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.

Rabbit Must Die

Ever since a despicable rabbit arrived at the Heavenly Court, banners have been hung up in the residences of all the major Immortals: beware of fire, theft, and rabbits.

One could often see a bunch of Immortals waving various magic treasures, chasing a rabbit all over everywhere, shouting, "Although group beating is unfair, we can lose face, the rabbit must die!" Passerby A: Why is that rabbit so freaking famous? Almost all the Immortals know him, is it because he's cute? Passerby B: No! It's because he's a jerk!

Well, 'The Big Sleep' by Raymond Chandler is a classic in crime lit fiction. It features the hard - boiled detective Philip Marlowe and has a convoluted plot with lots of seedy characters. Then there's 'Silence of the Lambs' by Thomas Harris. Hannibal Lecter is one of the most iconic villains in literature, and the cat - and - mouse game between him and Clarice Starling is gripping.

I recommend Detective Files 2, a mystery detective novel written by Moyla. Criminology geek Lu Xiangdong and criminal police rookie Tian Mi partnered up. He helped her see the evil, and she melted his heart. 3.5 stars. The female lead was warm and passionate, while the male lead had a pitiful childhood. The relationship line went from being in love to being in love, but the male lead sometimes skipped over the female lead's attitude. The cases were presented in units, a total of six, and the style was realistic. Sin is Unforgivable was also Moira's mystery detective novel. The story revolved around evil thoughts. The case was rigorous and the emotional lines were relaxed. The characters included the comical second-generation second-generation male lead, Kang Ge, and the skilled female lead, Yan Xue. " Man is Devouring: I Have the Law Fusion Device ", a novel written by the superintendent, Love Beauty. Yue Ming had the Law Fusion Device as his golden finger. Although there were flaws, such as the currency system being rotten and common sense mistakes, it looked good and the writing was good. Murder Scene 2, a mystery detective novel written by MS007. A collection of urban murder mystery stories. There were cute female police officers. Each case could be viewed independently. The text was light and lively. " Reborn in Japan as a Group Leader " was a novel written by Zhan Yang. It was a pure joke. The main character was a pervert. Don't use your brain when reading it. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Well, 'The Name of the Rose' by Umberto Eco is a must - read. It combines crime fiction with historical and philosophical elements, set in a medieval monastery. The detective, William of Baskerville, tries to solve a series of murders while also dealing with the complex religious and intellectual environment. Also, 'Devil in a Blue Dress' by Walter Mosley is great. It features Easy Rawlins, an African - American detective in 1940s Los Angeles, and shows the racial and social tensions of the time.
