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.

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.

To be nominated for the Barry Award for Best First Novel, the novel must be a mystery and it must be the author's first published novel in this genre. Publishers usually start the process by identifying strong debut mystery novels from their catalogs. They consider things like the strength of the narrative, the development of characters, and how well the mystery is crafted. Once they've selected potential candidates, they follow the submission guidelines provided by the Barry Award organizers. These guidelines will specify things like the format of submission, the deadline, and any additional requirements. After that, the award committee reviews all the submissions and decides on the nominees.

The daily life of opening a dessert shop in the galaxy

Text: There was a dessert shop right opposite the Treasure Island of the galactic garbage disposal station. Wen Xun felt that it must be the best dessert shop she had ever eaten. The manager was a good-looking man with a weird temper, and the part-time shop assistant was an internet-addicted girl who only knew how to use the heater in the shop and not work. Missy X, Half Bio-Human, Black-bellied Male Lead Also known as "On How a Chef Overwhelms Pirates","I'm in my twenties, I'm tired, I'm dancing in the kitchen," and "What made the daughter of the former Chancellor of the Exchanges serve tea and water to be the woman behind the successful chef?" "What else can you do other than surfing the internet here?" Xu Zhili put his hands on his hips and gritted his teeth. "I'm going to the garbage dump next door to pick up trash." Wen Xun is righteous and has no sense of guilt Reading Guide: 1. An empty world view. If there is any similarity, it will be a coincidence! 2. The author's reasoning is terrible. Basically, he doesn't have overly complicated reasoning (in fact, he can't write it). There may be loopholes in his logic. Please spit it out. 3 double C's, the plot is generally easy without abuse
