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 Battlefield Stands Still – A Rift Between Fate and Choice

The violet storm that had once raged, feeding off Kael's fury, had weakened into an uneasy stillness. The sky, still fractured, no longer roared with Rift energy. The battlefield trembled under the weight of something even heavier than destruction—uncertainty.

Kael stood in the center of it, his body flickering between moments—his past, his present, and the corruption that had shaped his future. His breath was uneven, his sword trembling in his grip as his golden-ringed eyes flickered erratically. The Rift no longer surged to protect him.

His mind was caught between two forces—the Rift's lingering grasp, and the memories Ethan was forcing to the surface.

Ethan, standing only a few feet away, didn't attack. He didn't press forward. He didn't strike the finishing blow.
