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

"Once the kid has served his purpose and is of no more value to me, you can do with him as you wish," Sean added nonchalantly.


Alfredo's eyes lit up as he finally raised his head to look at Sean, "Thank you very much, Master! I shall do as you instruct!"


Sean nodded ever so slightly and instructed Alfredo to follow after him. The duo then vanished into the dark. 


Meanwhile, inside Bryan's apartment, Benny who was having dinner along with Bryan suddenly raised his head and looked out the window. 


His yellow eyes narrowed ever so slightly as his gaze landed on the rooftop where Sean and his butler, Alfredo, had been just a few moments ago.


Feeling puzzled, Bryan followed Benny's gaze and looked out the window. However, he found nothing. He then turned back around and looked at Benny as he asked, "What is it, Benny?"


Benny shook his head and as he replied mentally, 'Nothing, just a few rats loitering around.'


The duo then got back to finishing their dinner.
