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

Poem

"Huh?" Bryan looked at him and inquired, "How long has it been since I entered the bathroom?"

The store manager looked at Bryan as if he was looking at an idiot, "It's barely been a minute. Did you really want to use the bathroom?"

Bryan smiled awkwardly, "Haha, I'm pretty quick at everything I do."

With that said, he rushed out of the restaurant. The store manager looked at Bryan's departing back and shook his head in disappointment, "Tsk, tsk, I pray for your wife."

Meanwhile, as Bryan exited the restaurant and crossed the street, he couldn't help but sigh in relief, "Thankfully, no more than a minute passed here."

Benny who was sitting on his shoulder, giggled, 'Imagine if days or even months passed by and Donald was frantically searching the whole city for us?'

Bryan looked at Benny and then both burst into laughter. The people walking by the street were giving them weird looks. After all, when had they ever seen a man laughing with a cat?
