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

Emergency

The pentagram-shaped runic formation lit up with an eerie red light. Soon it enveloped all the black-robed figures that were standing on it.

Gradually, the red light devoured their skin, flesh, blood, and life essence. But strangely enough, none of the hooded figures, including the blond middle-aged priest had an ounce of fear on their faces.

Sacrificing themselves for the descent of one of the 9 Dukes of Hell was their life's greatest honor. Spreading chaos was the maxim that the members of the Inferno Order lived by. Even if it meant dying in the process!

"Glory to the Dark God!" These were the last words chanted by the blond priest as his body slowly dissipated into nothingness. All the while, the maniacal smile on his face never faded.

Meanwhile, on the surface, more than half of Augustus Street was illuminated by a sinister bloody light. This was the very same area that was right about the runic formation.
