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 looked around the warehouse one more time, making sure that everybody was dead. Yet, he wasn't reassured with just a sweep of his gaze. Hence, he went around the warehouse, closely examining every dead person.

After completely making sure, he cast Shadow Concealment on himself and exited the warehouse. It had already been 30 minutes since the massacre had begun.

The maids and servants in Brown Manor must have definitely heard the loud commotion and called the police by now. Bryan still had to loot Jack's house, hence, he rushed to the manor, in the dark of night.

He had already changed into his back three-piece suit and a black trench coat before exiting the warehouse. Furthermore, he had also changed into different shoes. Or else, he would be leaving a trail of bloody footprints wherever he went.
