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

Long-Term Mission

The steam car looked very similar to a carriage, instead, there was a steam engine, including the boiler, an exhaust pipe that was pointing to the sky at the back of the car, and a steam condenser at the front.

There were four rubber wheels attached to the sides of the car. Two at the front and two at the back. The interior of the car could comfortably seat four people. Five, if they squeezed in together.

The driver's seat was at the front, right behind the condenser. There were also two vertical levers in front of the driver's seat that facilitated the operation of the car.

Furthermore, in order for night visibility, there were two lanterns fixed beside the driver's seat. However, unlike the passenger seats, the driver's seat did not have an overhead roof.

Bryan could already imagine the streets of Damascus being gradually filled with steam-powered cars in the near future. This was truly the age of steam!
