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

My Own Path

Saturday, 1st November 1582.

An hour before sunrise, inside the meditation room in Bryan's mansion, he could be seen meticulously drawing a mysterious runic formation on the ground. If one were to look at this formation for a long period of time, they'd be under the impression that their destiny and fate had been unveiled to them.

This was the runic formation array that Lady Fate had given to Bryan. This array would directly transport his spiritual body to her divine kingdom. In the blink of an eye, a month had already passed and it was once again the time for the gathering.

It had been almost two weeks since he had met Nicholas. After their 'fight' last time, Nicholas was yet to return with an offer. But considering his personality, Bryan doubted that the eccentric genius would come up with something good. Hence, he had to take matters into his own hands.
