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 sheer force of the energy pouring out of the massive void distorted reality itself. The sky cracked, fissures of golden-black light spreading like fractures in glass. The land trembled beneath an unseen force, as if rejecting the presence that had just stirred beyond the threshold.

Ethan stood at the front, golden-shadow energy rippling off his form in chaotic waves. The power inside the gate—it was unlike anything he had ever felt. It wasn't just strength. It wasn't just presence.

Mia swallowed hard, her grip tightening around her daggers. "Okay, I know I say this a lot, but I really, really don't like this."

Kieran's visor flickered as he scanned the swirling abyss. "My readings are not okay. That thing inside? It's off the charts."
