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

"Wait! How the fuck did it get inside there?" Bryan couldn't believe his eyes as he intently stared at the silver card in Andrew's hand.


He had already expected to see all kinds of strange things in the Transcendent world. However, seeing it in person was really an eye-opener for him.


"Hehe, this is a special sealing card made by Old Larry himself. I had to pay a large chunk of my fortune to get him to make three of these," Andrew chuckled as he took out two more similar-looking silver cards from his pocket and showed it to Bryan.


Bryan took one of the cards and scrutinized it, "It looks just like any other normal card. I can't even begin to comprehend the intricacies behind it."


He suddenly thought of his silver pocket watch which was sort of similar to this card and probed, "Can this store normal items as well?"
