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

Gathering of Legends

At the dawn of the 4th Era, the entire Western Continent was in a constant state of warfare and turmoil. There were numerous kingdoms in the continent that were forever waging wars against their neighbors and vying for supremacy.

The period of unchanging warfare lasted for over a century and was known as the Age of Blood. Countless kingdoms fell and many more were founded. The mortality rate at the time for men was no more than thirty years old.

That was a time period when the moment someone was born, they would be trained to become warriors and fight for their respective kingdoms. Over the span of a century, billions of people died in battle.

This was a time of blood, death, and conflict. It was during such a time of bloodshed that the continent gave birth to a sovereign. The lands were in chaos for a long time and now longed for peace. And thus, in an unassuming part of the continent, a child with great destiny was born.
