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

Mass Illusion

Sunday, 18th October 1582.

In the dark of the night, Bryan jumped from the rooftop of one building to another as he sprint at his highest speed. Dressed in all black, he appeared to be a specter and it was difficult to see his true body because of how fast he was moving.

Tonight, he was going to raid one of the Holy Blood Sect's bases on the outskirts of Nadir. After having invaded the dreams of a few of their members in the past, he knew the location of two of their bases, and currently, he was on his way to visit one.

Naturally, he had worn the face of one of the Blood Path Transcendents whom he had previously killed. The base he was going to, mostly had Apprentices, Rank 1, and Rank 2 Blood Path Transcendents. And through his interrogation in the dream, he knew that there was one Rank 3 Transcendent as well, who acted as the warden.
