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

Grace's Shock

Sunday, 17th November 1582.

It had been ten days since the princess of the Dicentra Empire had come to Nadir, and as expected, word of this quickly traveled to every noble household and even the common folks of the city.

Everyone was in a jovial mood, to say the least. Although very few people in the empire knew of this Dicentra Princess, it didn't stop them from drowning the city in a festive atmosphere. After all, no matter who it was, as long as they belonged to the Dicentra Family, they'd be welcomed and loved everywhere in the Western Continent.

The reason for this was naturally because of how much they revered the founding emperor, Solomon Dicentra, as well as the successive emperors because of whom this continent stands so tall in this world.
