Are Thieves Really Useless? I Can Steal the Attributes of All Things

In a parallel world of data-driven martial arts, billions of dungeons descend upon the land. Everything is determined by the talents awakened at age eighteen and one's potential for the future.

The protagonist, Li Ang, is assessed as having an unprecedented F-rank potential and awakens the bottom-tier class of Thief. His stats are so low he can't even pick a primary schooler's pocket, making him a bona fide member of society's lowest rung.

His snobbish childhood sweetheart says, “An F-rank Thief? Li Ang, you can't even earn enough to buy me a mana potion. Let's break up.”

To pay for his seriously ill mother's medical expenses, Li Ang takes a scouting job from the black market and risks venturing alone into an unexplored level-10 dungeon in the wilderness. There, he unexpectedly activates a hidden talent.

[God-Tier Talent: Steal the Heavens and Change the Sun] Your “Steal” skill has mutated. Each time you steal, you can randomly take one of your target's attributes, such as strength, agility, constitution, intelligence, skills, talents, or lifespan, and make it yours forever!

Li Ang's eyes lit up.

He uses “Steal” on a [Goblin]. [Strength +1]!

He uses “Steal” on a [Stormwolf King] and obtains the skill [Windwalk]!

He uses “Steal” on a [Dying Dragon] and obtains the talent [Dragon Bloodline]!

From then on, Li Ang embarks on a mad spree of stealing.

While the academy's once-in-a-generation geniuses are still struggling to gain a hundred points of strength, Li Ang has already used “Steal” to raise every one of his attributes to the realm of the gods.

One day, an Abyssal Evil God descends through an Abyss dungeon and points at Li Ang, whose eyes are shining as he looks at it.

“Mortal, surrender your life!”

Li Ang smiles faintly and reaches out to snatch something in return.

“Ding! [Steal] activated. Successfully stole ‘Abyssal Divinity’!”
