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.
Berserker's Fury
Dylan has only three goals set for the rest of five years before the arrival of players. Do tasks to earn contribution points, level up to 40. Well, before the First Major Event, the Invasion of Demons, he at least needed to be at level 50 to even hope of exploiting the opportunities in his past life memory. As for surviving?
It might sound cowardly but Dylan knew that he could just always hide inside his spatial domain. He's not particularly egoistic to not resort to it. Life is more important than dignity and pride for him! Yup, he's that kind of person. After all, what can you do with dignity and pride? Can you eat them? Nah, those two might even lead you to an early death.
Dignity and pride, without strength, are only burdens. In a world where the bigger fist speaks, the only purpose of pride and dignity is to compensate for one's weakness and incompetence.
As Dylan thought of this, he communicated with his Berserker Deer. With the use of Shared Sense, Dylan's perspective shifted.
...
Outside the Congyun City, a massive deer, almost 10 feet big and five meters wide. It has three crimson horns pointed proudly at the sky. Its body looks sturdy, with dark blue fur that gives it a ferocious look.
Its eyes reflected the azure blue sky. An aura of majesty and savagery was oozing out of his body that made the passersby and guards of the city apprehensive. They didn't dare to even look at it for long.
The guards maintained a distance of ten meters. One of them swallowed. "How should we deal with it? This is a high-level beast Berserker Deer! With only one stomp, it could destroy a street and bulldoze a building with a ram on its head."
"What can we do!? We can't lock it up with our strength. Berserker Deer is the next evolution of Savage Deer. Even the experienced warriors of the alliance would think twice to provoke it."
"What should we do then? Let those warriors do this. Our pay grade isn't enough for us to lose our life. I still have a daughter waiting for me at home."
With this conversation, the guards further distance themselves.
On the other hand, the merchant carriages and most passersby didn't dare to walk near the Berserker Deer.
"T-that... If my memory serves, right? Aren't Berserker Deer's likes to kill people and are extremely brutal? Why does that one look wise and composed? Just like a human?" A warrior at level 15 happened to pass by. Although he's not a member of the Warrior Alliance and couldn't even enter the Congyun Mirror. He still had read some parts of the Monster-Beast Encyclopedia.
Thoughtful, the warrior stared at the intimidating Berserker Deer licked its paw and fur like most cats would. This painted a contrasting picture to the onlookers.
According to the Monster-Beast Encyclopedia, Savage Deer are born killers. That's why it was named "Savage" in the first place. On the other hand, their next evolution, Berserker Deer, was ruthless to themselves and their enemies. As the name itself says, "Berserker," it would go crazy in battle. The angrier it was, the more power it exerted and the more crazy it became. Of course, Berserker Deer are actually as smart as most human teens due to their evolution. But their cruel nature made this fact not obvious.
Now, seeing a Berserker Deer who behaves with high awareness and a gentle demeanor makes him speechless.
On the other hand, the Berserker Deer Dylan looked around, smirking inwardly. 'Stupid NPCs. They're treating me like those barbaric Berserker. I'm different from those uncivilized fools.'
Dylan was speechless as he heard the Berserker Deer's inward thoughts. 'Let me look at your status!

...
Dylan was surprised with the Deer's 10,000 HP. After all, he himself has only 3,000+. This anomaly made him curious.
Since he already knows most descriptions of the skills. He focused on the Deer's Innate Talents instead.
Berserker's Fury (Purple)- Blessed with Unmatched Vitality. High HP and regeneration. Every 10% decrease in HP gains a 20% boost to STR and AGI.
Swift Feet (Blue)- With nimble feet, you are a lot faster than your peers, extremely agile, and can turn in any direction with ease. You have an excellent talent with movement techniques and their effectiveness significantly increases.
Strong Body (Green)- An innately strong physique. Impervious to most cold weapons below silver quality. Muscle fibers could be recruited more efficiently than most.
Demonic Nature (Green)- You have a trace of demonic bloodline. A decent talent for dark attributes skills and techniques. Slight weakness for light attribute attacks.
Tough Physique (White)- A body that is as durable as steel. High talent for the body path. Skin, muscles, and bones are tougher than normal.
At this moment, Dylan finally knew why the Berserker's Deer HP was extremely abnormal. It was because of Berserker's Fury Purple talent. As expected of Purple! It was really too powerful.
A 10,000 HP was already considered a boss-level HP in the early stage of the game. Not to mention, as the Berserker Deer levels up, it would only go higher and higher, leaving creatures in the same realm to dust.
'If the Berserker Deer died accidentally. I would get all of his innate talents.' Dylan rubbed his chin.
'Hey, are you wishing more to have accidents? You're really greedy!' the Berserker Deer mocked through the spiritual link.
Dylan chuckled. 'If I'm not greedy. Is it still me?? And no, I don't wish for you to die. You're more useful alive than dead. I'm not narrow-minded and blind just for short-term benefits. You're a part of my strength, after all, so there's no need to covet your Innate talents.'
'Still, I have to admit that your evolution brought you a qualitative increase in strength. That Berserker's Fury was the result of your evolution, right?'
The Berserker Deer felt smug hearing the envious main body. 'That's right. Every evolution brings forth a huge change for any creatures.'
Dylan didn't retort. 'As long as I step on the Noble Realm, I'll have my chance at evolution. I wonder what evolution paths are available to me?' then he sighed. 'The trace of demonic bloodline in your body is a trouble.'
Everyone has different evolution paths based on their genes, personality, and subconscious desires. It's not random, and everyone's evolution path is only suited for themselves.
