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

In the library of the Silver Owls headquarters, Bryan was sitting cross-legged on a blue velvet, single-seater couch. On his lap was a thick book that had a grey hardcover and looked extremely ancient.


He was currently trying to figure out the answers to why he always had that same dream whenever he advanced a rank. 


After every advancement in the Apprentice Stage, Bryan would be pulled into a dream. Now, he had been in that same dream twice already. 


And according to his speculations, when he advanced to a Transcendent, the dream would be even more prominent.


To be honest, Bryan was quite apprehensive about this recurring dream. After all, in the Transcendent world, the unknown more often than not represented danger. That is why he wished to learn more about this dream.
