My 5c: You should really start with C as it gives you a solid foundation both of how things work under the hood, and you'll be likely to have to dive into C from time to time. Apart from K&R, Hacking: The art of Exploitation 2e[0] is a really great book to grok C. But you can safely skip C++. Rust is a C++ killer IMO.
