My head was pounding, my eyes refused to open. I could feel every part of my body aching, I struggled to focus and bring myself to open my eyes.

"Wake up human." grunted a voice as spit flew out of its mouth.

Sendo could feel his cold spit sliding down his face, with disgust Sendo opened his eyes and jolted up right despite the pain he felt across his body and wiped the spit from his face in an instant.

"He's up." said a calm voice who was struggling to pronounce the words he was speaking. Two of them were tall and muscular with hunting gear attached to their belts, their skin was a dark muddy green. You could tell just from a quick glance that they were not friendly. The other green creature was very short and his skin was a lighter green, its ears were very large and it had a quiver with some arrows on his back.

Before Sendo could react he was surrounded by the 3 green creatures and thrown to the floor.

"Calm down." whispered the same calm voice.

Sendo could not fight them off him he had to stop or he would be killed.

"Get off me, I'm calm what do you want with me?" Sendo said holding back his eagerness to attack.

"Calm down. We don't want to hurt you." said another voice, deeper than the last.

"Why would we hurt our own slave?" sniggered the calm voice.

Am I a slave? I need to escape from this place, looking around Sendo tried to find an exit however the creatures still had him surrounded. He would have to wait for an opening. Or make one himself.

Sendo remembered the skills he had and analyzed the creatures in front of him.

"You alive buddy?" questioned Kundor which I assumed was the cook of this group.

"Uhh Yeah sorry, what do you mean I'm a slave?" I parried hoping I simply misheard them."

"I can see you are new around here, my hunting party just happened to stumble across a lowly human and we thought you would be a perfect fit to be our porter." Gathor sniggered clearly showing he was the alpha of the group.

"Porter? like, carry around your shit?" I said trying to confirm my knowledge from Fantasy MMO.

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

"Exactly, you are smarter than I thought lad." Gallom the goblin said while taking down his hood showing his face to reveal a huge nose and a scarred face.

Okay, I am in no position to beat them right now Sendo thought using analyze on himself. The pain he felt across his body seemed to have faded.

『Name: Sendo The Great

Race: Human

Legendary Skills: Hacking Level 1 (0/20)』

Sendo The Great? This was my username for Fantasy MMO. If I knew this would be my name I would have just chosen Sendo. All I have is my hacker skill I need to stick with this group until I slowly take their skills and am able to overthrow them.

"Here ya go," Gathor said handing me a filled backpack.

I put the backpack on and was shocked by the weight of the thing. No wonder they want a porter. If I remember correctly I can steal skills from people who are alive with a 20% chance. I thought of activating the skill and tried to steal Gathor's blood lust skill. I closed my eyes and I could see thousands of green characters of data being transferred to me. I was stealing it! A split second later the characters changed to a red color and my eyes opened.

『Normal Skill Steal Failed: Cool Down 1 Day』

That was my new skill? I have never seen anything like that before, it was like I was stealing the very data that made up the orc. I need to learn more about my skill. A one-day cooldown? I have to remember to try this every day. The group started walking into the forest moving their hands signaling me to follow.

The first thing we came across was a skunk like a creature. I analyzed it as soon as we saw it.

『Race: Skick

Skills: Stealth Level 1 (5/20)

Strong Appetite Level 2 (20/50)』

A second later the goblin knocked an arrow and shot the Skick. The leader orc drew his spear and stabbed the Skick in the head, just before the blow landed I was able to activate the hacking skill.

I saw the green characters again and this time the characters flowed towards me at lightning speed.

『Before Death Skill Steal Success:』

『Skill Strong Appetite gained.』

After the notification disappeared the Skick was dead.

"Nice one boys," the cook said with a fat grin on his face.

It worked, I stole the skill. Once again finding the process in doing so, awesome.

『Skill Name: Strong Appetite

Summary: This skill allows the user to eat anything he pleases, the higher level the skill the faster it is to digest anything eaten without consequence and make the taste somewhat bearable.』

I see that I only get one skill per steal. However, I remember that if I consume the dead creature I should get all the skills it possessed. This goes hand and hand with my new skill. I wonder if I can get abilities from eating plants and whatever my new skill will let me. I analyzed myself once again.

『Name: Sendo The Great

Race: Human

Skills: Strong Appetite Level 2 (20/50)

Legendary Skills: Hacking Level 1 (6/20)』

6/20 on my hacking skill? This must mean that I gain one point for a failed steal and 5 for a successful one, I will need to test this further. The group started walking away leaving the Skick where it died.

"Hey, do you mind if I eat this?" I questioned praying for the chance to test my theory.

"They taste like shit, but if you are that hungry go ahead just keep up." One of the orcs said in shock at my request.

I grabbed the body of the animal and started stuffing it into my face while following them behind. I struggled to eat it but it didn't taste that bad despite it being raw. This must be due to my new skill.

After a whole ten minutes, I finally finished the body. I ate every ounce of it including the fur. It felt like I was absorbing the data this time. Instead of stealing it.

『After Death Steal Success:』

『Skill Stealth gained.』

It worked. My plan would work. I will gain as many skills as I can from stealing the skills from the creatures we hunt. if lucks on my side I would also steal some skills from the orcs and goblin. Then my victory should be ensured, I can take all their remaining skills, becoming free and with a bunch of new skills at my disposal.

I had no time to think about how I got here or why I'm here. I can do all that crap after I free myself.

We continue to travel through the forest towards the orcs camp. I thought the group was treating me better than I thought they would. That was until we arrived at the camp.
