Neon Mercy

Mercy is a Free Zone on the edge of corporate civilization—lawless, smog-choked, and alive with people who chose to live outside the systems that would own them. Trig is a fixer with a band, a reputation, and a past he doesn’t talk about. Oz is a hacker with rare neuro-tech and no legal autonomy, owned by a man who sees through xyr eyes and listens through xyr ears. When their lives collide, attraction becomes dangerous and trust becomes a liability. Neon Mercy is a cyberpunk noir serial about survival under surveillance, the violence of ownership, and the small, defiant choices that make freedom possible. As corporate interests push closer to Mercy’s borders and black-market tech begins rewriting bodies and minds, Trig and Oz are forced to decide what they’re willing to risk for each other—and for a city that survives by refusing to belong. This story contains explicit themes, violence, and queer and trans characters. Romance is central but not safe. Mercy does not offer happy endings—only earned ones.
