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

After having a small gathering with the girls overnight, Malin made their favorite dinner, watched the cloudless stars of Farole with them, and finally fell asleep together.


The next morning, Malin returned to Copenhagen with a set of twelve large fish bombing tools.


After all, an airplane couldn't be built overnight. For Malin, if they could produce a prototype engine that could power the propeller within half a year, he would be extremely grateful.


Therefore, it was the fish bombing tools, something any craftsman could make, that were simple and easy. Malin planned to have the Northern workshops produce these items in the coming days. When it came to combat, they would engrave weight-reducing arrays on them, and mages with control over Spiritual Energy would pull them into the sky. With the cover of their comrades, they would attack those plague cauldrons.
