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.
[You leveled up!]
[You received three upgrade points!]
At this time, the donut hole on Jericho's chest began to close at a speed visible to the naked eye. Broken bones started to form out of nowhere, and blood flowed backward. In the end, a new skin as smooth as that of a baby sealed the fist-sized sole.
Dylan couldn't help but feel awe even after how many times he saw such scenes. It was a mysterious spectacle beyond understanding, beyond science! Is this world really the same game world? Merely just constructed out a bunch of data from programmers of Earth...
He was more willing to believe that this was a real-world whose information was transmitted to the brains of the programmers. The world wasn't created by them, but it merely happened that the information emerged out of their brain in the form of inspiration. Maybe that's the same way for anime and fictional stories in his past life. They actually exist somewhere...
'Such messy things. It's not someone like me to think about. Once I achieve a high level of power to begin to contact laws maybe I can satisfy this curiosity of mine.
Jericho, at this moment, stood up and examined his body with a satisfied expression.
"How is it?" Dylan smiled.
Jericho patted Dylan's shoulders. "Good! The innate of this talent... I won't let ourselves down! I'll surely develop the talents to their full extent and step into the Demi-God Realm in the future."
Dylan was gobsmacked. As expected of himself! Full of aspirations!
"Good spirit! I look forward to it in the future. It would be good to have a Demi-God Realm helper. I'm not actually desperate to gain the pseudo divinity to become Demi-God." Dylan smiled. "With my Solo-Leveling Halo that is just a matter of time. What I want is a Demi-God helper that could assist me in the future. Your body has good innate talents. I'm assured."
"If you die halfway through. It's also not a loss since I'll inherit your innate talents. The pseudo divinity, under the help of my panel, had a certain chance to become a complete divinity and condensed godhood!"
Hearing this, Jericho smacked his lips with displeasure. "I just sacrificed myself for you before and you're thinking about my death again."
Yes, the soul fragment inside Jericho was actually the soul fragment inside the Berserker Deer from before.
"Hey, hey... It's not like that at all." Embarrassed and caught red-handed, Dylan couldn't help but cough. "Am I that kind of person?"
Jericho sighed. "Exactly! We're that kind of person. No one can know us better than us, right?"
"..."
Dylan didn't know how to respond.
What the hell!
"Well, let's talk about more important things. Have you received the memories of that body?" Dylan masterly changed the subject with a serious face.
Jericho's brows knotted as he began to ponder. Then it gradually eased and became relaxed. "Yes, this guy is an inner disciple in the Windset Sect. His master is an elder of one of the major peaks of that sect. An expert at the Saint Realm!"
Dylan clenched his fist unconsciously. His first death was at the hands of the Noble Realm. So, how powerful were those Saints?
In the game, for reference, the Saints had achieved flight. Unconstrained of gravity and able to cross vast distances instantly. On the level of destruction, able to overturn a big city with a sweep of their attacks. However, their limit is they are still vulnerable in the face of natural disasters, unlike Beyonders.
'This world is too dangerous. If I face a Saint, I'll surely die 6 out of 10. It depends if I could enter my spatial dominion first. I still need to improve my strength!'
Dylan recalled that in the incoming demon invasion 3 years and a half from now. The commanders of the demon army are commanded by eight Demon Beyonders. Such a lineup... Only the masters of the sects could resist.
As for the number of Saints? Each of them leads a squad of Demon Nobles and there are fifty-six squads! That is equivalent to fifty-six saints leading them. Just the Demon Nobles weren't something Dylan could fight at his current Awakened Realm.
Dylan took a deep breath. "How many Saints are there in the Windset Sect?"
"Five... There are five peaks in the Sunset Sect. Only inner disciples are eligible to live at each peak."
"Only five? Damn it! How can the Zhao Kingdom resist the demon invasion!?"
Dylan was speechless.
Not to mention, the demons can call for reinforcements at any time.
"Well, the remaining 1 and a half years stay with me here. I need the upgrade points in your body. Only with sufficient strength could we resist the incoming catastrophe." Dylan said with a sense of determination.
Jericho shook his head lazily. "In terms of survival, you are number 1! You can die and resurrect in your bodies... You just need to send one or two of us outside of Zhao Kingdom to be safe."
"I know," Dylan smirked. "But I don't want to fail the first major event in this world. That would be a stain on my record. What I want is absolute dominance! Sweep the major events perfectly."
"Well, after 1 and a half years, what should I do?"
"Return to the Windset Sect. There are various resources you can use to level." Dylan licked his lips as he thought of potential gains. "Use the information channels of the sect and pass the important events or happenings within the kingdom to me. Lastly, I want you to learn all kinds of wind spells. So we would have a lot of spells learned."
"Such benefits are massive! I can pretend to be a mage in the future!"
Dylan let out a chuckle as he thought of the image of him pretending to be a wind mage.
"..."
A black line appeared on Jericho's face. "You're not taking this seriously aren't you?"
"Shut up. Let me look at my status first."
