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

I, the model of the righteous path, how can I become a demon!

Shang You stood on the mountain peak and looked at the broken sky above his head as he chanted softly. Above the green sky, immortals appear, and divine light gathers in the divination of heaven. The ancient ruins of the Nine Realms were explored, and the treasures of Kunlun were locked in secret boxes. The Eight Desolates Sects started to fight, and the four sects 'prodigies danced in the sky. Now that the immortal destiny had descended upon the Nine States, who in the world could ascend? His gaze was far-reaching, and his pupils constantly reflected images of his past. After Shang You transmigrated to this world, he worked hard to cultivate and successfully entered the Green Firmament Grotto-heaven with the help of his system that could help others realize their hopes and become stronger. In the sect, his fellow disciples admired him very much and called him a genius who was willing to help others and an honest scum. Outside the sect, the disciples of Tian Ji Sect said that he was a genius who was entangled with the sect master. The disciples of Nine Realms Sky Pavilion said that he was a kind person who was entangled with the saintess. The disciples of Karakorum Immortal Mansion said that he was entangled with the sect and that he was a bastard that only appeared once in ten thousand years. Being loved by Karakorum Immortal Mansion, Shang You had always felt a great pressure. Later on, Shang You felt even more pressure. Because he was showing signs of becoming a demon. The conversation between him and the demonic witch was still vivid in his mind. "Shang You, you're destined to come to my side." "Bullshit!" Sigh, I was really young and frivolous at that time. It would have been better if I had agreed. Forget it, he didn't want to think about it anymore. It was time to risk his life. Shang You protected the lights below him and looked at the terrifying figures in the crack in the sky. He raised his sword and said angrily,"Damn it, where are the Ascendant cultivators?" Come and save me! He shouldn't have believed the words of those scammers from the Archaic Mysteries Sect! When I get back, I will beat up the people of Karakorum Immortal Mansion to vent my anger!"
