I, Antique Shop Owner, Copy Divine Skills to Brave the Occult

In the future, a mysterious game called Tianyan descends upon the world, forcing all of humanity to take part. Death in the game means the end in reality, and a player's level determines their place in society. Ning Chen, an antique shop owner, is accidentally dragged into a high-difficulty starting instance. With no way out, he awakens a Copy System that lets him duplicate other people's unique skills and the properties of their items by touching or observing them.

As Ning Chen pulls off one miracle after another in the instances, he realizes that Tianyan is no ordinary game, but part of a massive conspiracy. Every “antique” in the game is linked to the soul of a powerful person who has gone missing in the real world. With help from his housekeeper, Qin Wanyue, Ning Chen fends off veteran players hunting him while delving into the truth behind the game. Through mind-bending challenges and ever-shifting battles of human nature, Ning Chen rises from a disposable pawn at the bottom to an administrator with the highest authority, capable of shaking the game's underlying rules. He uncovers a shocking mystery: the future world is being controlled by some kind of supernatural force.
