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

*Images at the bottom of this chapter*

Dear Readers,

I have invested a lot of my time, energy, and hard work into creating (with the help of AI, of course) these beautiful images so that you may all have a wonderful reading experience.

I will be adding images for mostly the characters and locations and will continue to update as more characters and locations are introduced in the story.

Of course, I will add images of only the relevant characters. Do not expect me to create and add images of every Tom, Dick, and Harry in my story. After all, I am only a panda. And pandas are very lazy, trust me.

You will be able to see the images if you click on the paragraph comments for the respective characters and locations if you scroll below. I hope you will continue riding with me through this magical journey.

Love,

Panda Dumpling
