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

Holy Blood Sect's Plan

The metal hooks pierced through the necks of the tens of bodies as they hung from the ceiling. All of them were young boys. Some had lifeless eyes and some of them were even twitching from time to time, on the verge of dying.

The black-haired lady looked at the ones that were still breathing and giggled coquettishly, "Oh? Looks like some of you are still alive."

She then proceeded to watch them as they struggled to get the hooks off their bodies. However, it was all for naught. Their deaths had already been decided.

The black-haired lady took great pleasure in watching all this as she continued to bathe in the blood of her victims. Drops of blood drizzled down from the dead bodies as her smile only grew brighter and brighter.

Both Bryan and Benny saw this and froze on the spot. Bryan then covered Benny's eyes and whispered, "You shouldn't be watching any of this."
