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

Massacre at Brown Manor Part II

Jack and the people on his side were completely taken aback at what had just transpired. They knew for a fact that none of them on their side had shot the bullet earlier.

However, it was irrefutable that one of Jeffrey Gill's men had just died from that gunshot. It wasn't until they heard Jeffrey's order to start shooting that they came to their senses.

Cillian who has closest to Jack hurriedly grabbed his shoulders and pulled him away from the incoming flurry of bullets. He then took Jack and hid him behind a big wooden crate.

"Master Jack! Stay here and don't come out until you hear from any of us, understood?" Cillian practically screamed in Jack's ears.

Jack who had completely lost his composure could only nod his head like an idiot. After all, he had never even held a gun before, much less been involved in a gunfight.
