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

Inferno Order

A few minutes prior to the Hell's spawn perishing, Bryan was standing beside Ricky in the living room as he listened to the sound of fighting from the room across him.

He hesitated for a long time, debating whether to go in there and help or not. However, ultimately he decided to stay in his position.

'Captain has instructed me to stand guard here. I just hope they're doing fine.' He thought in anxiousness.

All of a sudden, Bryan heard the sound of footsteps coming from the second floor. His eyes narrowed as he followed the source of the sound.

Soon the source of the footsteps traveled toward the stairs that led to the first floor. A few moments later a little boy of around six years old walked down the stairs.

He was wearing green colored pajamas and hugging a brown teddy bear with one hand. The boy had brownish-blond hair and brown eyes just like Ricky.
