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.

Selene stood near the far wall, arms crossed, her golden aura dim. She wasn't glaring at Ethan, but she wasn't not glaring either.

"You should sit down," she finally said, her voice level but firm.

Ethan didn't move. He remained by the holo-table, staring at his reflection in the polished metal. His fingers flexed absently, as if expecting the shadows at his feet to react.

His powers had always felt like an extension of himself—a tool, a weapon when needed. But now? Now they felt… alive.
