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

Night Patrol

Bryan and Andrew visited most of the places in Damascus on foot, looking for anything they found suspicious, whether it was supernatural-related or not.

They first patrolled the entirety of Laurent Avenue and Kingston avenue. Since this was a relatively well-off area and also had the presence of the Church and the Police Station, there were barely any crimes that took place there.

Next, they visited the neighborhood of Augustus Street. This was the place where all nobles, wealthy businessmen, and other affluent families resided in. This neighborhood too had a very minimal crime rate.

The police always made sure to patrol here day and night since most of their funding came from the wealthy in the form of donations.

Then the duo headed towards the area where the middle-class people lived.

Patrolling in this area took them close to three hours to complete because the entire middle-class neighborhood included all the blocks from 1st Street all the way up to 20th Street.
