Steampunk Era: Mad Abield Novel

Malin has long considered himself fortunate despite facing daily life-threatening challenges in his work. His contentment stems from simple pleasures: the companionship of his Leopard Girl, who prepares delicious meals for him, the comfort of eating meat, and the joy of stroking cats. These modest comforts make his hardships bearable, and he accepts that living two lives should not come with excessive expectations. In this steampunk world, Malin exists as both versions of himself, a duality he acknowledges with casual indifference. One moment captures his philosophy perfectly: snapping his fingers to ignite white flame on his fingertip, he lights his tobacco and flicks it toward a non-human entity bound to a stake—a casual act revealing the darkness beneath his mundane existence. Welcome to Abield, the final gleaming chapter of the steampunk era, where wonder and madness intertwine.
