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.
Midnight Shadow Mountain
Dylan eyed the potions on the glassware carefully. The potions are categorized into four colors. Blue, red, green, and black.
He knew these were just low-level potions. He also knew their effects. However, he still wants to make sure their effects are consistent to what he remembers.
"Lady, How effective are these potions here?" He asked.
"As you see. These are low-level potions. Our stock of mid-level prices was limited. They already sold yesterday." The woman wore a business smile. "The red here is the healing potion. Heals 5 points per second for 20 seconds."
'Nothing knew.' Dylan nodded thoughtfully.
"The blue ones are mana potions. They are a bit more expensive because it's mana we're talking about. Due to the law of demand and supply, the prices are ten coppers higher than the healing potions."
"The mages always stock mana potions so it's already good that we still had stock. As you know, the spells of mages and wizards are mana intensive, so even lower-level potions are well sought out."
"There are only two potioneers here, making the city depend on imports. Thus, the price is higher than other places..."
Dylan listened quietly. He stared at the woman with respect. She knew that situation of the market so well!
The woman maintained her business smile. She looked at Dylan. 'He looks quite weak. Does he really have the means to buy in our shop?'
"The green color is an insect repellent. It doesn't have grades like mana or health potions. This potion is a must because the insects in the wild sometimes contains harmful miasma. They won't let anyone sleep and would persistently target you."
"I see..." Dylan caressed his chin as if he was really listening, even though he was not. Then, Dylan's eyes unconsciously were attracted to the black potion with ant symbol. He was astounded.
How could this be!? There's actually a black waste potion here!?
The low-level black waste potion enhances the comprehensive attribute of any creature's 50% comprehensively for 5 seconds. But the most outstanding effect was it would make anyone immune to all types of damage for 3 seconds. A popular lifesaving ability. The only limitation it had was that you could only take it one time a week. If you take it twice a week, ones level would regress 10 levels. If consumed thrice a week, you would regress another 20 levels.
In his past life, there were lots of players who was force to consume thrice in just a week due to unexpected dangers. From level 100, their characters' level fell to level 70.
The thing is, it shouldn't have appeared here. The low level black waste potion only appeared in the game 10 years after the arrival of players.
Suddenly, Dylan remembered that he was 10 years early before the game would begin and he understood instantly.
"Sir??"
Dylan snapped out of his thoughts. "Oh... Sorry, I just remembered something else."
The woman nodded. "This black potion here is our newest product..."
Dylan listened and confirmed that everything was consistent based on his memories.
The price of the healing potion was a hundred copper coins. The mana potions were a hundred ten copper coins. The insect repellent costs only twenty copper coins. Lastly, the black waste potions. It costs two hundred copper coins.
Dylan purchased two HP and mana potions. Three insect repellent and one black waste. When he paid them, the woman showed a surprised expression, which made Dylan a bit confused.
"Thanks for your patronage!"
Dylan came out of the shop. Every silver coin is equivalent to 1000 copper coins. Now, only one silver coin and 320 copper coins were left to him.
"I'm poor again damn it." He then turned his head at another shop two blocks away. It has a blue metallic board, "Los Pollos Hunter Shop," with an axe and sword logo.
Dylan knew that the money left on him would become zero. He needs to budget to buy at least a bronze-quality boots for convenient footwork. As for a helmet? He was sure that his money wasn't enough for that.
'I had financial problems to sustain my lifestyle in the past. Now, even in the game world, I'm still poor as fuck.' he couldn't help but complain secretly.
Just like that, a few moments later, Dylan came out of the shop again wearing a pair of white boots with cloudy ornaments. Now, he still felt as if someone rubbed salt into his heart. He doesn't have any money left to him anymore!
All the money earned from doing a lot of quests was spent just like that.
'It's really faster to spend money than earn it.'
Still, at least, he now has decent boots.
'Appraise!'
Appraisal skill, every player has this skill. The only function it has is to get the information of items you own. You won't be able to get details about the equipment of anyone beside you, though.

Name: Magic Cloud Boots
Type: Auxiliary
Quality: Bronze
Description: Crafted with the use of cloud slime core as the main material to make it light and comfortable. +5 AGI. +2 STR.
...
As bronze-quality equipment, it only gives additional attributes when equipped. It doesn't have special effects or skills. Only silver equipment and above have special attributes and skills.
But, Dylan was already satisfied with these. Every attribute that he could get was helpful. Success is determined by small details. Maybe that one STR would be the deciding factor of life and death? Who knows?

Just like that, now that Dylan was fully geared. He intends to go to the Midnight Shadow Mountain and challenge it with the help of his Savage Deer.
He had to get a special profession no matter what. It was crucial to help his future plans. It would be his first step to become a Top NPC!
How would players react when they get to meet a weird NPC like him? An NPC with an A-level profession and a special one to note.
Dylan clenched his fist, his eyes full of desire. 'There's also the Silver Quality Demon Slayer Sword in the Congyun River waiting for an owner... Although it's quite low quality for my past self's standard. It would be a huge help to my current level.'
