In a bustling modern city where ancient secrets and mysterious powers collide with everyday life, 22-year-old Ethan Cross seems like your average college student. Behind his unassuming demeanor lies a man shrouded in secrets—a masked vigilante known only as "Virtuoso," feared by criminals and sought after by powerful organizations.

Ethan is overpowered, sarcastic, and ridiculously skilled at everything he does. But there's one thing he’s terrible at: romance. When the enigmatic and fiercely independent Mia Harper stumbles into his life, she unknowingly becomes the key to unraveling a conspiracy that ties Ethan's past to an ancient prophecy.

Between laugh-out-loud moments, explosive action, and unexpected twists, Ethan navigates his double life while trying to protect Mia, keep his identity hidden, and maybe—just maybe—figure out how to confess his feelings without being a complete disaster.

The crystalline walls of Haven pulsed with a steady hum as Ethan stood at the command platform, shadows coiling restlessly around him. The holographic map above the dais flickered, showing the remnants of the Riftline bastions they had yet to dismantle. Despite their recent victory at Nexus Prime, Ethan knew the war was far from over.

Selene moved beside him, her golden aura faint but steady. "We're making progress, but it feels like the calm before the storm."

"It always does," Ethan murmured, his voice taut with weariness. "The Council may be fractured, but they'll regroup. They always do."

The air in the sanctuary thickened as footsteps echoed through the chamber. Isolde appeared from the shadows, her expression colder than usual. "We have a problem."

Ethan turned sharply. "What is it?"
