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

Not only did he carry her on his back, but he also spoke ill of everyone in a serious manner. "Are they calling Chun 'er stupid?" "Chun 'er isn't stupid. They're the ones who are stupid. They're jealous of the candied haws in Chun' er's hands." Senior Brother, are they suspecting that Chun 'er used some underhanded methods?" "No way. Chun 'er is the kindest and most pleasant person. They're just jealous of Chun' er's ability." "Young Sect Master, no matter how powerful and powerful you are, you can't treat us as deaf! We're still here!" "Oh, I'm really sorry. So you're still here." It turned out that in this person's eyes, other than that ancestor, he couldn't see anyone else… Wanqi Chun had been reborn with despair and hatred. He had originally wanted to rope in some forces to improve himself and then take revenge. However, who knew that after her rebirth, things gradually deviated from the track of her memories, and her own background could no longer be confusing.

Everything made Wanqi Chun's heart float. She was easily gullible, and her mind would always waver, but there was only one thing that she was unwavering about. That was the senior brother who had rescued her from the dark swamp, pampered her, indulged her, pitied her, and loved her, as gentle as a banished immortal.
