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.

The order of Ian Rankin's Rebus novels can be a bit tricky to determine for someone new to the series. However, beginning with the earlier ones like 'Strip Jack' is a good start. It gives you an initial taste of Rebus's character, his flaws and his determination. As you progress through the series, you'll see how his character evolves over time, like in 'Fleshmarket Close' where he faces new challenges in his investigations.

An ordinary magician in the cultivation world

Mu Shiqi, who had no parents, was just an ordinary magic girl in the magic world. Although this magic girl was hunted by the Church of Light and the Church of Darkness after she picked up an ebony staff when she was 15 years old, and was ranked first on the wanted list of the black and white sides of the magic world three years later, but... Mu Shiqi had always believed that she was just an ordinary magical girl, and the pursuit was all Little Dough's fault. The ordinary ebony staff spirit ball expressed that it would not take the blame. It shook its head crazily and hid the suspicious blue bead that it had just pulled out from the corner of the Temple of Light. One man and one staff had stirred up the two major churches in the magic world. The Church Master of Light was so angry that he had to pull out his beard and the Church Master of Darkness had to turn white. Finally, he was blown up in an experiment of a new magic potion. The Church heaved a sigh of relief. The cultivation world had taken over this little witch. Let's see how a rising Phoenix Star would affect the structure of the cultivation world for ten thousand years! Crippled spirit root? It doesn't matter, I have the magic imprint; Sword control technique? I can fly on a broom; A formation genius? I'm sorry, where are you from? If you don't understand the Fanya language on the magic array, don't speak. Talisman Dao attainment? Although I didn't understand runes, I knew that every word in Fanya language contained magic power. I wondered if it could be used as runes. The above was the ebony staff spirit ball's vivid imitation of its owner's self-narration, and its owner, Mu Shiqi: I'm not, I'm not, I'm just an ordinary magical girl.

The kidnapper wailed. Chop off his fingers! What was wrong with her brain? It was too terrifying! Ever since Su Su, who came with a good luck buff, came to the Qin family, the Qin family's luck had improved.
