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 deafening, heart-pounding world announcement blared three consecutive times, carrying across every corner of Dominion and jolting the minds of countless online players. At the same moment, the system sent Marcus a private notification.


[Congratulations to US Region player Stonehaven, currently Level 56, for ranking first on the World Level Leaderboard. Would you like to display your name?]


Marcus answered without hesitation. Even so, the moment the announcement echoed through the world and he heard the words "US Region player Stonehaven," his heart still raced with a surge of fiery excitement. He had expected the announcement, but hearing his own achievement broadcast across the entire game was another matter entirely.


Like everyone else, he immediately opened the newly unlocked global leaderboard to see who had managed to reach the highest levels in the world.
