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

Lady Fate

Bryan's heart began to beat at high speed, he was so alarmed that he wasn't able to realize when someone had sneaked up behind him. And not just him, even Benny was unaware of this person.

He abruptly turned around and got into a fighting stance as he gazed at this newcomer. But when he laid eyes on the person, he was overcome by a feeling of insignificance. He felt as if he was staring straight at the universe. In front of the grand cosmos, a human could only be as insignificant as an ant.

The person's presence was so vast and majestic, Bryan had never seen or felt anything like it before. He involuntarily lowered his gaze from the person. Strangely enough, he felt that looking at this person directly was sacrilegious.

He clenched his fists as his body began to tremble in fear. 'Who is this woman!?' He began to have this absurd notion in his heart that he must kneel down in front of her. Her very presence demanded absolute respect and worship, almost as if… she was a God!
