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

Dark crime novels tend to explore the darker sides of human nature, like in 'The Silence of the Lambs' where we see the mind of a serial killer. They can be more disturbing and gritty compared to regular crime novels.

Dark Scandinavian crime novels often have a gloomy atmosphere. The settings are usually cold, like the Nordic winters, which adds to the sense of desolation. For example, in many of Jo Nesbø's novels, the snow - covered landscapes are as much a part of the story as the characters.

The difference lies in the atmosphere and the depth of the exploration of the dark side. 'Dark gritty crime novels' create a much more oppressive and gloomy atmosphere. They are not just about the crime event but also about the social decay, the moral bankruptcy that might be associated with it. Take 'Sin City' as an example. It's not just about the individual crimes committed but also about the whole corrupt and violent world that the characters inhabit. Other crime novels might be more about a single crime and the process of solving it, without delving so deeply into the dark underbelly of society like the 'dark gritty crime novels' do.
