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 Shadow of Great Britain

“Next, we have the most noble recipient of the Order of the Garter, the Grand Cross of Saint Michael and Saint George, the Grand Cross of the Bath, the Victoria Cross and the lower grades of Knighthood, the leader of the anti-colonial movement, the bell-ringer of the East India Company, the hero of the Crimean War, a Fellow of the Royal Society, a lifelong dear friend of literary giants such as Dickens and Great Dumas, a steadfast supporter of scientific luminaries like Faraday and Darwin, having served as assistant under-secretary, deputy under-secretary, and permanent under-secretary in departments of the Home Office and the Navy Department of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the inaugural Cabinet Secretary and head of the civil service, the first graduate and most distinguished alumnus of our school. Please welcome Sir Arthur Hastings to deliver a speech on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the University of London.” Arthur's gaze swept across the crowd before him, looking at the young faces and murmured, “Agares, what do you think I should say?” The Red Devil's wraith hovered behind him, saliva almost dribbling from the corner of his mouth, “Look at these ignorant souls; they still worship you as a hero. Why not say something they'd like to hear?” Arthur took a deep breath and let out a deafening roar, “Oxford is a bunch of whores' bastards!” “Oh!!!!” The audience erupted into thunderous applause. “Cambridge is the same!” he added immediately. The applause grew even more fervent... (The protagonist, possessed by a devil, travels through 19th-century Britain in a world without magic)

Well, 'Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil' is a great true crime novel. It combines a murder mystery with the unique charm and eccentricity of Savannah. 'The Devil in the White City' is also notable. It weaves together the story of the 1893 Chicago World's Fair and a serial killer who preyed on the fairgoers. And then there's 'I'll Be Gone in the Dark' by Michelle McNamara, which is about the hunt for the Golden State Killer.

A great blurb for true crime novels should be engaging and mysterious. It needs to give a taste of the crime without revealing too much. For example, it could start with a gripping statement about the crime scene or the victim.

I would recommend 'The Stranger Beside Me' by Ann Rule. It's about her experience working with Ted Bundy, which makes for a very chilling read. Another good one is 'Helter Skelter' which details the Manson Family murders.

In the realm of 'awesome crime novels', 'In Cold Blood' by Truman Capote is a notable one. It's a non - fictional novel that tells the story of a real - life murder in a very detailed and engaging way. It's almost like you're right there in Kansas witnessing the events unfold. 'The Big Sleep' by Raymond Chandler is also great. The hard - boiled detective Philip Marlowe is an iconic character, and the noir - style writing makes the crime - solving process really exciting.

[Quick Wear: Lord God, don't tease me.]

As one of the four managers of the 3,000 Sectors, Tang Xingmi didn't expect that one day, Ming Qi, the villain Demon Lord in one of the planes in the Immortal Demon Realm, was about to destroy the entire plane. It was all the host's fault for courting death. If the world was destroyed, the order of the 3,000 Sectors would be disrupted, and the other worlds would also be affected or even collapse…Tang Xingmi found three other companions, but they were helpless. The three heartless comrades had asked her to seek help from the Lord, but she had no choice but to go now… The Sovereign didn't say much. He looked at her leisurely and frowned. Then, he entered that plane. Miraculously, the entire world had returned to three months ago. The three thousand worlds had stabilized, but the Sovereign hadn't returned. What was going on? The system's meatball who had caused trouble turned into a three or four-year-old child and slipped in front of Tang Xingmi in fear. He really couldn't get angry at this bun. Fortunately, he still knew how to kill that courting host. Otherwise, he would really be angered to death. "Supervisor Tang, the Divine Lord's soul has dispersed into the three thousand Sectors. For this incident…" "What? Then what should we do?" "That's simple too. The Sovereign said that you want to save him personally, collect his divine soul, and let him be reborn!" Tang Xingmi was in a difficult position. It was indeed her fault. She had to take the blame. "How do we save him?" "Bind to the system. Attack the villain and eliminate the Darkening Points. Your favorability will reach 100. Once you complete it, you will receive a wisp of the Lord God's soul." Dumbfounded.“What ???” Ding ~~~ The system binding to the villain boss has been successful! Damn it…
