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

Bryan vs Henry

Bryan stepped inside the ring feeling slightly nervous. He walked toward the center of the ring and stood right opposite Henry.

Standing in front of the towering figure made Bryan's palms moisten. However, he took a few deep breaths and calmed himself down. His aura instantaneously became stable.

Noticing the change in Bryan, Henry lifted his eyebrow in slight surprise, 'He composed himself within a few moments? Looks like he's been in some real fights.'

"The rules are simple: no spiritual force, no weapons, only pure physical combat. You have to try and last a minute against me. Are we clear?" Henry explained.

'Last a minute, huh? Reminds me of the training with my teacher. I wonder how he is now, I wonder if his wife has given birth to their child safely…' Bryan thought inwardly as a faint smile formed on his lips.

Shaking his head and ridding himself of distracting thoughts, he replied, "Understood!"
