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.

Pretending to Be an Untouchable Crime Boss

A simple day turned into a misunderstanding that changed James Bellini’s life forever and sent him down a path walked only by those who define the era of the mafia. A path filled with bodies, with blood painting the roads where he stepped… with a twist… he is just pretending. He was at the wrong place at the wrong time, and out of nowhere, he became the Don of the Bellini family, the feared underworld figure who rules over everybody. A position that tests his sanity, his morality, and the last shred of humanity left in him… and maybe, just maybe, the road ahead will turn the acting, the pretending, into something dark… something that will push him to the abyss, where all he finds is death.

I haven't read all the chapters, but I can already see some influence of the books written by Crichton (mutations, evolution), Ludlum (conspiracy, etc.), or Brown (action location). If you add some aviation or vintage cars thread I would be able to add Cussler :D Great job, man!

A gripping story of crime and romance. The author is certainly a master in the game of fiction. His characters were carefully chosen with consistency in assigned roles. The follow ups on each evolving plots are unbelievably refreshing and apt. Unputdownable.

[Description: If betraying and hurting a person can absorb the other party's " Health Points ", what would you choose?] [Health Points Absorption Formula: Target's remaining Health Points * Affinity %* Damage %] Makoto Koyama, who had just transmigrated and had already entered the countdown, pondered over this question and formula. Then, he decisively opened his avatar and plunged into the darkness. [Makoto Koyama: As long as the target is a bad person, then I am a good person!] Cough, survival was not shabby! Therefore, many years later, a bottle of fake wine appeared in the winery, which was used to gain the favor of the members of the winery but secretly backstabbed them. A bottle of fake wine named Nikolaschka. ~~~ "Vodka, this game is over." But now we need to enjoy another game, a game of cat and mouse." After saying that, Gin grinned. His cold and sharp gaze swept across the group of backbone of the winery and finally fixed on the rye whiskey. Akai Shuichi: "Big Brother, you mean…" Under Vodka's shocked expression, Makoto Koyama, who had betrayed Akai Shuichi after experiencing a crisis of trust in the Gin, chuckled in his heart. P.S. Comic manga was more of a daily comedy. Keyword: Conan, ReLIfe Return to 17, Crayon Shin-chan, Azure Sea.
