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

The third edition's headline read that His Excellency Divine Master Wayne Gaiate of The Great Forest Land was assassinated by unidentified armed personnel in front of the hotel owned by the Gaiate Group where he was staying, while mediating between the increasingly tense relations of the Southern Pact Group and the Northern Holy Group in the Northern Kingdom. The assailant used militarily controlled demon-slaying bullets, striking His Excellency Wayne with seven bullets, resulting in immediate death on the spot.


The Kingdoms of Sydney and Farole expressed the utmost condemnation for such barbaric acts and extended their most sincere condolences to Mr. Devil Gaiate, the offspring of His Excellency Gaiate. It is understood that the Orc Union of The Great Forest Land has already notified the Northern Kingdom, stating if the murderer is not delivered within a week, the Orc Union of The Great Forest Land will join the Southern Pact Group.
