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

Not just on the battlefield. Not just in the kingdom. Not just in this reality.

The ripple of Ethan's last word—"Stop"—was not just a command. It was an absolute. It was law. It was the first and only rule of a world that bent to his will. The Rift Master, a being that had existed before stars learned to shine, a force of entropy made flesh, froze. Its ever-shifting form locked mid-transformation, caught between endless possibilities, unable to choose.

Even the wind had stopped. The sky hung in place, the burning embers of the ruined battlefield suspended mid-air like frozen raindrops. A warrior, mid-fall, remained there, limbs sprawled but unmoving.
