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 fire dragon sigil carved into the Wyvern Flame Spear began expanding at an alarming rate. The heat surged beyond anything Marcus had felt before, rising past the ignition threshold of the surrounding air. Sharp, rhythmic pops echoed through the courtyard as oxygen itself combusted in rapid bursts. Even the thick white mist rising from the Spring of Purity water was burned away, peeled back layer by layer, until the Mist Veil Palace stood fully revealed in harsh, crimson clarity.


The sheer pressure of the fire energy forced a reaction from Marcus's level 9 pet. The Shadow-Stained Gryphon King let out a piercing cry and beat its wings furiously, retreating to the highest rafters in a desperate bid to escape the heat rolling across the courtyard.


"Damn, this thing is aggressive," Marcus muttered.
