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

Rage Part II

The last two bullets fired had the Penetration Effect and the Explosion Effect that were a result of the runes inscribed on the barrel of the Hand Cannon.

Bryan threw the Hand Cannon to the floor, as its bullets were now all used up. He then dashed towards Anthony who was still grimacing in pain as he stared intently at his missing arm, shock etched all over his face.

Before Anthony could recover from the pain, Bryan had already tackled him and smashed through the wooden railing as the duo fell off the second floor.

Anthony felt as if a steam train had hit him and he found it difficult to breathe because of Bryan's strong grip on his torso.

Just as he had found some room to breathe, the duo fell flat on the ground. Both of them grunted in pain as they separated. Anthony, already had the wind knocked out of him after landing on his back.

He clutched his neck with his left hand and attempted to take large mouthfuls of air as he struggled to breathe.
