SSS-Class Suicide Hunter

Some are born under a lucky star, destined for wealth, fame, and endless opportunities, while others are left struggling in the shadows. Confucius Kim belongs firmly to the latter group. As an F-rank hunter with virtually no useful abilities, he spends his days lamenting his miserable life and admiring the legendary Flame Emperor, a top-tier hunter who tears through the mysterious monster-filled Tower as if it were nothing more than a stage built for him.

Everything changes when Confucius suddenly awakens a remarkable ability that allows him to copy the skills of other people. There is, however, one brutal condition attached to this power: he can only acquire someone’s skill after they have killed him.

If Confucius wants to surpass the hunter he has idolized for so long, he’ll have to die again and again, turning every death into another step toward becoming stronger.

Note: “Gongja,” the Korean term used in the original title, refers to Confucius, the renowned Eastern philosopher.
