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

As an apprentice Demon Hunter, he didn't yet have the ability to take on those hunting missions.

As for why Niels decided to save money?

Ask old Jack for money? Niels was unwilling—the old man had enough of his own illnesses to spend money on, so he might as well save some himself.


Thinking about this, Niels noticed a group of people coming from a distance—carrying lamps, they seemed to be a Patrol Team, but for safety's sake, Niels still called his teammates out from the sheltered corner nearby.
