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

As the eggshell cracked open, a small black feline creature slowly crawled out of it. The creature had four tentacles that protruded out from the bottom of its spine as they continuously writhed around its body.

The creature had black glossy fur that covered the entirety of its body and it shone brightly as it reflected the light in Bryan's bedroom.

As soon as Bryan laid his eyes on this creature, his body froze from utter fear. The creature naturally emitted an otherworldly aura of dread and terror!

When Bryan had initially brought the egg home, he had thought that if the creature by chance happened to attack him after hatching, he would easily be able to deal with it. But now, as he saw the creature standing before him, he was scared out of his wits.

Beads of sweat began to form on his forehead as he stared at the creature wide-eyed. He couldn't move. No! Forget moving, Bryan couldn't even utter a word!
