Is there a better term for this than anything usually associated with a cold and ruthless blood-sucking nocturnal killer?
Power Leveling
I prefer to think of it as immortal, strong, smart, experienced, connected, a little bit edgy, and very very cool. It's not like this is going to inspire anyone to suck blood...
If you must, call it "How to live for 1000 years"
Or how to level up 100x faster :)
To quote Indiana Jones: "It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage."
Alternative? Yes. Better? Not that I've seen so far. :P

I think they mean "the most interesting man in the world." It's true that this is a recognizable enough concept that
(a) an advertising company made a series of ads based on it, and
(b) this itself was successful enough to have spawned its own memes.
