...

'The panel had changed. It now clearly categorizes the skills. This is really convenient!' Dylan stared at the panel with interest. 'There's that essence skill again. It seems like essence skills are those unique to every monster. It is their specialty.'

He was curious about the skill. Dylan's eyes lit up as he saw the green icon on it. When Dylan clicked it. The description of the skill appeared in the panel.

[Lvl 1 Firebody. Active Skill. Emit high temperature around the body. A continuous damage directly proportioned to the INT attribute. Causes 10-hp + 10 INT (-20hp) + 3 WIS (-3hp) = -33hp total damage per second.]

Dylan felt scared as he saw the effect. One has to remember that he only has total hp. If the frog touches him for four seconds. Wouldn't it kill him!?

"Fortunately I didn't act recklessly and directly grabbed it without covering my hands. As expected of Essence Skill."

Then, he clicked the intermediate skill called Buster Tongue. It was the skill the frog used to attack him earlier, which he managed to dodge. The buster tongue was actually far weaker than the Fire Body even though it was a single-type attack skill.

However, Dylan knew that Buster Tongue, although it causes less damage, was far more practical because you could launch it in the distance, while with Fire Body, you need to close the distance and touch the enemy to cause damage.

"Go, you can live your life to the fullest. Don't immediately die, okay? I need you to work hard and level up your skills before you die. This is for our future." Dylan patted his frog self and issued shameless instructions.

After all, once the Dylan frog managed to level up the skill. The original Dylan would be able to inherit it which is a profit! As for leveling up to gain attributes? Dylan can't get the attributes, so he can't care.

He only needs the spark frog to level up the skills, experience life, and die to contribute WIS and CHA attributes to him!

Unexpectedly, the frog nodded at him which made Dylan unable to react for a moment. Dylan cheered "Great! It seems you're a little clever due to your high INT and 3 WIS.

...

Dylan came out of the wooden carriage. He looked at the driver and bowed politely. "Thank you for the free ride, sir."

"You're lucky that this town is one of our routes. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let you in." The driver chuckled.

Dylan smiled in response. It was already four days since he parted ways with Dylan Frog. He hoped that Dylan Frog would be able to survive.

'Status!'

'It's already some days but I haven't leveled up yet. Fuck me!'

Dylan cursed inwardly.

Well, it couldn't be blamed on him. After all, he hasn't killed any creature yet... The mosquito and frog? He seized their body. Unfortunately, the game didn't count as killing. So experience points for level up.

Dylan felt shit since the driver and the adults inside the carriage on the free ride he got had a level of 15-20.

Of course, Dylan knew that it was because they were adults. They must have killed a thing or two in their life. More so in this dangerous world. As for him? He's only been in this world for 5 days...

Ding!

Suddenly, a familiar ringing sound echoed in his mind.

[The spark frog killed a wooden bee. It gained a significant amount of exp and leveled up to 4.]

[Congratulations! Because the spark frog and the host shared a soul. You also gain the exact amount of exp it gained. You leveled up to 3!]

Dylan was dumbfounded at this moment. It took a few seconds before he realized what happened so he couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Hahahaha! I actually leveled up and could get exp from my other selves!"

The pedestrian gave Dylan concerned glances which made Dylan shut up due to embarrassment. Oppss...

"Is there a problem with the young man's brain?" A guard clicked his tongue.

A woman gave Dylan a side glance and hurriedly pulled her kid away from him as she felt that Dylan was crazy. "See? Don't be like that kid in the future, okay?"

The kid looked at Dylan and his mom and nodded blankly.

Dylan looked at the woman. "Hey, that's rude."

Unfortunately, the woman seemed to be frightened and quickened her pace along with her kid.

'What kind of bullshit...' David rolled his eyes. He looked at the people, giving them concerned eyes, and decided to quickly enter the town.

Once inside, Dylan wiped the sweat on his forehead and summoned his panel again.

...

Dylan took a deep breath. Since he and the spark frog are the same person. He actually also gained the exact same amount of exp it gets from killing!

This changes everything...

If before, he could only get the skills, talent, and memories once it died. Now, he could also use it for grinding exp! Another reason for his split souls to survive as long as possible!

Although he can't gain attributes directly from his other self. The exp gained for every kill directly made up for this shortcoming!

Dylan was happy and gave a thumbs up to his other self in his mind. 'Nice kill!'
