, the Domain Rulers Conference gathers the rulers of various domains, hosted by the system.Thi

s conference allows them to exchange information, set up trade routes, form alliances, and address conflicts.
