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.

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.

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.

The storyline is decently unique. There are very few grammar errors. The mix of magic and steampunk settings are just the right mix with nothing over the top. as to the complaints about historical accuracy, keep in mind this is FICTION. as to the complaints about victorian era accuracy, victorian era styes were not limited to just england (france and england during victorian era had very similar architecture and social structures) Before you complain or disagree, do more than a 2 minute research into victorian era, architecture, and social structures. and leave the comments on accuracy to those of us who are considered experts is architecture, social structures, and historical facts of the victorian era. - it saves a lot of time and makes things more enjoyable for everyone.

The use of detective figures is a key characteristic. Detectives in Victorian crime fiction are often highly intelligent and observant. They use logic and deduction to solve crimes. For instance, Sherlock Holmes is a prime example. His ability to notice the smallest details was remarkable. Moreover, Victorian crime fiction often had a lot of suspense. The authors would keep the readers on the edge of their seats, slowly revealing clues and misdirecting them at times. The moral and ethical issues of the time were also reflected in these stories, like the role of women in society and the problems related to industrialization.

Well, Victorian era crime fiction is known for its elaborate plots. There were often multiple layers of mystery. The villains in these stories were sometimes from the upper classes, which was a bit of a subversion as crime was often associated with the lower classes. The use of forensic science, although not as advanced as today, was starting to be incorporated. For example, the examination of fingerprints and footprints. And the stories usually had a clear sense of justice in the end, with the guilty being punished and the truth being revealed, which was in line with the Victorian values of the time.
