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 stared at the Soft Moon Stone in his hand, his thoughts spinning. What the hell was hidden on Crescent Island that could produce something this valuable?


He knew exactly what the Soft Moon Stone could do.


According to the official game information, players needed Advanced Forging to add gem or material sockets to weapons and armor. Even then, the success rate was only 30 percent. Failure meant the equipment was destroyed permanently, and players were limited to creating just two sockets each month. Even Grandmaster Forging only raised the success rate to 50 percent and increased the monthly limit to five sockets.


But the Soft Moon Stone completely ignored those restrictions.
