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.
Yuan, A Protagonist Template
Dylan nodded. 'Just defeating? Not kill? What about black?'
[Yes, no need to kill. You can challenge them once a day to earn the points. For black, 100 upgrade points. If they had 2, it would be 200. But black innate skills are once in a blue moon, and you will likely die to encounter such a destiny-defying being in your current state.]
[As for blue innate talents and below. There are no points to obtain from them.]
'Okay, thanks system. You're a huge help.'
Dylan shook his head as the system didn't respond any longer. It seems it only responds when asked about something important.
'I can defeat the same creature one time at most in a day. That means I need to challenge them every day to farm the points in them. If I defeat the same creature twice on the same day, I won't gain any upgrade points any longer and need to wait for the next day to challenge them again.'
Dylan pondered.
Just like that, Dylan heaved a sigh as extreme fear appeared on his face. 'I don't want to experience death again.' his eyelids trembled and his breathing quickened. 'This world is more dangerous than in the game!'
'No! I must prepare a fail-safe in case I die again.'
As he thought of this, a blue wisp of light came out of his mouth and shot towards the goblin.
As if awakened, the goblin nodded at Dylan. It was one of the soul fragments that had remained unused when the Berserker Deer and the Hobgoblin were still alive. Now, Dylan used him as a backup.
In case he encounters an unforeseen death. He could use the body of the goblin to resurrect!
'With this, I can be more assured. Caution is the mother of safety.' Satisfied with this life-preserving method, Dylan smiled. 'It would be harder and harder to kill me the more I use my souls to seize bodies. In the future, I will scatter myself in every corner of the universe just to be safe. Let's see who could kill me at that time...'
However, Dylan didn't let it inflate his ego. Arrogance is the downfall of many geniuses. In this magical world, there are a lot of strange means and bizarre powers. Who knows if there's something that could actually counter this ability of his? Dylan didn't dare to let his guard down.
He could only act arrogantly in his head, but that doesn't mean he would do it in reality. After he experienced death, the more he didn't want to experience it again. The feeling of death terrified him!
...
Inside the Evan Household. A blue light appeared, revealing Evan cross-legged on the ground.
'Huh?' Evan scanned his surroundings. He stood up quickly as he saw his grandfather and the familiar room.
"Greetings senior!" Evan bowed at the young man in front of him. Evan's slightly middle-aged appearance and the young man's figure formed a contrasting scene.
The young man looked at Evan with a smile and then at the baby in the room. His smile became even wider. "In the future, there's a new pillar in our family. Make sure to let him grow to meet his potential and don't paper him!"
At this time, Chris revealed a serious demeanor. Evan prostrated on the ground. "Yes senior!"
"Easy times create weak men. Only hard times create strong men. Understood?"
"Yes senior!!"
Chris nodded with a faint smile and went beside the baby. The baby looked at the Noble Realm expert with his blue eyes that contained a hint of wisdom.
"You would grow to be a wise fine young man." Chris chuckled. He waved his hand and a necklace appeared out of thin air. It flew to the baby's neck and attached itself. "This is my gift. It will save your life once you encounter something."
Evan lifted his head. When he saw the necklaces similar to the one he used inside the space. His lips turned to a smile.
"What is the name of this baby boy again?"
"His name is Yuan. Yuan Evan..." Evan respectfully answered his grandfather.
Unbeknownst to them, it wasn't the original baby Yuan anymore. It was Dylan's soul fragment that occupied the baby's body.
The baby Yuan looked at the two people, particularly at the Noble Realm Expert, he instinctively felt a sense of fear. Currently, due to his not-so-developed brain, his thoughts are muddled. However, his intuition told him that the young man who gave him a necklace wasn't a good thing.
Chris Evan put his arms behind his back. The aura of an expert appeared. "Good name! Then I'll excuse myself."
The young man turned to a white light. Only after a few seconds of his grandfather's disappearance did Evan stand up. 'Grandfather Chris's presence is really as unsettling as always.'
Dylan, who was in the Green Beast Forest, watched all this quietly through the shared senses.
'Luckily, this old foggy didn't find any abnormalities. As it turned out, he may be a Noble Realm Expert but he's not strong enough to feel the changes at the soul level of the baby even though it was right under his nose.'
'He may not be as terrifying as I thought. I was just too weak so the gap of strength seems large to me.'
Dylan then opened the status of Yuan to see the reason behind why he was considered a heavenly genius.
'Status!'

Dylan read the rest of the techniques and finally understood the reasons why this fucking NPC could dominate version 3. 'This is a protagonist template!'
