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

Tip For The Cold

Bryan stepped out of his apartment dressed in all black as usual. He was wearing a black three-piece suit and a black trench coat.

One could see a silver chain tied to the middle button of his black vest. The other end of the silver chain was connected to the pocket watch that he always carried with himself. The weather was cold so he had also hung a dark gray muffler around his neck.

He called for a public carriage and got inside after instructing the driver to head toward the factory area. The Transcendent convention that he was going to was in one of the residential buildings near the factory area.

This convention wasn't the same one that he had visited with Andrew and Elijah but a different one. Over the last couple of months, he had found a few more secret gatherings through the help of his friends in the Strike Team.
