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.

The real man in the Divine College's Mighty Soldier Company

Hey, hello friends, I'm Hua Ye. Just now, a friend asked me what happened to Teacher Hua. He sent me a few screenshots. Let me take a look! Roar! It turned out that there were two young men yesterday. They were in their twenties. One was called Ge Xiaolun, and the other was called Lin Xiaofei. They said, hey…One of them said that my cervical vertebra was damaged from training on the surface of the star. Teacher Hua, can you teach me your black hole technique and treat it? I said yes. I told him that it wasn't good to train your death energy on the surface of a star, but he was not convinced. I say, little kid, you two can fire at me, but he won't budge. He said that it was useless. This is Black Hole Force. Traditional techniques are all about force. He insisted on trying it out with me, and I said yes. Sigh! As soon as I finished speaking, he stood up with a bang. Very quickly! Then, he used a Dragon Fist. Boom, a lightning strike. I blocked it all! I'm afraid I'll hurt them, so I'll withdraw my fist. I stopped fighting when I was withdrawing my fist. They suddenly attacked me. One threw a two-way foil at me, and the other hit me with a vitality bomb. I was careless and didn't dodge! He was beaten into a paper man by them. I say, young man, if you don't talk about martial arts, you won't understand. Ah, they immediately apologized, saying…they said they were just randomly shooting, but they weren't randomly shooting. A proper two-way foil and a terrifying vital energy bomb. Clearly, they came prepared. These two young people didn't care about martial arts and came to cheat! Sneak attack, my thirty thousand year old comrade. Is this good? This was not good! I advise! These two young people should reflect on themselves and not be so smart in the future. Uh…the universe should prioritize harmony and martial arts. Don't engage in internal strife.
