Marcus was a rising star in finance, until his boss's petty revenge left him fired, and near broke. The woman he loved was gone. His future was a joke, his life adrift, and with nothing left to lose 

His only way out was Dominion, the world's first true VRMMO, a game that promises to become humanity's second world, where in-game gold translates to real-world wealth. For Marcus, it wasn't a game; it was a desperate last chance to rebuild his life and support his sister.

But on the day of character creation, the system glitched.

While other players were assigned random stats, Marcus was given the impossible: Maxed-Out Base Attributes and a legendary, unchangeable Luck stat of 20.

The system tried to fix him. It failed.

Now, Marcus doesn't play the game. He exploits it. Armed with a broken skill that reveals every secret and a drop rate that makes him instantly rich, he is the statistical anomaly the developers never accounted for.

The numbers made Marcus's jaw tighten. The damage was noticeably lower than before. The Two-Headed Mist-Tear Fiend's Mistform Illusion had slashed his output by thirty percent, turning what should have been devastating fivefold damage into something barely scraping past two thousand. Against a Gold-tier boss, that simply would not cut it.


This was not a fight he could brute-force. Marcus reined in his momentum, already thinking several steps ahead, and decided to wait for a better opening.


There it was. A sharp breath escaped him as the numbers flared higher. A double critical, one from him and one from Pebble, finally landing together after three attempts. The fiend's Agility was absurdly high, making every clean hit feel like a small victory.
