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

Ostracized

Bryan had no interest in getting to know them any further. To him, it was just a one-night stand. And he was content with things remaining the way they were.

After exiting the bedroom, he recalled his memories from last night and tried to find the way out of Elijah's villa.

Situated on Augustus Street, Elijah's house was a three-storied villa and it was very big, to say the least.

Bryan was currently on the second floor. He followed the red-carpeted corridor to the right and walked as he examined the beautiful paintings that adorned the walls.

The paintings were very exquisite to look at and most of them were landscape paintings while a few of them were Elijah's family portraits.

As he walked, Bryan came across a room on his left and wondered, 'Hmm, if my memory serves me right then this should be Eli's room.'

He walked towards the door and knocked twice. A few moments later, just when Bryan was about to knock again, Elijah's voice was heard from within the room, "Come in."
