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

After about standing in line for ten minutes, Donald had finally gotten three plates of skewered beef cubes from the stall owner.


As he received the plates, he looked at the store owner and nodded, "Thanks, Carlos!"


Carlos nodded, "Enjoy, Donald. If you need more then let me know. I'll have them ready."


"Sure." Donald smiled. He then walked back towards the car. Meanwhile, Benny excitedly ran circles around Donald as he intently stared at the food.


Seeing Benny jump up and down, Donald couldn't help but chuckle, "Patient, little one."


Over the past couple of days, he had come to grow very fond of Benny. After all, he had never seen a cat like him ever before. And the way Benny ate food all the time was very cute to look at.


Only if Donald knew Benny's true appearance and identity. He would have prostrated himself in front of Benny's feet instead of treating him like a regular pet.
