Acquire Infinite Talents and Skills Through Seizing Bodies!
Dylan got transmigrated inside a popular game "MMORPG: Magic Art Online". A game where the strongest profession was mage. He discovered that he was just an NPC and he was actually in the game 10 years before the players would arrive! Fortunately, he got three golden fingers! "Leveling Deity," which gives him unconditional 300 levels every two years regardless of the realm he was in. "Gamer Experience Multiplier" exps he received from all sources, and all forms are multiplied by 500! With these cheats in possession, Dylan officially became the fastest leveler of all verses and, perhaps, the strongest NPC. Albeit, cheater. The game boasts multiple versions. The first version: Invasion of the Demons. The demons began to invade the kingdom of Azir under the orders of one of the Demon Lords. The players must stop the Demon Lord to proceed to the next version of the game! Dylan needs to become stronger as an NPC before the arrival of the players. Unlike the players, once he dies in the game, he dies forever! He needs strong enough strength to survive and help the players to stop the demon invasion. It's also an opportunity to level up! Dylan, with the help of three cheats or innate talents, "Split Soul," "Leveling Deity," and "Gamer Experience Multiplier," now had the confidence to surpass the undying players and exploit the opportunities in the game with the help of his past life memories! Lastly, he found that he could also upgrade his Innate Talents! [You consumed 10,000 points to upgrade an innate talent. Gamer Experience Amplification (Purple) --> Gamer Experience Multiplier (Gold)] Gamer Experience Multiplier (Gold): Experience that comes from all sources and all forms are multiplied 500x! It also multiplies the effect of Leveling Deity by 2x due to their similar nature. -Innate Talents- Gamer Experience Amplification (Purple): You have the heart of a grinding master. You are blessed by the God of Games. Experience points gained from all sources in all forms are multiplied by 10! Leveling Deity (Black): This innate talent has the characteristics of transcendence and is above even the time river. You are the lord of level-ups, the one and only. Every two years, you unconditionally gain 300 levels no matter what realm you are in, directly skipping three major realms every two years. Split Soul (Black): Allows the you to split your soul. The number depends on your level. You can let your split souls possessed all types of creatures (monsters, humans, aliens, beasts, demons, any type of race, etc...), and when your sub-bodies die, you will inherit their entire lives worth of knowledge/memories, all their talents, skills, and experience for yourself! Note: This book consists of super fast level-ups, fighting boss monsters, interacting with fellow NPCs and players, cheating, various professions, and mythical creatures like elves and dragons.
Dylan's Abnormal Leveling Speed
Two years passed in the blink of an eye. What level is Dylan now? He reached level 30 without doing anything to level up in those years. The higher the level, the harder it was to level up.
Most NPCs and Players need 5-8 years of continuous grind to reach level 30. For example, Orochi. He had been fighting for five years continuously. He could be considered a genius due to his abnormal strength at his level. He possessed equally abnormal skills like black-red balls and short-distance teleportation yet he only reached level 30 for 5 years.
Reaching level 30 at 5 years was already considered super genius in this world. The higher the level, the more difficult it was to level up. From level 29 to level 30, you need 50x the amount of experience of leveling up than level 28 to 29... Of course, the reason for this was the fact that the gap of strength between levels was equally great.
A level 30 creature could slap to death three or four level 29 creatures most of the time. 'Most of the time' because there will always be those exceptions. For instance, Orochi. With his cheating abilities, he might be able to kill two levels higher than him. Of course, that is a rare feat only available to super geniuses and evil-doers.
As for Dylan? How did he reach level 30 in 2 years you asked? It was thanks to his Hobgoblin self.
In those two years, the goblin horde that the Hobgoblin possessed expanded from 150 members to 1000. One thousand goblins is the limit that every Hobgoblin can control. Though, the number increases every time they level up. Now, even after two years, the Hobgoblin only leveled up two more levels even with the help of his goblins.
The key to Dylan's level-up was thanks to Hobgoblin's super skill "Horde Control." Every time, the goblin horde, which currently has 1000 goblin members, kills creatures, the Hobgoblin would automatically get half of exps of their every kill. Yes, the horde was an exp grinding machine!
The thing is Dylan, due to his shared soul with Hobgoblin. The Hobgoblin was him and he was the Hobgoblin kind of logic. He gets the same amount of experience as Hobgoblin. From the game perspective, it was the same situation as group of high-level players boosting a newbie's account! In reality, it was more exaggerated... It was the entire goblin horde helping Dylan to level up!
As a result, Dylan didn't need to fight or complete a quest. In those two years, he instead gave his everything to level up his skills. The bloodsucking reached level 2, and both Firebody and Buster Tongue reach level 3!
As for how did he level up Bloodsucking? Every once in a while, the Hobgoblin would give him 5 goblins as a punching bag. Dylan used the bloodsucking to them thrice a month until his bloodsucking skill naturally reached level 2. Unfortunately, even after continued use of this. It still didn't reach level 3. The level of proficiency needed was astounding.
On the other hand, the Firebody was unexpectedly the fastest to level up thanks to his creativity. Dylan would be under a waterfall while using his hot steam to resist the water falling to his body. This method of training made the proficiency experience snowball.
Such uninterrupted training of his skills was joyful. Others need to give all their energy to fight or take quests to level up. Divide their energy between leveling up and earning money. But it doesn't apply to Dylan.
"How much did the goblins give me this time around? There should be at least four gold coins... Their gains this time are a little less than last month."
Dylan, inside a luxurious Inn, sat cross-legged seemingly relaxed.
He didn't also need to work too much for money. He only had to meet with his Hobgoblin. Every time unlucky adventurers are killed either by goblins or monsters inside the Green Beast Forest. Their equipment would naturally fall into the goblin horde's hands that would naturally fall to Dylan's hand, and he could sell them. Yeah, unethical but beneficial. Dylan doesn't give a fuck if his methods were unethical or illegal as long as there are benefits, who gives a shit?
Though most of the time, Dylan asked the Hobgoblin to let the goblins under him collect the monster or beast's materials they could gather with each hunt and give it to him.
Dylan is like the CEO of a company. The Hobgoblin was the manager and the goblin horde were the employees. They work hard like slaves to earn exp and money for Dylan. A passive income. This benefited Dylan greatly for two years and it was still ongoing...
Every piece of equipment on Dylan's body was considered high quality even amongst bronze equipment. Naturally, he also has one silver piece of equipment called Raging Spear!
...

He's not the same miserly poor newbie anymore.
In these two years, Dylan made valuable connections inside Congyun City and constantly communicated with Hank and Kevin to maintain his relationship with them.
It was worth mentioning as Kenjaku was still part of their group even after he abandoned them. Dylan wasn't the only one that was getting stronger. In two years, Orochi leveled up to 35, really a super genius. Hank and Kevin, from level 15 were now level 18. As for Kenjaku, he actually kept up in these past two years and reached level 19!
Dylan didn't know how Kenjaku did it. Did he kill monsters 24 hrs or something? Of course, compared to his leveling speed, Kenjaku was just a fart. Dylan's goblin horde leveling tool was just too damn cheating.
Orochi and the others were still clueless about Dylan's progress since they couldn't see his level at all. However, Orochi could vaguely perceive it. Orochi just doesn't want to believe his intuition. After all, how can someone level up so fast? Faster than even God Incarnation like him??
Yeah, I know, Dylan is a bit unscrupulous... RIP to the Unlucky Adventurers.
