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

Fated Encounter

Monday, 19th October 1582.

Bryan sat inside his car in a somber mood as he looked at the fleeting scenery through the window. The results of his dream divination were alarming, to say the least. Hence, as soon as he got the revelation from the Dreamworld, he hurriedly went out to confirm.

Benny who was sitting on his lap, looked up at him and asked in concern, 'What did you see?'

Bryan replied with a pensive expression, "It was very concerning."

If what the vision he saw was true, then this whole conspiracy including the Holy Blood Sect and the Central Continent was much deeper than he thought. In simple terms, he couldn't believe what he had gotten himself into.

Soon his car stopped by at a relatively famous crossing. Bryan, along with Benny, got out of the car and started to walk on the sidewalk. This was one of the main streets in Nadir, Solomon Avenue. Naturally, it was named after the founding emperor of the empire.
