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

"I am the creator of a new Path, my own Path!"

A brief period of silence ensued after Bryan declared his bold statement. Everyone at the gathering was visibly moved. They all stared intently at Bryan, their expressions varying. Some were shocked, while others were skeptical.

Solomon was the most shocked out of them all. He looked at Bryan incredulously and asked, "Kiddo… are you serious?"

However it wasn't Bryan that replied, but Lady Fate. "Our youngest has achieved something that hasn't been done in thousands of years. Wise sages of the past have tried and failed, but none of them could create their own Paths."

She then looked at Bryan and profoundly smiled, "Bryan here has not only created his own Path but has also begun embarking on it. The last Transcendent to achieve such a feat was Medici, the Blasphemer."
