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 golden cracks in the sky trembled.

The battlefield, once filled with golden chains and fragments of dying realities, was now on the verge of complete erasure. The Rift—the very wound in existence—was taking its final breath.

And standing at the center of it all was Ethan.

His golden-shadow flames flickered in the collapsing void, a lone force of defiance against the rewriting of reality. His team—Mia, Selene, Orion, Kieran, and Nefera—hovered beside him, their bodies flickering, barely holding onto existence.

He stood without moving, a being beyond divinity, beyond concepts. Where Nihilor had been destruction incarnate, the Architect was something far worse.

His voice echoed through the unraveling world.

Ethan's golden eyes burned. His flames pulsed as he took a step forward.
