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

Benny tilted his head and innocently replied, 'I guess?'


Bryan was greatly astounded just by thinking about the possibilities one could have with this ability. If one could enter someone else's dream then everything about them could be laid bare!


The person would be able to understand their thoughts and emotions as they explored their subconscious through their dream. Every memory, from birth to the present, could be unearthed through this ability.


After all, dreams were said to be the window to the subconscious mind. Moreover, this could also prove to be a very useful investigation tool.


And that was not all. Through manipulating one's dreams, one could effectively influence their actions in real life after the person wakes up!


Thinking till here, Bryan couldn't help but involuntarily gulp. Just thinking about the wide applications of this unique otherworldly ability sent chills down his spine.
