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 Emperor's black moonlight has returned.

On the day that Emperor Gong Liquan of the Three Pure Regions ascended to the throne, he saw in the mirror of the future that Spirit Emperor Shaohao was about to destroy the world. He had wanted to descend to the mortal world to stop Shaohao from reincarnating, but he had caused her to die with a monstrous resentment, and then the soul fire returned to the Spirit Venerable's body. Emperor Gongli joined forces with the gods to form a killing array. They gouged out the heart of Shaohao's true body, cut off her head, and removed her wings and scales. All the gods thought that the future had been reversed, and even Shaohao felt that his soul would return to nothingness. However, she opened her eyes again and found that she had become a harmless little crow. In this life, she could only try to cultivate and kill her way back to the 33rd Layer of Heaven. She wanted the Three Pure Ones to have no True Gods and all the immortals to fall. And picking up her little immortal at Lishui Creek seemed to be an unexpected and also a part of her fate. The God of Creation had created her, a weapon that rebelled against all laws, and had long set the outcome of her death. Only this person called Wen Jingchan had tried everything to keep her alive. ------ Heart-sealing Lock, Love, Irascible Demon x Emotions Stable, Gentle, Little Immortal (I haven't decided whether to be or he yet. I'll tell you in the introduction after I save the manuscript.)

I Have a Book of Investiture of the Gods

Zhao Zheng had transmigrated to a world of immortal cultivation. The cultivators in this world relied on visualizing powerful existences to obtain strength. Some visualized the prehistoric beasts, some visualized the evil spirits, some visualized the sun, moon, and stars, some visualized the mountains, rivers, and seas. All living beings could be visualized. Zhao Zheng was a disciple of Mount Qingping, but he was unable to visualize the Qingping Sword in three years. He was about to be expelled from the sect to work as a laborer. He was really unlucky. One had to know that this was a world of immortal cultivation. Ordinary people could encounter a calamity at any time. Therefore, it was impossible to be a mortal. Only by cultivating could he maintain his life like this. At this moment, a book called " Investiture of the Gods " in Zhao Zheng's mind began to shine with infinite light. It was even a high-definition video version. Countless immortals, demons, and magic treasures and arrays shone within. Hongjun, Three Pure Ones, Lu Ya, Divine Dragon, Qilin, Phoenix, Golden Crow, Star, Heavenly Court, Pangu Banner, Four Immortal Slaying Swords, Primordial Chaos Golden Dipper, and so on. Thus, Zhao Zheng's body flashed and transformed into his true form. He raised his eyes and summoned the immeasurable Grand Sun Primordial Fire. With a wave of his hand, he summoned the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. In the immeasurable God's seal, I am the most respected in the primordial essence.
