Chapter 1: sold to mercenaries
I am just an orphan in a god knows where orphanage.
I was sold to some mercenaries group.
I am fortunate that they did not sell me to organ trafficking groups at the very least.
Don't get me wrong this is the thing that happens in most of the places of the world.
How can those politicians and corrupted officials let some orphanages run granting it funds for free.
After selling they will either note down as that orphan is dead or that orphan is adopted by some foreigners.
This kind of cases would never show up in the media or any other news because they are also in this crime and takes their share of bribes to cover these things.
That is the human nature.
As long as the thing did not happen to me, then I don't care.
Well there are some exceptions where there are good humans that really wanted to help the needy and the poor.
But the thing is what these good people do will most of the time end up making the situations worse.
Well the good people will still think that they did the right thing and just sit by the side peacefully to see the real needy end up dead or worse.
Even though I am an orphan in this orphanage, I know the true nature of the people more than anyone else.
And I am not a fool to believe their sweet words like the other people.
..........
The mercenary group brought in some orphans from the orphanage.
They looked scary to most children but not to one of the orphans that they just bought.
"Hey kid what is your name?"
One of the mercenaries asked in English.
"My name is Vikram."
Vikram is one of the orphans from the orphanage that these mercenaries bought.
"Hey this orphan can actually speak English… it seems we have bought an orphan with some knowledge this time."
Vikram did not have much of an expression on his face.
All he did was answer the question and wait that is all.
He was able to hear some whispers from some distance as those mercenaries spoke
"Why should we know if he has knowledge or something we want this orphan to get us that box and nothing more?"
"What if he survives…?"
"We will think about that later.
For now let us move.
We don't have much time to get that thing.
When the other party arrives then we will lose all the money"
Vikram was not the only one that was bought there are other orphans around the same age as him.
They were immediately shipped into the ship's cargo hold and the ship started to move to somewhere that they don't know.
The journey was not long, sometime after they started to move those mercenaries gave the people some cheap quality buns.
It is not that they gave but more like they throw the food into the cargo hold like feeding a dog or something.
Vikram moved very swiftly right when the buns are still in the air.
He did not take all of them but only took one and let go of the food.
He retreated to a corner and started to eat the bun quickly before the fight for the other buns was subdued.
By the time others realized the thing Vikram is the only one that ate a complete bun while the others ate scrapes and pieces, where some of them were stepped on during the fight.
Since Vikram has already ate the bun they can do nothing but to watch him with a sigh.
Well not all of them are patient and forgiving type.
There are always some short tempered guys that want to fight and make a point.
Orphan's quarrels would always happen in the orphanages so it is not new to Vikram.
He simply did not fight back but used his movements to receive very less damage every time he was hit and increase the amount of stamina that the other party used to fight.
The wounds on his body might look sever but most of them are scrapes and nothing more.
He sat in his corner silently all the time till they were let out.
After coming out they were told to get on a truck and were transported to a desolate place that looked more like a desert.
Well the entire way is like that and that particular place is more barren.
There is some burnt smell in the air where the walls in that area were particularly broken down.
The mercenaries stopped near the fencing of what looked like an abandoned place.
The buildings were a little farther from the fencing and the entire place looked like a ghost place.
"Hey people look at this image of the briefcase.
This is hidden in that building.
What you have to do is go and get it.
The one that gets it will be sent back to your home.
If you don't go then I will shoot you."
The mercenary looked fierce and said while pointing a gun at the people.
Vikram moved first towards the ruined buildings.
But he did not directly crossed over through the fence.
Instead he move to a corner to collect some stones and threw them on the lead way from the fence to the ruined building.
Anyone can see that he is being cautious and is checking for land mines.
There is a TV in the orphanage and the people have watched many movies.
So they understand that Vikram is trying.
It was the fat orphan that fought with Vikram that took the initiative to follow the path of the rocks believing that there are no land mines there.
The other people followed with quick pace behind the fatty.
The fatty had a proud expression that protagonists put on their faces.
Vikram put on a reluctant expression on his face that looked like he is defeated.
On the contrary the mercenaries were laughing with ridiculing expression.

Chapter 2: at least as a meat shield
On the contrary the mercenaries were laughing with ridiculing expression.
One of the mercenaries wanted to say something but was stopped by another mercenary who was looking at the face of Vikram with astonishment.
The mercenary wanted to say that the land mines cannot be triggered using a bunch of stones.
If they were triggered so easily then why would they go all the way to an orphanage to buy these people?
Vikram that previously put on a defeated expression has a slight change.
His lips gently curved upwards and his eyes are looking at the other people like they were dead men.
Right after that a loud sound came.
"Boom"
The first person that is making his way under the marking rocks of Vikram successful stepped on a land mind when he crossed over 3 quarters of the distance.
The ones behind the fatty fell on the sides causing a few more explosions reducing their numbers.
The remaining ones did not have a choice but to move forward because of the threat of guns from behind them.
Vikram on the other hand is standing at the last.
The mercenaries did not say anything but coldly pointed their guns at the people.
Vikram did not stop as he threw more rocks to the front completely covering the distance to the ruined buildings.
The people are always hopeful and thought that the fatty has wrong stepped and was blasted.
So there is nothing wrong with the rocks that Vikram threw.
They should be the safe spots.
This hope has led to few more causalities and the final resultant is that only Vikram with his whole body intact reached the ruined buildings.
The others or either dead or lost their limbs.
Vikram did not have any sadness or happiness in his eyes.
He silently went into the ruined building and brought back the briefcase.
He traced his own foot steps to come back to the mercenaries and said while handing over the briefcase.
"I know that you will not leave any one alive even after getting the briefcase back.
I put on my capabilities to display my usage and I hope that you can take me in at least as a meat shield."
He did not say much but what he wanted to say was perfectly conveyed.
The mercenary that stopped the other mercenary from speaking before is the leader of the group.
He was actually attracted by the cleverness of Vikram.
Now that Vikram has spoken these words he put up a tough front and acted as if they reluctantly accepted Vikram into their group.
...
From that day Vikram was always walking on the edge between the life and death.
He never shows anxiety or fear in the face of death.
Also he always enjoys the smallest things like he has won the world.
There is one time he was given a chocolate to eat and the expression on Vikram's face is like that of a man that just has an orgasm.
Well it is not only that even the tasteless food that they ate every day, the small amount of sleep or rest and everything he got was treasured like gold.
After some time the mercenaries started to teach him various things related to combat, weapons, software, goods, secret routes...….
In a way they did not teach him directly but he made them teach these things to him using the most common method of asking to learn in the form of helping them in their work.
Humans have the 7 sins but these 7 are not sins but loop holes.
As long as they were controlled properly it is no longer a sin but a part of life of every human.
Only if these things are excessive to cause damage they will become sins if not it is not then it is not a sin.
Vikram used two of these sins that every human has as a weapon to get their knowledge.
They are pride and sloth.
They are prideful to show off their knowledge and lazy enough to leave the tasks in the hands of servants which is Vikram at the scene.
Since he is with them they thought that he should learn some things.
While teaching they would show off their skills in pride and after some good words from Vikram they would teach him in the name of their pride.
They never thought that Vikram is a person that comes once in a billion that possesses two great qualities.
Insight and obsessive will.
He has this obsessive will when he does something or learns something.
When he sees someone performing a thing that he doesn't know how to do, he will immediately observe them with the highest concentration.
He would not just leave at that but use his other knowledge to analyze it and then finally tries to acquire the knowledge for himself.
His will to do something that he deems necessary is as good as an obsession of a mad man.
For example when the techy of the mercenaries taught him some of the hacking skills and boasted his own hacking skill Vikram became obsessed.
He understood that how important those hacking skills are in the present day world.
So he learnt them like there is no tomorrow but he cannot show his progress in front of those mercenaries in order to not to attract their attention.
He did not have the room for errors at all.
He used the time he got to practice in secret till he mastered all the computer languages to the point where he wrote some software that are hidden even to the eyes of the techy that taught him.
He not only did that but the usage of the fire arms, close combat, secret routes for travelling, getting the original id proofs, mercenary gathering areas, underground rules and the art of disguise.....
He learnt all of them while he stayed with those mercenaries.
When he finally got all of their skills, Vikram has decided to execute a fine plan that he made for them.
