The Deceitful One

With the advent of steam power, mankind has advanced and ushered in the industrial revolution. This is the age of steam locomotives, automatons, guns, and cannons, as well as curses, magic, artifacts, and the occult. Hidden in the shadows are a group of extraordinary people who wield enormous power and strange abilities that normal people cannot even begin to comprehend. They are known as Transcendents! Bryan, a wily thief with a penchant for mischief, lost his parents at a very young age and was forced to live on the streets. That is until his whole life turned around when he was shown the Path to becoming a Transcendent. The Theft Path specializes in deceit and illusions. It can steal everything under the heavens. Even the powers, thoughts, and lives of others. Follow Bryan on his journey through this dangerous and treacherous world as he steals from gods and robs the mortals. This is the story of The Deceitful One. *** My novel has a steampunk world setting, so expect a lot of steam-powered technology as well as retro-looking futuristic inventions. Furthermore, there will be churches, secret organizations, and cults. So if you're a fan of LotM—which I have taken inspiration from btw—you will definitely like my novel. Also, this is my first attempt at writing a novel so you might find some mistakes here and there. Just know that I'm constantly trying to improve. Cheers! *** https://discord.gg/ZwFUa2zM

A Friend

The moment Bryan had come out of the woods, he had already begun weaving an illusion. Since then, he had been calmly watching from the sides as Ron continued to ruthlessly beat down a tree trunk.

He couldn't help but come to the conclusion that if it was really him instead of the tree trunk, he might have really been on the verge of dying. After all, those shots from Ron were very vicious.

Just as Bryan noticed that the veins had almost covered Ron's entire body, he decided to cancel the illusion. After all, he could now feel that Ron had gone past the peak strength brought about by his forbidden technique.

Now, Ron was experiencing the negative drawbacks of using such a technique. Despite that, being the cautious person that he was, Bryan decided to create another illusion in order to deliver a final blow to Ron.
