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.

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.

Steampunk Era: Mad Abield

"I thought you came to persuade me." Looking at Lulu standing by his side, Malin reached out and tousled her head.


Lulu shook her head, watching the members of the Dole Vince family being dragged toward the gallows, she quietly said beside Malin: "My grandmother was a daughter of the Vince family, but I have no such criminal relatives. For a piece of meager farmland one can kill today, who knows if tomorrow for a land as big as a country, they might conspire evil thoughts against the King and those loyal to this nation."


Having said that, Lulu sighed, "I heard from Faye that you really like children, this must be very tough for you."


"Yes, it's very tough," Malin watched the children in the line, taking a deep breath.


This sigh, however, he ultimately couldn't breathe out.
