Synopsis

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

Existential crime fiction often delves into the deeper meaning and existence of characters within the context of crime. It's not just about the whodunit, but more about the why and how it relates to the characters' sense of self and their place in the world. For example, in some works, the detective may be struggling with his own moral and existential crises while solving the crime.

One of the well - known works is 'The Stranger' by Albert Camus. It has elements of crime as the protagonist commits a murder, and it's also a profound exploration of his existential state. Another is 'Crime and Punishment' by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Raskolnikov's crime is deeply connected to his existential angst about his place in society and his own morality.

Sure. 'The Long Goodbye' by Raymond Chandler is a great example. The main character, Marlowe, is not just a detective but also a complex figure dealing with his own sense of self and his place in a rather unforgiving world. Also, 'American Psycho' by Bret Easton Ellis has elements of existential crime. It shows the extreme and disturbing psyche of a character who is involved in violent acts while also being a part of the consumerist society, which gives it an existential flavor.

Jean - Paul Sartre's 'Nausea' is also a key existential fiction work. The protagonist, Roquentin, experiences a sense of nausea when confronted with the absurdity and contingency of existence. Sartre uses vivid descriptions to convey the character's unease with the world around him, making the reader question the nature of reality and our place in it.
