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

Nadir

Thursday, 12th July 1582.

The City of Dreams, Nadir rose from the earth like a phoenix rising from the flames and piercing the skies.

The city's towering buildings and various machinery present throughout, shone with a resplendent light as they reflected the bright light of the rising sun.

Steam hissed from every corner of the streets in Nadir, carrying with it the sounds of moving gears and rattling cogs.

Nadir was the capital of the Belize Kingdom, a city that was known for its progress and innovation. A city that was known by innumerable immigrants that came here to start a new life, as the city where dreams came true!

As a whole, the city looked like a giant steel and concrete behemoth. Steam and machinery played a large role in the functioning of this city.

The air was thick and gloomy with the scent of oil and smoke coming from the numerous factories in the suburbs. And the constant sound of the rumbling machinery never ceased to exist.
