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

First, Bryan emptied the bottle that contained 60 ml of distilled water into the bowl. Then he put 10 grams of hibiscus grass powder into the water.

After meticulously stirring the liquid with the spoon for 2 minutes, the crystal clear water had now turned gray. He then grabbed 40 grams of Dusk Crab's crystal from the black box and gently dropped it into the bowl.

When he had bought the Dusk Crab's crystal from the secret gathering, the entire crystal was 50 grams. Bryan had already removed the excess 10 grams from it and kept it aside beforehand. The remaining amount was all he needed for the potion.

The moment the black trigonal crystal touched the gray water, it began to sizzle and slowly break down. A few minutes later, the black crystal had completely broken down, making the liquid inside the bowl much thicker and darker.
