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!

The Deceitful One

Bryan launched his arms and firmly poked with the index and middle fingers on both his hands at four pressure points around Henry's armpit at lightning speed, making his hand movements appear as a blurry shadow in the eyes of the onlookers.


After being poked in the rotator cuff muscles which controlled his shoulder, Henry's right hand was instantly paralyzed as it limply dropped down to his side.


His eyes widened as he was completely unable to feel his right arm. With incredulity etched on his face, he mumbled, "What the fuck!?"


Bryan didn't give Henry any moment of respite as he quickly circled around him and used his fingers again to jab the latter at lightning speed.


This time, Bryan poked Henry twice in his left quadricep muscles and twice more in his hamstring muscles, at once causing the latter to drop to his knee.
