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

The route to become the Emperor is a given? Nah, I still don't want it..." "Oh? I'm courting death you say? Unfortunately for you, death is already my woman..." ======= Almost 200,000 words (Around 170 Chapters) available for free! What to expect (Updated June 2026) : -Male protagonist who is trying to find who he is in the beginning and increasingly becomes level-headed and ruthless to enemies. Divine Emperor of Death is his calamity title the world gave him and not his personality, so don’t expect MC to be utterly black-hearted here. -Growth style from young to old, a epic adventure that takes itself seriously as the chapter and volumes advances -Harem. Slow-burn romance for the first two hundred chapters and it increases in pace once MC takes on second wife. Harem is treated extremely important here with their own personalities and flaws. No trophy wives. MC doesn’t abandon harem members to go off on a solo adventure. -Character-driven story with long-term growth. MC makes a few mistakes in the beginning and works to rectify. -Logical cultivation system with nearly no mistakes in terms of power leveling battles. -Unique blend of many types of architecture and eastern fantasy, but mostly latter since this is a cultivation novel. -Quick battles, no-nonsense approach to most enemies, and epic battles, tribulations and actions with lasting consequences. -Magical beast, calamities, strange lifeforms and locations. -The main character is not overpowered at the beginning, he'll have to climb his way up. And his treasure is simply dangerous to use, which makes it extremely challenging for him to survive. -Growth arc, adventure arcs, revenge arcs, romance arcs, epic tribulation arcs, family arcs and many more. -Regular updates (2 chapters/day) + bonus chapters and mass releases when possible ======= Some words from author: English isn't my main language, so please bear with it if you found some mistakes. The first few hundred chapters do have grammar mistakes since I was a beginner at that time. Please bear with me until the grammar and the content gets fleshed out. This is an epic (long form story) instead of a quick wish-fulfillment novel as we follow the story of Davis from the start, so it's bound to be slow but steady. There are epic moments at certain points which my readers have praised repeatedly. Also, the [best harem novel] in the entire Webnovel according to my readers in Discord. ======= Want to see more official art of the story and discuss the story with others? Join the Discord!

Don't even think about leaving me behind. Other people will have to get lost." Her son wrapped his arms around her thigh. "Go away. My mother is a good person. If you bully her, I'll bite you to death." Her daughter grabbed her arm. "You're a bad person. My mother is the best in the world. If you say anything bad about her, I'll report you to the police." Tang Rou looked at the Ye family, who all seemed happy and content, and she secretly clenched her jaws. "This shouldn't have happened. Everything's changed!"

They often show the isolation in Australian outback areas. For example, in 'The Dry', the small town setting reflects how a community can be both a support and a threat. Crimes in these areas can be more hidden and the life - or - death situations can be exacerbated by the lack of immediate help. The novels also show the impact of environmental factors like drought on people's mental states, which can lead to crimes and dangerous situations.

One characteristic is the unique setting. The vast and often harsh outback landscape becomes a character in itself. It can isolate characters and add to the sense of danger and mystery.

Xuanming Immortal Destiny

The Underworld Star was originally a world of beasts. For millions of years, the eight great beast clans had been fighting each other all year round. Blood flowed like rivers on the Underworld Star, forming an endless sea. 10,000 years ago, the Xuan cultivators killed their way into the Netherworld Star, exterminated Qiongqi, killed Taowu, exiled Taotie and Hundun, and captured the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. 10,000 years later, the world of war descended once again. The story began here. Hong Tian was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old youth, a servant disciple of the Myriad Dao Sect's Spirit Plant Hall. He had the reverse spirit root of water and fire, and was at the first qi layer. He was aloof from worldly affairs. He only wanted to cultivate to the fourth qi layer so that he would be qualified to go down the mountain to train and meet his grandfather, whom he had not seen for many years. However, the senior brother who was close to him suddenly died. He lost his identity as a servant of the Spirit Plants Hall and returned to the outer sect. He wanted to help his senior find out the truth, but the news was leaked and he fell into someone else's trap. Fortunately, not only did he discover that he possessed the Wind Spiritual Root, but he also obtained a cultivation method for the Wind Spiritual Root. He cultivated day and night. He fought with his enemies to the death. One by one, his enemies were reduced to dust. Until one day, a beast tide broke out. The 10,000-year crisis of the Netherworld Star had arrived! With his extraordinary ability, Hong Tian gradually walked to the front of the Celestial Gate and the four Beast Gods. He suppressed the Beast Tide and protected the heavenly world. Even if he was attacked by the axe, he was fearless! He was Hongtian! Cultivators loved and feared him, mortals worshipped him, and in the vast world, he left behind a "legend of heaven"!
