Half-step Purgatory

For a long time, Malin always felt that Fate had been quite generous to him. Although he had to face that life-threatening job every day, as long as he had the lovely Leopard Girl cooking delicious food for him daily, and as long as there was meat to eat and cats to stroke, life wasn't too unbearable. Working a bit harder and facing some difficulties on the job weren't really an issue for a man.
Moreover, being able to live two lives meant one shouldn't have too high demands, right, Mr. Different-Kind?
Having said that, and without waiting for an answer, the young man snapped his fingers, and the white flame on his fingertip lit the tobacco in his other hand, then he flicked it towards the non-human entity on the stake.
Welcome to Abield, to witness the last splendor of the steampunk era.
And the madness.

Steampunk Era: Mad Abield

Capella Salmon stood in front of the towering floor-to-ceiling windows, looking down at the city beneath her feet. This was the newly established hotel by the Malin Group.


The name is quite strange—The Five-Star Hotel.


The hotel's flag was painted on the side wall of the hotel, with a large five-pointed star at the top, and beneath it, four smaller five-pointed stars pointing towards the larger star with their tips.


It is said that this is the symbol of The Five-Star Hotel, and it seems that it would also become the symbol of the Malin family.


Although it seemed somewhat inexplicable... whatever the powerful use is always right.
