The Hunter: I Copy Traits and Eat Meat at Every Meal During the Famine

Chen Ergou transmigrates and wakes up as a good-for-nothing who’s been driven out of his home by his entire clan. All he has are his widowed sister-in-law and his elderly mother. Fortunately, he awakens the “Trait Copy System.” Touch someone for a minute, and he can copy their strongest talent trait. So he copies “Deadeye” from a hunter, shoots an arrow straight through a ferocious tiger’s head, and becomes a tiger-slaying hero. He copies “One Man Against Ten Thousand” from a county commandant, fights ninety-nine gray wolves alone, and slaughters them beneath a sky drenched in blood-red moonlight. He copies “Mastery of Statecraft” from a retired great scholar, gaining a photographic memory and mastery of both the pen and the sword. He copies “Martial Arts Grandmaster” from a martial arts master, growing stronger with every fight until no one in the land can match him. He copies “God of War” from the Grand General Who Guards the Nation, commands three armies, and wins every battle. He brews the strongest liquor of the age, creates its most fragrant perfume, and amasses a fortune. At seventeen, he passes the military imperial exam at the top of his class. The emperor bestows a name upon him, shocking the entire court. He outshines an envoy from the Liao with his poetry before the emperor, and people across the land call him the “Poetry Immortal.” And all of this is only the beginning. Japanese pirates raid the borders, the Manchus eye the south, and traitors in the martial world secretly join forces. A storm that will engulf the entire land is brewing. From village hunter to legendary god of war, this is the story of a man who ascends to godhood.
