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

The crowded streets, the diverse neighborhoods like Harlem or the Lower East Side, all add to the atmosphere.

Well, 70s New York in crime fiction was a world full of seedy underbellies. The era's crime fiction frequently highlighted the drug - related crimes that were rampant. The streets were filled with shady characters, from drug dealers to mobsters. It was also a time when racial tensions were high, and this was often incorporated into the crime narratives. Writers would use the city's diverse neighborhoods, like Harlem or the Bronx, to set the stage for their crime - filled tales.

Definitely 'The Black Dahlia' by James Ellroy. Although it's based on a real - life crime in Los Angeles, Ellroy's writing style and the dark, seedy nature of the story can be compared to the gritty New York crime novels. 'Mystic River' by Dennis Lehane is also a great pick. Set in Boston, but with themes of crime, guilt, and redemption that are very relevant to the New York crime novel genre. And 'In the Woods' by Tana French is a psychological thriller that has some of the elements of a crime novel set in an urban environment like New York.
