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

Telepathically

"Benny!" Bryan crouched and looked down under his bed as he searched for Benny. He then got back up and searched his entire bedroom but still couldn't find him.

Panic-stricken, he then searched the other parts of his apartment. Since, a week after Benny had hatched, from time to time, he would go missing and then at other times he would appear out of the blue.

Bryan had no idea when or how Benny left the confines of his apartment. Or where the little bugger went either!

For the past two weeks, Bryan had been taking Benny out wherever he went. Whether it was the Silver Owls HQ—where everyone completely fell in love with Benny—, grocery runs, or even when he went out drinking with Andrew and Elijah.

It's because Bryan did not want to leave a newborn Benny at home all by himself. Bryan thought it would be very bad to leave Benny alone, especially for the latter's growth.
