Contractors Will Not Die in Oblivion

In 1999, my district was rated the worst district in the federation. Why? Gangs are on fire all day long, the Gray Realm spreads without anyone dealing with it, and the Extraordinaries are arrogant... Oh yes, and there are those damn Contractors who always turn Metropolis into chaos. This is a fact that cannot be denied, but people still come in droves. This city will always give you a glimmer of hope, whether it's a lie or an illusion, it's so close, as if it's within reach, making people desperate. This place is full of dreams, and I, the immortal, the ferryman Lazarus, am the one chasing dreams.
