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

Kill Them All

"W-What the fuck is going on!?" Bryan looked at the night sky in the distance where red-colored fireworks were blooming, in utter disbelief. Something really terrible must have happened for so many signal flares to be shot all at once.

Beads of sweat dropped from Ron's forehead as he instructed the team, "Everyone! Focus on the enemies ahead!"

The rest of the team members snapped back to their senses as they saw the Blood Path Transcendents look at them as if they were prey. And in this scenario, they were indeed prey.

After all, they were outnumbered ten to six and the other side also had a Rank 2 Transcendent leading them!

However, the members of the Strike Team were also seasoned warriors, even Bryan who had joined recently had had his fair share of life-and-death battles. Even though they were outnumbered, they didn't back down nor did they try to escape.

The six of them had their backs to each other as they looked out for any incoming attacks from the enemy.
