"Be better"

Peter was cursed by those words, the very last words of his dying mother. 

Cursed to be better. To be above the small squabbles... And so, the last five years of his childhood, he spent as a target of bullying, both in school and in his adoptive, step-family. 

But it all changed, when a portal to another world appeared in the middle of his shed!

Riches and Bitches: I have a gate to an isekai and leveling-up system!

'First the quests, now the stats…' I thought to myself in the short moment of break I allowed myself from the task of spotting the starlit zones. 'Just what the hell is going on with my system?!'

All the stats were exactly the same as when I brought them all the way up to the former maximum.

In other words, assuming the limit of my power grew exponentially with each rank as it happened so far, I boasted merely half of the strength that a supreme of my kind should be able to.

All my stats were capped at ten while I was a mere mortal. They went up to twenty when I became an ascender and then to forty upon becoming a promoted ascender.

'Assuming there's no step that everyone skips and the rate at which my limits grow remains the same, all my stats should be capped at eighty points each.'

Is this all an illusion?
