Steampunk Era: Mad Abield

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.

Jiaxi saw a mechanical arm retracting into the painting, and whispers began echoing in his mind.

· "Sorry, went the wrong way."

Went the wrong way? Jiaxi looked at the Magic Carpet, watched as the mechanical arm finally retracted, and saw the picture becoming clear once again, a towering... mechanical factory over a city's ruins?

For some reason, that term popped into Jiaxi's head.

After triple-checking that everything was alright, he walked over to his old friend—this middle-aged man had been his mentor when he first arrived and now a dear friend, both teacher and comrade, who looked quite frightened and asked Jiaxi with uncertainty, "Is it over?"
