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

Underground Prison

Church of Wisdom, North Kingston Avenue.

Inside an office behind the prayer hall, Bishop Walls and Robert, who had just arrived from the scene, sat across each other as the latter recounted the details of the case.

"So you're saying it was a Hell's spawn?" Bishop Walls asked for confirmation with a pensive look.

Robert nodded his head, "That's right, Father. I looked through the person's memory. In one of the memories, I saw two individuals in black robes give him the scroll that contained the dark ritual."

"What else did you see?" Bishop Walls inquired further.

"I saw those two individuals piously chant 'Glory to the Dark God' as they gave the scroll to Ricky," Robert replied solemnly.

"Dark God…" Bishop Walls mumbled as his eyebrows furrowed, "It is indeed the Inferno Order."

He then took out a white crystal ball from the drawer and kept it on the table. When Robert saw this, he patiently waited. He knew that Bishop Walls was now going to perform divination!
