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

Dreamworld Part I

Bryan turned to look at Benny who was busy licking his paws and stated excitedly, "Benny! Now witness my last innate ability and also my most favorite!"

Benny ran towards Bryan and sat down in front of him, waiting for the latter to display his ability.

Bryan chuckled and instructed, "Stay right here and watch me!"

He then entered the bathroom and shut the door behind him. Bryan turned around and stared at the tiny gap between the wall and the door. The next moment, his body turned incorporeal and blended into the shadow within that tiny gap!

Benny who was staring intently at the bathroom door, all of a sudden saw a shadow enlarge from the crack between the door and the wooden frame on the wall. The shadow then turned corporeal and the next moment it turned into Bryan!

Benny's eyes widened as he stood on all fours, 'Bryan! How did you do that!?'

Bryan looked at Benny with a smug expression, "That was pretty good, eh?"
