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 very fabric of reality trembled beneath the weight of Ethan's return.

The golden-shadow aura around him pulsed like a heartbeat, the sheer pressure of his existence warping reality itself. The cracked earth beneath his feet groaned, unable to withstand the divine energy now coursing through his veins.

For the first time, the Council Leader felt something he had never known before.

Not broken. Not weakened. But something greater.

The Council Leader's lips curled into a tight snarl. "This is impossible."

Ethan tilted his head, rolling his shoulders lazily. "You keep saying that." He cracked his knuckles, golden energy coiling around his fingertips. "But here I am."

The Council Leader's fingers twitched.
