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

The Mind

Bryan finally understood as he began to ponder, 'I see, so does that mean, once I embark on the Theft Path, I'll be able to either make Shadow Path or Illusion Path my Secondary Path?'

He had already experimented with this before and had come to realize that spells from these two Paths used up surprisingly less spiritual force compared to spells from other Paths.

In other words, this meant that Theft Path was highly compatible with Shadow and Illusion Paths!

He then looked at Detective Watson and asked, "Then teacher, do you also cultivate a Secondary Path?"

Detective Watson nodded with a smile, "Yes, I cultivate the Weapon Path as my Secondary Path. Us Wisdom Path Transcendents are physically very weak, to begin with. Hence, most of us cultivate a Secondary Path."
