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.
"The hell is that kind of speed."
Jericho watched as Dylan stopped beside him. "This is depressing as fuck. We're in the same realm now, but I couldn't even follow your speed with my eyes. What the hell is exactly going on?"
Dylan, who just circled the inner layers, wiped his forehead of sweat, trying to catch his breath. "That was thrilling!"
Then he turned his attention to Jericho and smirked. "We may be Noble Experts but I have a stronger foundation and innate talents than you."
"I feel that the superposition of my Mammoth Body and Speedster talents had pushed my speed to the limit. Maybe even those so-called Saints won't be able to reach this kind of speed that I just displayed."
"Mammoth Body and Speedster? Are those the innate talents you got?" Jericho couldn't help but feel that the main body was about to perform extraordinary feats. "Maybe you could really challenge those Saints. Based on the memories of this body, I can ascertain that even those regular Saints would have to use some treasures to catch up with your speed."
"But don't forget that there's also those geniuses. Those really strong saints can surpass your speed."
"Well, time will tell how strong I really became now. I'm itching to fight a Saint to test my progress but there's only one Saint in the core area." Dylan clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Unfortunately, I don't have much time now. I need to witness the grand event of the arrival of players tomorrow and try to interact with them."
"Players, huh..." Jericho felt apprehension as he thought of those foreign beings. Even now, he finds it hard to believe in their existence. "Are they really immortal like you told me?"
Hearing this, Dylan's face became serious. "They're like monsters in the danger zones. You kill them and they will just respawn. But what really made them dangerous is they had fast leveling speed and all of them were assisted by the game system like me..."
"The only difference between me and those players is they can't upgrade their innate talents like me and they can't split their souls. However, they can't die while I can..."
"You can die?" With a sarcastic expression, Jericho let out a cold snort. "You can die but you can also resurrect to my body and other sub-bodies."
"Sub-bodies? That's a good label for you guys. You guys are my sub-bodies and I'm the main body."
"What now?" Jericho asked.
Dylan looked around and saw the fog began to envelop the sky and the surroundings. "You go inside the space first while I'll continue to upgrade my innate talents. I need every improvement that I can now."
Just like that, Jericho entered the space leaving Dylan alone.

Man of Steel (Blue)- You had an extraordinarily tough body worthy of the "Man of Steel" title. Your physique can absorb 50% of kinetic energy to empower yourself and reduce damage received. Immune to shock effects which prevents damage to internal organs.
Titan Bloodline (Blue): Titans are close relatives of humans. They had burly gigantic bodies. Even the smallest of them towers at twenty-five meters. You inherit their characteristics and can now use their exclusive racial ability "Titan Shift"!
Fallen Demon Aura (Blue): You have a small portion of Fallen Demon Blood coursing through your veins. You have exceptional talent with demon arts and you can release an aura to knock those weaker than you unconscious.
Dylan read the description of new talents momentarily stunned. Then he looked at the sky but there was no heavenly vision. 'It seems only purple can cause heavenly vision to surface.'
'The effect of this Man of Steel Innate Talent isn't worse than purple talents though. It can actually absorb 50% of kinetic energy and gives immunity to shocks...'
Dylan took a sharp breath. This is a practical defensive effect!
What is kinetic energy? In every physical movement and motion, there's kinetic energy!
Kinetic energy is literally what gives physical movements and attacks strong force behind them that causes all sorts of blunt damage and impact.
If his body could absorb 50% of kinetic energy. From now on, the physical attacks he receives will have a 50% damage reduction!
It's not only limited to attacks. If he somehow fell from a mountain. He would receive less damage. From now on, he also doesn't need to be afraid of shocks that could damage his internal organs!
Skills and techniques that protect the internal organs are quite rare. No matter how strong one's body is outside, internal organs always remain one's weakness. Due to them being hard to temper! Such delicate things...
Of course, this doesn't apply to creatures with innate talents like Dylan. The body of an ancient mammoth and other talents strengthened his physique all around at the cellular level. This includes his internal organs, etc...
As the innate talents took effect. Dylan suddenly felt itchy all over his body. The unbearable itch forced him to roll on the ground. 'Damn it!' he gritted his teeth.
The transformation of green to blue seems to be rougher than blue to purple.
At this time, Dylan's height began to change dramatically.
5'7...
5'8...
5'9...
6'0...
It only stopped after his height was 6'8. His frame also became a little bigger than before. His wrist and forearm size literally doubled. This effect was brought by Titan Bloodline.
Following that, the bones on his body took a sheen of silver color like steel.
At this moment, an earth-shattering change also occurred to the spirit on his forehead. The body and the spirit are interconnected. The stronger the body, the stronger the spirit becomes. The physical body nourishes the soul while the soul also nourishes the body!
Lastly, an aura of malevolence and cries of demons rose sharply from Dylan's body. It took a whole five minutes before everything ended.
'Such exaggerated shit. My height can now allow me to join the NBA.' Dylan looked at his body speechless. He could hardly even recognize himself anymore.
