After the nuclear war, the world was controlled by twenty mega-corporations that established a global government. Governed by AI, it judged everything. Gao Xin, who had only wished to live a peaceful life, inexplicably became a scapegoat for the elite and, unable to pay the imprisonment fee, was sentenced to ten years of exile on Crime Prison Island! On this island, there were no laws, no constraints, the only order being the numerous game arenas set up by the officials. The criminals could only participate like racehorses for the entertainment of the elite. Yet, on this prison island filled with Radiation, cyborgs, and many powerful villains, Gao Xin had no strength, no talent, and no background—like a sheep thrown into a crocodile pool, no different from being on death row. How could an ordinary person like him survive under the oppression of the strong, the geniuses, and the wicked? Unless in this world, there was a path, a path that allowed even the weakest to continuously break their shackles.

Luo Fei is a rookie police officer but has a system that can empower him with different abilities of animals including dogs' sense of smell through gene fusion. When helping a lady to find her cat, he smells a stench from the neighboring apartment's balcony. It smells like... the stench of a rotting corpse!

The gods exist. The Supernatural is real. But poor foolish Mortals can never pierce through the Truth hidden by the Veil. They say Ignorance is Bliss. But for Adam, such Bliss woven by a lie is worthless. In his opinion, Ignorance may be Bliss but --- Knowledge is power. This was the truest fact; something Adam built his empire around. ---- He wasn’t always this rich. He wasn’t always this powerful. There was a time he too struggled to earn enough for the treatment of his sick and dying mother. But one day, on a Halloween night, his life was forever changed. His eyes were opened to a completely new Reality. The truth that was hidden from the eyes of all normal humans. An entirely different world, rules, and society exist just in front of us. Follow Adam, as he uncovers the Truth about his identity, the power in his blood, and his adventures as he rises to the throne that is rightfully his. To attain his goal, he will not hesitate. He will even become the God of Crime if that is necessary. --------- The story will be moderately slow-paced during the First four volumes as I set Adam in the world and slowly develop the world-building and Adam starts to adapt to the new reality. I know it might not be to the taste of everyone, but I believe it's worth it. We discover the world together with Adam and how he will grow from someone who knew absolutely nothing about the supernatural world to being someone no one can ignore. This will be a long road and I would be happy if you are willing to walk this road with me. ---- (Alternative title: Midnight Prince: Empire of Sin) [ Tags ]: Mature| Grimdark | Gore |Netori | Harem | Milf | Young & Mature | Supernatural |Action | Gang War | Criminal Empire | System | Gigolo | Handsome MC | Weak to Strong MC | Antihero| Neutral good to Lawful Neutral Evil. | Showbiz | Psychic | ****** ) ----- Disclaimer: The cover picture is AI made and is the art for Adam as [Magician] Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HikaruGenji Discord: https://discord.gg/3v2xvhvD6j My other work Son of The Hero King: https://www.webnovel.com/book/son-of-the-hero-king_24153504605334705

Un simple jour s'est transformé en un malentendu qui a changé la vie de Jacques Bellini à jamais et l'a envoyé sur un chemin emprunté uniquement par ceux qui définissent l'ère de la mafia. Un chemin jonché de cadavres, avec du sang peignant les routes où il a marché... avec un rebondissement... il ne fait que semblant. Il était au mauvais endroit au mauvais moment, et de nulle part, il est devenu le Don de la famille Bellini, la figure redoutée du monde souterrain qui règne sur tout le monde. Une position qui met à l'épreuve sa santé mentale, sa moralité, et le dernier lambeau d'humanité qui lui reste... et peut-être, juste peut-être, que le chemin à venir transformera ce jeu d'acteur, cette prétention, en quelque chose de sombre... quelque chose qui le poussera vers l'abîme, où tout ce qu'il trouve est la mort.

Um dia simples se transformou em um mal-entendido que mudou a vida de James Bellini para sempre e o enviou por um caminho trilhado apenas por aqueles que definem a era da máfia. Um caminho cheio de corpos, com sangue pintando as estradas por onde ele pisava... com uma reviravolta... ele está apenas fingindo. Ele estava no lugar errado na hora errada e, do nada, tornou-se o Don da família Bellini, a temida figura do submundo que governa a todos. Uma posição que testa sua sanidade, sua moralidade e o último resquício de humanidade que resta nele... e talvez, apenas talvez, o caminho à frente transformará a atuação, o fingimento, em algo sombrio... algo que o empurrará para o abismo, onde tudo o que ele encontrará é a morte.

A simple day turned into a misunderstanding that changed James Bellini’s life forever and sent him down a path walked only by those who define the era of the mafia. A path filled with bodies, with blood painting the roads where he stepped… with a twist… he is just pretending. He was at the wrong place at the wrong time, and out of nowhere, he became the Don of the Bellini family, the feared underworld figure who rules over everybody. A position that tests his sanity, his morality, and the last shred of humanity left in him… and maybe, just maybe, the road ahead will turn the acting, the pretending, into something dark… something that will push him to the abyss, where all he finds is death.

"Quem é desta vez?" A voz dele era um sussurro baixo e áspero, entrando no quarto como fumaça, amarrando seu estômago em nós de medo e algo mais sombrio. Eva forçou seu pulso a desacelerar, dizendo a si mesma para não recuar. Mas quando as mãos dele se ergueram dos braços da cadeira, um arrepio percorreu sua espinha. "Você não deveria estar aqui", ela ofegou, enquanto ele se levantava com uma velocidade impossível. Suas asas negras se abriram, estendendo-se, envolvendo-a, pressionando-a contra o peito dele como se a reivindicasse antes que ela pudesse sequer respirar. "Por quê?" Seus lábios se curvaram em um sorriso perverso e afiado. "Para que eu não a descobrisse fugindo com aquele garoto inútil?" "Eu não..." "Claro, porque ele está morto." Suas palavras cortaram como uma lâmina, ditas com a certeza de um deus lendo um livro aberto. Eva tropeçou para trás, pressionada contra a parede. "Você enlouqueceu! Você não o matou..." "E por que não?" Sua voz se tornou um rosnado. Um único dedo traçou a marca vermelha que se desvanecia em seu pescoço. Seus olhos faiscaram de fúria; o próprio ar estremeceu. Ele se inclinou, os lábios roçando a pele dela, os dentes arranhando a carne numa mordida possessiva, apagando a marca de outro. "Ele ousa", Hades sibilou, mortal e baixo, "ele ousa tocar no que me pertence. Um tolo. Ousado o bastante para pôr seus lábios onde os meus já a marcam." O peito de Eva arfava, terror e desejo entrelaçados tão apertadamente que ela mal conseguia respirar. Suas asas se contraíram, escuras e inflexíveis, e ela percebeu que escapar não era mais uma opção e, talvez, ela nem mesmo a quisesse. "Não se esqueça, querida", ele murmurou, os lábios roçando sua orelha, "eu a comprei. Você é minha agora. E eu não gosto de dividir." **** Humanos não são nada mais que servos na sociedade cintilante e cruel dos Serafins alados. Quando um humano os ofende, a punição é simples: ser vendido. Evangeline nunca pensou que sua própria família a trairia. Mas quando sua irmã cometeu o imperdoável, ofendendo um Serafim, a mãe delas ofereceu Eva em seu lugar - sem hesitação. Descartada como lixo, Eva é exibida perante a nobreza dos Serafins para ser reivindicada. Ninguém a quer. Até que ele aparece. O Asa Negra. O único Serafim cujas penas não são douradas, prateadas ou brancas, mas negras como a meia-noite. Temido. Amaldiçoado. Os sussurros dizem que todo humano que ele já tomou pereceu. E ainda assim, ele a escolhe. Arrastada para seu mundo de sombras, Eva se torna a obsessão de um homem que todos os outros temem e desprezam. Ele é possessivo, impiedoso e perigosamente sedutor. E enquanto sua família reza para que ela seja destruída... Eva começa a se perguntar se o verdadeiro perigo não reside em suas asas negras, mas na forma como seu coração a trai sempre que ele se aproxima. Será que ela conseguirá sobreviver a este jogo do destino?
