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

A Battle That Shouldn't Be Possible

Golden light spilled from the rupture, cascading across the battlefield like divine fire. But it wasn't divine.

The Creator's golden chains had been shattered—something that should have been impossible. Something that had never happened before.

Ethan's golden-shadow flames burned around him, flickering violently against the pull of an unseen force. His entire being hummed with power, but even he could feel it.

The rules of this battle were shifting.

He had broken the Creator's first attempt to erase him.

But that only meant the Creator was about to get serious.

Mia's breath was sharp beside him. "Ethan… what the hell did you just do?"

Selene's silver eyes narrowed, her grip on her spear tightening. "You absorbed the chains."
