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

Changes

The legends of Medici, although completely eradicated from the history of the Waking World by humans, forever remained in the memories of the deities and other powerful beings.

During his time, he wreaked havoc on all the continents. High-String Transcendents would tremble in fear just at the mention of his name. He was that formidable!

Not just because of his genius and ruthlessness but because of the Path that he had created! Before him, the Theft Path never existed. And when the Theft Path was born, the whole Transcendent world was plunged into chaos.

No one could go toe to toe with Medici and even his descendants! Hence, when Medici disappeared all of a sudden, the entire world came together to finally eradicate his family.

After all, even though the members of the Medici Family also practiced the Theft Path, they were nearly not as good at it as Medici.
