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.

Marcus opened his inventory and took out the Mist-Tear Spear of Purity, one of his Mythic weapons.


He still had no idea how common Soft Moon Stone actually was. Even if Crescent Island contained mines, judging from the stone's incredible effects, it certainly wasn't something he could afford to waste. Every piece would be valuable.


The same went for the Sea Lion Blue Crystal. It had come from a Level 70 Golden-tier boss, making it far too precious to carelessly socket into an ordinary weapon.


At the same time, he wasn't reckless enough to experiment on the Ice-Fire Twin Dragon Hoe or the Twin-Winged Ice Owl Bow. Those were among his most valuable weapons, and even with the Soft Moon Stone reducing the risk, this was still his very first attempt at socketing.
