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 newly awakened Five-Clawed Divine Dragon let out another earth-shaking bellow. It shook its massive body, stretched its limbs, and then soared directly over the players' heads, its trajectory aimed straight for the Dark Arch-Sorcerer known as the Double-Headed Raven King.


Seeing the Divine Dragon closing in, the Raven King cursed its own stupidity. Blinded by rage over the stolen 'Dark Violet Sky Dragon' egg, it had chased the thing all the way here without a second thought, completely forgetting about the city's guardian Divine Beast; a legendary creature that the entire Demon Clan had feared for generations.


'Is the egg lost? Will I have to slink back to the Demon Lord in disgrace?'


The Raven King watched the Divine Dragon's approach and a defiant scream echoed in its mind: 'I will fight!'


If it could bring this legendary beast down, it wouldn't just reclaim the egg; it would earn a fame that would resonate across the world.
