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.

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.

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.

Generic conventions of literary fiction include elements like character development. Well - developed characters with complex personalities, motives, and arcs are common. For example, in 'Pride and Prejudice', Elizabeth Bennet has a growth from initial prejudice to a more understanding state. Another convention is the use of themes. Themes such as love, power, and identity are often explored. In many classic literary fictions, the exploration of love is central, whether it's the doomed love in 'Romeo and Juliet' or the evolving love in 'Jane Eyre'. Also, the narrative structure plays a part. It can be linear, as in most realist fictions, or non - linear like in some modernist works to create a sense of mystery or to play with the reader's perception of time.

I'm a villain, I'm evil

Pure Evil Villain Female Lead *"True, Good, and Beautiful" Green Tea Male Supporting Actor (cannon fodder) [New Year's Eve/Not Pure Ancient Words/Sweet Pet/Scum Abuser/1v1SC/Black Plains Male and Female Lead/Female Lead's Vicious Villain] Mo Lian, who was heavily injured and unconscious, had a dream. In the dream, the world was a huge and thick book of words. All the order revolved around the male and female protagonists, and she was the strongest villain here. In the end…she died an unnatural death. Since he was a villain and knew his ending, how could he be a qualified vicious villain if he did not change it? She would definitely crush anyone who tried to stop her from living in the future. * Zi Sangyue and Mo Lian were two extremes. If Mo Lian was said to be a poisonous snake born under the Buddha, dark, vicious, and cunning, then Zi Sangyue was a god who was born to give hope and warmth to all living beings. Viper wanted to make the gods remember her kindness for the rest of their lives, but the gods fell. Zi Sangyue had once sworn not to kill anyone, but he had broken his vows and killed many people for Mo Lian. "Didn't you say you'd rather die than hurt people?" I thought you would come up and block the knife for me. However…the current situation is very interesting." Zi Sangyue stared at the poisonous snake that had trapped him. She smiled gently."My wife doesn't want me to get hurt. They want to hurt my beloved wife, so this is the only way." Mo Lian thought,…Alright, but since when did he become so familiar with calling her "Madam"? [It's not purely an ancient saying. In the later stages, it will involve the Reincarnation Demon God. This male protagonist is still a god, in charge of reincarnation!] [Male Lead: Zi Sangyue (Ghavan)]
