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

Bryan looked at the dismembered body of the Blood Path Transcendent in front of him with cold eyes. The person's limbs had been severed, all ribs broken, lungs punctured, and his intestines wrapped around his neck, strangling him.


The man was almost on the verge of dying and had spilled everything he knew about the Holy Blood Sect in Nadir. Although he was a Rank 2 Transcendent, he didn't know much.


But it was enough for Bryan since he now knew the whereabouts of Ron. To be more precise, he knew the whereabouts of his fiancee, Celine!


It came as a great surprise to Bryan when he found out that Celine was also a part of the Holy Blood Sect. Before this, he always thought that Ron used and betrayed Celine just like the rest of the Strike Team members.


However, things were different. And the reason why this person knew so much about Ron and Celine in the first place was that he was a direct subordinate of Ron.
