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

Ethan's body plummeted through the void, yet he wasn't falling in a straight line. Reality twisted around him—colors he couldn't name, shapes that shouldn't exist, echoes of voices from forgotten timelines.

This was the heart of all Rifts—the Core of the Abyss, where the laws of existence meant nothing.

Selene, Orion, Mia, and Kieran were falling too, their bodies flickering between dimensions, their outlines warping as the Rift tried to consume them.

Above them, the mouth of the Rift—the black hole that had pulled them in—slowly began to close.

Mia shouted, her voice distorted. "Ethan! Can you—"

Her words collapsed, shattering into static.

Ethan gritted his teeth. His golden-shadow aura flared wildly, trying to stabilize, but this place rejected him. Even his power—something beyond Rift energy—was being torn apart.
