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 Rift. The artifacts. The wars. The suffering. All of it—caused by something divine.

His fists clenched as he stared at the massive, pulsing black crystal floating in the void before him. He could feel it now—something ancient, something powerful, something beyond mortal understanding.

Dr. Harrow sighed, rubbing his temples. "Yeah, kid. I know it's a lot."

Ethan exhaled sharply. "So, let me get this straight—" He pointed at the Shard. "That thing? It's literally a piece of God?"

Ethan scowled. "And I've been carrying a part of God inside me this whole time?"

Ethan ran a hand down his face. "Of course. Why wouldn't that be a thing?"

Dr. Harrow smirked. "Honestly, I was wondering when you'd figure it out."
