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

Andrew remained in his spot for a very long time. No matter how many times he had done this in the past, it still pained him every time he did it.

Bryan walked to him and patted him on the shoulder, "Are you okay?"

Andrew stood up and smiled faintly, "Yeah, I'm all right."

"So, do you think she's entered the cycle of reincarnation?" Bryan inquired.

Andrew nodded his head, "I guess so. Her soul might perhaps be reborn into a new body. If there is a next life, I hope she leads a life better than this one."

The duo then proceeded to patrol the rest of the cemetery. Sparse trees were planted in various parts of the cemetery, however, during nighttime, they looked extremely spooky.

The moon that kept hiding behind the clouds and the thin layer of fog that covered the sea of tombstones did not help either.

Bryan and Andrew walked in silence along the stone-paved path as both were lost in their own thoughts.
