Anti_Hero_0891
Declan Cross awakens in the toxic haze of Zaun, transmigrated into the starving body of a street kid within Vander’s found family. He isn't there to be a hero; he is the host for the Undercity Exploitation Network, a parasitic system that converts human suffering into Despair Essence. While Vi and Powder dream of a better world, Declan calculates the profit in their pain, navigating a city where kindness is a "Mercy Debt" that physically cripples him. As the timeline marches toward the inevitable tragedy at the warehouse, he must decide if he will save his new family or harvest their legendary innocence for ultimate power. Interestingly, the system grants him total immunity to Shimmer, turning the Undercity's greatest curse into his personal playground.
