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

Crime Prison Island

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.

Fingindo Ser um Chefe do Crime Intocável

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.

Prétendre être un Patron du Crime Intouchable

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.

Well, in crime fiction, a common code is the setting. It's often in a city or a small town with its own secrets. For example, a dark alley in a big city can be a perfect place for a crime to occur. The convention of having suspects is also important. There are usually multiple characters who could have committed the crime, and the detective has to interview them and look for motives. And the climax, where the truth is revealed, is a key part of the codes and conventions too.

They create suspense. For example, when there are red herrings, it keeps readers guessing. They think they've figured out who the criminal is, but then a new clue throws them off. This makes the reading exciting.

The conventions of crime fiction typically involve a crime that needs solving. This could be a murder, theft, or some other illegal act. There's usually a detective or an amateur sleuth who's determined to get to the bottom of it. They follow clues, interview witnesses, and encounter various obstacles along the way. In the end, the truth is uncovered and justice is served.

Well, the key codes and conventions of science fiction can be many. For one, the concept of time travel is quite common. It enables authors to play with different timelines and show how small changes can have huge impacts. Alien races are also a big part of it. These alien races can have unique physical features, cultures, and values, which contrast with human ones. And then there's the post - apocalyptic setting. It shows a world after a major disaster, be it a nuclear war, a plague, or an asteroid impact, and how humanity tries to survive and rebuild.

One important code is the presence of a magical or otherworldly element. This could be magic spells, enchanted creatures like dragons or unicorns. Another convention is the existence of a hero's journey. The protagonist often starts from an ordinary world and is called to an adventure in a fantastical realm. Also, the setting is usually a fictional world with its own rules, geography, and cultures.

After awakening, I raised a villain, a demon king

In the cultivation world, when it came to bad luck, no one dared to claim to be the first. His mother died after he was born, and he had the potential of dual spiritual roots. It wasn't too good, but it wasn't too bad either. However, his cultivation speed wasn't even as good as those with mixed spiritual roots. She had inherited her mother's beauty and was as beautiful as a flower. She found a childhood sweetheart as her cultivation partner, but she lost her life on the eve of her wedding. Later on, after experiencing all kinds of Mary Sue drama, he was successfully chased out of the sect. He was completely alone.
