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.

In that fleeting instant, the long-handled scythes in Marcus and Pebble's hands spun free like unleashed storm wheels.


The weapons cut through the air with violent momentum, one from the left and one from the right, converging perfectly on the Frenzied Digger Corpse King while it was still suspended mid-leap.


The boss sensed danger. Not ordinary danger, but death.


Its body twisted instinctively, yet the spinning scythes moved too fast. There was no escape, and no chance to adjust its landing.


Both scythes struck at the same time. Marcus's eyes widened as the impact landed.


The damage stacked together, amplified by the boss's own forward momentum and the full force of Desperate Strike. The result exploded beyond expectation.


A massive purple damage number erupted into view; fifty-nine thousand damage.
