Tagline: The universe chose the wrong savior... but maybe the right man.

The Story
The world is ending... and the aliens picked a hot-tempered Sicilian philosopher-brawler to stop it.

Meet Fabrizio "The Storm" Russo – a brilliant, eccentric martial arts master in his mid-40s who runs a crumbling palazzo-turned-dojo in Florence. Equal parts scholar and streetfighter, he teaches swordplay between rants about Marcus Aurelius, makes pasta at 3 AM while debating quantum physics, and has never met a bureaucratic rule he didn't loathe.

Then the universe knocks on his door.

One evening, as Fabrizio argues with local carabinieri (again), a kilometer-long alien vessel materializes over the Duomo. No warning. No invasion. Just... ominous silence.

Until suddenly - Fabrizio's face appears on every screen on Earth.

Interpol storms his dojo. World leaders demand answers. The Vatican calls.

Then the message comes:

*"Humanity has 90 days to change its self-destructive path. We have chosen Fabrizio Russo to guide you. Fail... and we will reset your civilization."*

Now this hot-blooded, deeply compassionate, utterly uncompromising Sicilian must do the impossible:
• Unite fracturing nations
• Out-debate cynical politicians
• Teach the world to fight - not just with fists, but with heart
All while dealing with his greatest enemy: his own temper

I didn't choose this story. It chose me. That Sicilian storm in human form – half poet, half brawler – he's not just a character. He's my rebellion against every "no" this industry ever hissed.
