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 Masked Virtuoso

The sky above Haven was splitting apart, jagged lines of neon-blue energy cracking through the atmosphere like broken glass. The massive Rift Gate, a towering structure of twisting obsidian and liquid energy, pulsed wildly, struggling to contain the force within. The air itself vibrated, shifting between realities, as if existence was glitching.

And standing at the center of it all—was Ethan Cross.

Golden-black energy coiled around him, the weight of his power distorting space itself. His eyes burned—not just with Rift energy, but something beyond it. His very presence sent waves of pressure through the battlefield, making the weaker Rift creatures collapse into themselves.

He was becoming something the universe didn't understand.
