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

Child of the Slums

Wednesday, 20th November 1582.

When Charlotte had visited Bryan's house the last time, she had mentioned that the emperor wanted him to meet a certain someone. And although Bryan had asked her about the identity of this person, she wasn't able to tell him anything because she herself didn't know it.

The emperor had personally sent a letter through her and instructed her to give the letter to Bryan and inform him about meeting the person. That was all she knew.

Currently, Bryan was sitting inside his study and reading the letter by Solomon. He'd already read it a few times over already. But still, whenever he read the first half of the letter, his eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.

The first half of the letter was basically the emperor highlighting all the accolades of Charlotte from a young age until now. And how she was a prodigy with supreme-grade aptitude.
