How would i make tick start at a different time

if i defined a variable with tick() 5 seconds ago and did tick() - myVariable it would return 5, but i want to assign the variable so that if i assign it with tick() 5 seconds ago and did tick() - myVariable it would return a different number like 10, basically i just want to assign the variable with tick() but it is the time that has passed since 10 seconds after the unix epoch and not just the unix epoch

If I understand correctly couldn’t you just do

local myVariable = tick() - 5

or

local myVariable = tick() + 5

that would work but i still want it to go up in time, if i did this it wouldnt go up in time it would just stay at the time that has passed from the unix epoch + 5 seconds when i define it
